Optimizing Muscle Growth: Priorities, Foods, and Training Frequency

The three biggest priorities for successful muscle growth, according to Dr. Mike Israetel, are training quality, training structure, and training quantity. Training quality involves correct technique and the ability to push muscles close to failure. Training structure includes the order of exercises within muscle groups, the order of muscle groups within a session, and the number and placement of sessions within the week. Training quantity refers to the weight, reps, and sets per muscle group, per workout, and per week. Progressive overload and proper form are also important factors to consider when training for muscle growth.
