To build muscle you need to get stronger in the gym. Adding more load & or reps over time = you will build muscle tissue
For this you need to actually track your training. If you just turn up & try to remember what you did the session before your numbers will always be out of wack, itโs hard to remember. Just track them in notes, an app, or a note book.
โ Here's what NOT to do:
Training everything for 4 x 15-20 reps or until complete & utter failure every week so you can't move it for 5 days, this is just unneeded volume which will take you ages to recover from & your next session will likely be s**t
Thereโs no need for excessive sets & reps because you are just exhausting yourself for a tiny ROI. If youโre working with a coach or PT, & theyโre having you do this, You should question them on why, as they probably don't consistently do that much every week themselves
If youโre working with someone, they should be teaching you to get strong! Anyone can make you tired & have you do an hour of cardio per session, 15k steps, & on super low calories. Itโs not rocket science that you will probably lose weight but at the same you will be suffering, probably one wrong move away from injury, & feeling as flat as a pancake.

Here's what you SHOULD do in the gym to get stronger, simplified
Track your training - weights/sets/reps however suits you best
Work in all rep ranges - do this to suit your goal
Push for overload - but do this the smart way, with your numbers, with your brain, not doing drop a set of 100 reps on bicep curls until you canโt lift your arms
DM me the word โSTRONGโ if you want help finally getting stronger & in shape ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
