Training mistakes I see in the gym every day.
1. Ego lifting – You’re not going to make progress by attempting a 1 rep max every session. If your goal is to build muscle, you should be aiming to improve your max reps in the higher rep ranges.
2. Poor form – Doing partial reps and not controlling the weight is going to hinder your progress. You should be taking your muscles through their full range of motion and using controlled eccentrics to maximise muscle growth.
3. Lack of intensity – If you’re not training with adequate intensity, you’re not going to see good results. If you want to make progress, you should be gradually increasing training intensity and the demands on the body.
When I was a teenager, I would attempt a bench press 1 rep max nearly every week and be stunned by the fact I was unable to lift more. If you want to maximise your time in the gym, avoid the urge to ego lift every session as a way to measure your progress.
Building strength and muscle takes time and patience. Ensure you are lifting with good form and training with adequate intensity to stimulate growth.
Wide grip pull-ups with client 💪🏻
Are pull-ups posing a challenge you're struggling to overcome? Are you finding it difficult to target your lats and build muscle?
The wider hand placement during a wide grip pull-up provides more activation for your lats than a traditional pull-up or chin-up. This helps strengthen the lats and adds width to your upper body.
Practice using an assisted pull-up machine or with resistance bands if you aren't able to perfrom them at bodyweight.
Drop me a message if you want help on how to master pull-ups.
