Do you want to get the most out of your bodybuilding exercises and program?
Here is a look at the 7 biggest mistakes people make when taking part in bodybuilding workouts:
1/ Not enjoying your workouts.
How long will you continue to do a workout that you don’t enjoy?
Not very long. Get your brain and body in the right gear and you will enjoy results with your body building program for years to come.
2/ Bad form.
What do you want to do; work your muscles or waste your time and energy?
This is the choice you make when you use bad form in your lifting. How many people do you see doing bicep exercises by swinging the weight up and letting it drop back down?
They are working their back and legs more than their biceps!
Put the stress on the muscle, where it belongs.
3/ Not resting enough.
When do your muscles grow?
In the gym, or when you are resting and recovering later on?
You grow when you rest, so if you don’t rest enough, you don’t grow. Simple.
The great question here is how to maximise your rest?
4/ Too heavy, Too soon.
Packing on more weight, thinking you are giving your muscles the stress they need to grow might seem like a good idea, until you stress them too much and they can’t recover between sessions. This is the sole reason that most people need to do a split routine, and even then the stress is too much and you end up shrinking as they reject the workout stress.
That’s not what you want!
So, when you get your training intensity and volume right, you don’t need to do a split routine and you get the chance to optimise your muscle growth.
5/ Training to long.
How do you optimise your rest?
By making sure you don’t workout for too long.
Your bodybuilding routine should make sure you get out of the gym before your muscles start shrinking. Almost everyone in the bodybuilding field knows this, yet how many people do you see working out for longer than an hour?
6/ Supplements will save us.
How much difference do top pro’s think supplements make to their results?
80%?
50?
20?
Nope, it’s about 5%, at best.
So if it ain’t in ‘the worlds first super peptide mass harnessed gaining muscle matrix’
What is it?
7/ If I’m not gaining it’s my workout that’s at fault.
That might be true, but it’s much more likely to be your diet. Remember percentages for each part of your bodybuilding training plan above?
The estimated percentage for diet?
90%
