And people who never gave you a second glance before... want to size you up (and check you out)

But here's something else we know...

Gaining more muscle can be tough if you don't know what you're doing.

Heck, EVERYONE would be jacked and tan if it were easy.

That's why we want to make sure you get started THE RIGHT WAY.

On this page you'll find the best resources and blog posts for gaining muscle so you can start building your chest and biceps.

And finally fill out those baggy t-shirts.

An Aesthetic Shoulder Workout for Mass (Bigger Delts)

By

No matter what you call ‘em — shoulder caps, boulders, cannonballs, even coconuts (if you’re feeling a little risqué) — the shoulders are the black sheep of the upper body.

They earn a nice residual pump as you crank out incline bench presses and cable rows. But by the time you load the bar for military presses, those delicate deltoids are already destroyed.

Fight through the fatigue in the name of volume — risk overtraining or injury.

Sideline the delts altogether — never achieve bulky shoulders and that glorious V-taper.

Welcome, the newest addition to your current mass-building split … Josh England’s Cannonball Delts: The Ultimate 12 Week Shoulder Building Program.

Check out this aesthetic shoulder workout for mass (and pure deltoid destruction)!

The noob gains — and the confidence that comes with them — can only last for so long. Six months and 20+ pounds of mass later, the reflection in the mirror will begin to seem permanent.

Strangely enough, you’re doing everything right.

A gram of protein per pound.

A professionally-designed, hardcore split routine.

An extra plate on the bar every time you max out.

The strength increases remain steady, yet the physical plateau hits your ego like a ton of bricks.

Telling your buddies that you bench 200+ pounds sounds like pure folklore when your shirts look no tighter, and the number on the scale hardly increases.

You just don’t get it: Why are you getting stronger but not bigger? Here are seven reasons!
