Avoiding Common Mistakes for Beginners to Weight Lifting

By Ricardo d Argence

Everybody has their own method for building muscle and getting their dream body. The problem is that few people achieve their goals, because more often than not they fall into the same traps and mistakes that the majority of beginners fall into. Your body needs to be fueled properly with food and water and your muscles need time to repair and recover.

However, there are also many other issues that you should not do, as these things can cause your body harm or provide you with an unwanted unbalance in your physique. You should avoid things like:

-Not Having a Plan: No matter how experienced you are, you need a plan to get you started and allow you to keep track of your progress and results. Buy a small notebook or journal that you can take with you to the gym and around in the rest of you day. Keep track of things such as:

1. Personal Assessment: You need to know where you are right now. 2. Goal Setting: You need to know where you want to be. 3. Training Strategy: You need to know how you will get there.

Step by Step Implementation " It's one thing to have a large plan of action, it's another thing to have detailed steps that you are going to follow to actually implement it.

Results and Progress " You of course want to be tracking your results and how you are improving. Keep track of how much you weigh, how much you lift and compare your workouts with the results to see what is achieving the most success.

Keeping a training journal and calendar will aid you in preventing from skipping any of your scheduled workouts. Keeping up with your scheduled workouts are essential when you are a bodybuilder.

-Bad Eating Habits: A lot of beginners to bodybuilding and muscle building make the mistake of following bad eating habits. They don't realize that what you eat plays an equal role in how your body looks and feels. You need to make healthy eating decisions all day long so that your muscles can grow and you can burn fat.

-Wasting Money on Supplements or Drugs: By and large, the majority of supplements and over the counter drugs out there do not live up to the claims that they make. Illegal drugs such as steroids are extremely harmful for your body and of course can land you in trouble with the law. Avoid all of these things and save yourself the money and hassle.

- Repeating the Same Workouts Without Achieving Progressive Overload: When you want to grow muscles you have to challenge yourself and stay constant with your techniques until it becomes obvious you are not experiencing continual growth.

When your workout is the same for each session, your muscle growth is eventually going to stop because your muscles are accustomed to what you are doing. Therefore you always want to be adding more weight or pushing for more repetitions to stimulate growth. You can also increase the length or intensity of your cardio sessions or add another set to challenge yourself further.

- Not Getting the Most of Rest and Recovery: You need the proper amount of rest and recovery. Get plenty of restful sleep to recover from muscle inflammation and soreness by resting more often. - 17274
