I got the chance to ask Jason Ferruggia The Author of Triple Threat Muscle and Muscle Gaining Secrets the question “Why do most muscle building programs fail?…
Jason Ferruggia: I think programs fail because, everyone jumps from one thing to the other. I mean, I get questions a lot of times from guys who say, what’s the best exercise to improve my squat? I say, what the fuck…like, you’ve been training for a year, stop trying to overcomplicate this stuff.
The squat…unless your Chuck Vogelpohl, then squat 52 weeks a year, I still squat 52 weeks a year. I don’t need box squats and reverse stand squats and all that shit because I’m not Chuck Vogelpohl.
So, take a few exercises, do them 52 weeks a year and you will get stronger on them and you’ll get better. Add in a handful of…well, maybe more than a handful, you really want to have a handful of big exercises that you measure your progress on: a clean, squat, bench, dead. And pick maybe a couple dozen assistance exercises that your rotate in and out, and those will always be…they’ll be changing based on your weaknesses and your imbalances which are always changing anyway. So, that kind of stuff, more general kind of stuff.
A lot of peoples programs fail because they tend to over train, do too much volume, train for too long, go to the gym too many days a week. A lot of people use machines. A lot of people do body part splits. All that kind of stuff is a recipe for failure.
So most people if they would just pick one program, and follow it all the way through they will see results it’s impossible not to.
If your looking for a killer program to start I highly recommend Jason’s program Triple Threat Muscle it will get you th results you want.
