Progress depends on a combination of resistance training, proper nutrition, recovery, and long-term consistency. Many people start with enthusiasm but struggle because they follow complicated routines or change their approach too often.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"1057\">Whether you&#8217;re a beginner or trying to improve an existing routine, understanding the basics can help you make better decisions.
