Alpha Burst No2 A good muscle building program should prioritize strength above all else. You will be able to increase the amount of weights you lift over time. If you look at when you are just beginning, you should see yourself lifting five percent more than you have two workout sessions ago. This trend should be continual. If you're not meeting goals, rethink your routine. If you feel weak during this workout session, it is possible you are not entirely recovered from your last session.
