Lifting weights is all about getting tough and buff but really, it is a very fragile task. You need to do it right or else it will come out horribly wrong. There are some things that you need to be really careful not to do if you want an excellent result. Do not do these!
Starting a training tired.
When you lift weights it is good to have a schedule, have days that you specifically reserve for resting your muscles. As much as you think working out those muscles everyday means you get buffer more quickly, all you are doing is harming yourself. You won’t be productive at the gym anyway because you will be tired to function properly. Make sure to start fresh with a well rested body on every weight lifting day at the gym.
Routines get boring.
Doing the same thing all the time is boring, it’s just like eating the same food all the time or listening to one song on repeat, boring huh? Plus your muscles with get used to that particular type of weight lifting exercise so it won’t be a challenge to them anymore and that won’t help them grow. Mix it up every now and then to challenge yourself, don’t just stay in your comfort zone, try new things.
Control the ego.
Anything you do with excess ego is doomed to fail, but boy! Do weight lifters take it to a whole new level? The shouting and growling in the gym and chest-beating after a round of lifts among peers as they cheer you on. All of that doesn’t do anything but harm you, because that peer pressure can make you lift weights far exceeding your capabilities which can be very harmful to your muscles, plus you ain’t even doing it right have the time. Drop the ego man!
More is less.
You know when people tell girls “less is more”? Because they are wearing less clothes and therefore showing more skin? Yeah well, most weight lifters do it do, only this time it’s in the reverse and it’s not about the clothes they wear but more like the amount of weights they lift. You do not need to lifts the highest weights in the gym to make a difference. Take it easy, you need to learn how to walk first before you can fly.
Mirror mirror on the wall.
The mirrors at the gym are not just for taking selfies you know, or to look at how bulky you muscles are. So instead of going all “mirror mirror on the wall, who is the toughest of us all?” look at the mirror when lifting to see if you are doing it right, if every muscle is aligned as it should be, because that is the actual purpose of a mirror in a gym.
