If your goal in the gym is to train for muscle growth, you just need to know the basics and a few core principles.

In this episode of The Strength Log, we'll break it down for you:

1. How fast can you gain muscle mass?
2. What causes your muscles to grow?
3. How often should you train a muscle group?
4. How many weekly sets should you hit your muscle groups with?
5. How many reps should you do in each set?
6. How long should you rest between sets?
7. What are the best exercises when training for muscle growth?

That’s about it. It’s not very complicated—in theory—but the more time we spend in the gym, the more we tend to forget about what actually matters.

So, here you go: our quick guide to muscle growth!
