Common Gym Mistakes

Here is a couple of things I have noticed being done that shouldn't, and also things that I have done at the gym before I knew any better myself.

  • Not Lifting enough weight
  • Not doing any or enough reps
  • Starting cold: You should always start with a lighter weight when working out a new muscle group then after one rep you can increase the weight
  • Thinking if they work off the junk they ate before coming to the gym they will look and feel different... Sorry but what you put in your body still counts
  • Cardio after weights - no exception
There is this idea that doing some time on the treadmill will help warm your body up so that you are ready to lift weights. Big mistake this depletes your muscles and therefore build less muscle and burn less fat; ending in a less effective workout.
