Does running help you build muscle?
Early morning, a little cool outside but great weather to go for a run you think
You stretch
Put your headphones in
You got your music going…
You finish up your run with this sense of accomplishment
You got a great sweat in…but
You realize it’s been a couple months and you haven’t gained any definition…
You haven’t gained any muscle mass
It’s frustrating because your doing the push-ups, sit ups and running…
But still

So you get discouraged from even running cause it’s not getting you results you want.
Guys RUNNING WILL NOT HELP YOU GAIN MUSCLE MASS
Running is a great form of exercise…to help you get better at running!
If that’s your goal I respect that…running is hard asf 
…and I can attest to that
But if you want to gain muscle mass, have a bigger chest, bigger arms, bigger shoulders, running will not help you…

Getting stronger over time on your squats, bench and deadlifts builds muscle mass
Running will help your cardio…so you can keep your heart healthy
YOU CAN DO BOTH! You can run and lift weights but if your main goal is to build muscle the lifting has to be prioritized
Running burns calories and gets you better AT RUNNING
Weight training helps you actually BUILD MUSCLE
So imagine you start shifting your training to weight lifting…
No more discouragement…MORE RESULTS BEING SEEN
More confidence than ever
Start doing the right form of exercise for the goals that you want to reach and you”ll start seeing the results you want
