Constantly changing workout routines in search of the perfect biomechanical plan hinders muscle growth. Instead of overcomplicating training based on influencer advice, lifters should choose a solid program and stick to it consistently for at least 12 weeks. Focusing on long-term progressive overload is far more effective than chasing theoretical perfection.
