5 Fitness Hacks For Explosive Gains

Even though we’re halfway through summer, it’s not too late to get your dream physique!

More gyms are starting to open up since quarantine restrictions are being lifted.

If you didn’t keep up with your “home workout” during the lockdown, then you need to work harder to make up for the lost gains.

Here are 5 tips to help you quickly achieve a summer body that you can confidently show off.

5 tips to maximize muscle growth ASAP

1. Make a game plan

Too many guys show up to the gym not knowing where to start. Plan out your weekly routine so you can avoid wandering aimlessly around while you decide what to do next.  It will also help you track your progress and set the goals you want to achieve the following week.

Having a strict, consistent schedule is the easiest way for noticeable gains in the shortest time possible!

2. Maximize your gym time

You’re not the only guy wanting to look good this summer, everyone’s rushing back to the gym.

You don’t want to be wasting valuable time waiting around for equipment to be free. Standing around affects your performance because you’re letting your body rest and your heart rate drop.

Ask the front desk to find out the “busy hours” so you can avoid the mob and work out in peace.

3. Take it easy (at first)

It’s been a while since you pumped iron, so you might find your previous weights too heavy to lift. Your body needs a warm-up! Start out with easier exercises like pushups or using lighter weights for the first rep. Making time for a “warm up rep” will boost your performance by prepping your body for a full workout routine. The last thing you want to do is injure yourself the first day back!

Pro tip: Jog or bike to the gym so you will be all warmed up when you get there!

4. Go airplane mode

So many guys spend way too much time on their phone at the gym. Don’t be the guy hogging the equipment because he’s busy texting, or spending 20 minutes flexing in the mirror. Turn your phone on airplane mode to avoid unnecessary distractions. Even better, if you don’t need your phone for music or fitness tracking apps, leave it in the locker room!

5. Squad Up

Having gym buddies is the best way to stay motivated at the gym. Going as a group will force you to stick to the schedule. No more skipping gym days when you “don’t feel like it.”

You don’t wanna disappoint the squad!

Plus, they will have no problem roasting you when you’re slacking. Guys will always give you the motivation you need for that last extra rep by “hyping you up”.

Get back on track

That’s it, 5 easy tips you can do to level up your post-quarantine workout routine! Remember, it’s never too late to get a body that you can confidently show off. Make up for lost gains ASAP so you can enjoy the rest of the summertime!
