015: 3 Biggest Mistakes Beginners Make in the Gym

WHY YOU ARE NOT SEEING PROGRESS:

1) WORKOUTS

doing too much —> EVERY DAY
not doing enough —> 1x/week
cardio only
program hopper

what should we apply?4-6 week program focused on progressive overload (increase reps, increase sets, increase volume, increase weight, increase time under tension)
track your lifts and progress!
learn to train with correct intensity (ties in with progressive overload)

2) NUTRITION

eating whatever they want because they worked out (punishment v reward)

not eating enough (and its usually NOT ENOUGH PROTEIN)protein to build muscle!

do we NEED to track? (demonized in some circles)yes and no
generally, bringing more awareness to what you're eating and how you feel after eating can make a big difference

3) NON-EXERCISE-RELATED ACTIVITIES

social health, spiritual health, financial health, emotional health, mental health —> what if instead of “health” its “hygiene”water
stress
sleep
go play
