The most common mistakes in the gym

Many of those who attend the gym in a more or less assiduous way, in search of a natural development of the musculature, have passed through a discouragement phase when, after a start of great results, these begin to scarce or the efforts made are unable to show evident signs of growth.

Unfortunately we do not make a sense developed to understand if our body is making a good training, for this reason it is always good to avoid making the following, and too often, common errors:

• Exercises performed too quickly;
• Exercises done with incomplete extension movement;
• Workout too long, some over two hours;
• High frequency of training, over 4 days a week. The body, in fact, needs to rest;
• Guided training with machines instead of fundamental exercises such as bench, tractions, squats or detachments;
• Use generic cards found on the internet, instead of a card suitable for your physical structure;
• Trust the friend in the gym because it is big and inspires confidence.
• Train without an adequate diet aimed at the workout of training;
• Use poor quality supplements without knowing its content;
• Do a lot of aerobic activity thinking of facilitating the toning process;
• Perform super series and other specific training techniques without having the right basic technique;
• Do exercises in search of muscle pain as a symptomatic of good training;
• To imitate training programs of professional athletes with many exercises for muscle group.

Reiterating previous errors, expecting the best results, is at least misleading. So remember, when you are in training, use your head much more than the body. Always talk to a professional in the prepared and qualified sector. A professional personal trainer or the instructor of your gym will be able to indicate with responsibility for a good training method.
