In this episode, we break down the most common mistakes holding people back from building muscle, getting stronger, and actually seeing progress - even if they’re consistent. From poorly balanced workouts to sloppy form, wasted rest time, and treating nutrition like an afterthought, these errors add up fast and silently kill results. (0:00) - Intro 1- Strength training to cardio/other ratio is out of proportion ex- 30min strength, 30min cardio 20min strength, 15 min stretching, 15 min sauna 2- Form is all over the place too much swinging, improper hinging, not full range of motion etc, Easy fix? 2 options: Form guide & form playlist 3- Not pushing yourself On average most people will leave 7+ reps left in the tank, which means no proper stimulus or overload Often people pick the same weight and never add 2.5’s, etc 4- Worrying what others think about you Everyone is there to better themselves, don’t be afraid to make a mistake or do an exercise that looks “silly” 5-   Rest time is either too long or too short ex- talking a ton Compounds: 2-4 minutes Accessories- 45-90 seconds 6- Doing the easy stuff Big difference in doing- barbell squat, stiff leg deads, leg press & hip thrust vs. quad extension, hammy curl, abductor & calves. 7- Not following a proper routine 60-80% of people in the gym are not following a proper routine 8- Treating nutrition as an afterthought This one is unique but probably one of the most important tips You can’t out-train inconsistent eating.
