I know what you want.

You want to know how to build more muscle, don't you? (you vain bastard).

Let’s quickly break down how muscle growth actually works.

There are 3 main drivers of building muscle:

Mechanical tension - lifting something heavy (this can be a KB or your bodyweight).

Metabolic stress - the burn you feel when the muscle is working hard.

Muscle damage - small tears that repair stronger.

Most gym routines try to hit all 3 by throwing you into 60-minute workouts with 15 different exercises.

But here’s the truth:

You don’t need an hour. You just need to train smart .

You can build muscle in 10 minutes if you hit one or more of those drivers with purpose.

Here’s how:

Tension: Do hard sets of push-ups, pull-ups, goblet squats, or rows. Use a slow tempo.

Metabolic stress: Pick one exercise. Do as many reps as possible. Rest 30 seconds. Do it again. Repeat 3x. Your muscles will be on fire.

Muscle damage: Stretch the muscle under load - like slow kettlebell Romanian deadlifts or deep ring dips. Controlled, slow reps here make a huge difference.

Is it scientifically optimal in a single workout? Probably not.

But done consistently, 10-minute workouts can be far more effective over time than the “ideal” workout you keep skipping.

Most people go all in for a few weeks... then burn out and quit.

If you just did 10 minutes a day, for a year, you’d be in a completely different body.

Slow growth is sustainable growth.

And done right, 10 minutes a day can build serious muscle.
