Trainers know that you can’t out-train a poor diet. Stop worrying about "superfoods" and focus on the basics:
The secret to muscle growth isn't always more weight; it’s how long your muscles are working. Instead of rushing through reps, trainers use a "tempo." Try lowering yourself for three seconds, pausing for one, and exploding upward for one. This makes bodyweight exercises feel twice as difficult and twice as effective. 3. The 80/20 Rule of Nutrition
Personal trainers don't invent new exercises every day; they focus on five functional movement patterns that provide the most "bang for your buck."
