Match Your Motivation, Build More Muscle

Arnold at the beach - Look Bigger with One Simple Exercise

Q: I always have a problem making gains in the winter. It starts around Halloween, when the weather starts getting cooler and the bowls of candy start taunting me. Then it’s Thanksgiving, pumpkin pie, and it’s even colder outside. I lose the motivation to hit the gym, and my muscles usually shrink and get shrouded with a layer of fat.

(We speak from experience—it’s happened to us on more than one occasion). [Read more…]
