5 Beginner Gym Mistakes You Need to Avoid!

I would like to counter-argue that many repetitions over a long time consistently will have very good results if you're trying to build your muscles, you don't have to do big heavy weights that hit the ceiling, because this can do more damage than it gives returns, and you might not feel like doing them subconsciously. You're trying to get fit, not become a bodybuilder.

.

Please stop saying bro-ettes.

went to the gym for the first time yesterday, i had no clue what to do but i thought i should do cardio first since i tend to get lightheaded and possibly passing out when pushing myself (which is something i should do since i'm in a gym) so i need to strengthen my heart first, but tbh i wanted to try out one of the machines but i'm afraid i would fall since idk proper form yet.. being underweight sucks man i dont like it anymore

Number 6 don't do stupid health magazine exercises in the gym. Stick to the basics. Don't embarrass yourself 🤨

"beginners will hesitate to lift heavy"

ego lifters:😈

100% agree, the first thing i think about when stepping in to a gym is "where is the pizza?"

Thanks for the info. I was not sure about subscribing to a gym. But after seeing this I known I will never set foot in one ever.

Nice vid but Ill still spam spider curls 😂

I have imagined a competition routine to Bohemian Rapsody with a corresponding gymnastic floor moves.

The taste of the gym water isn't that good indeed but the flavoring combined with artificial sweetners covers up the taste of chlorine and whatever else there is. And i tend to drink multiple liters, even when i'm not thirsty.

people who go to the gym have no job

That's why homeworkout is best

I suck at compound lift tho ... especially bench.

The first one is just false. You don’t need “stabilizer muscles” especially if your goal is growth. Machine are usually much better than free weight as stable movements allow you to recruit more muscle fibers when you’re doing those last 5 reps that really matter. Machines are almost always adjustable so height shouldn’t be an issue and the “natural movement path” is only true for some machines but it’s definitely worth it for the better stability that machines have.

Number 4 is kinda wrong for beginners

God bless y’all good video

thank you very much this has helped me alot more than i thought it would in my fitness journey. i wouldn't be here without it and i'm very grateful.

I hate my city dude… these massive dudes be gatekeeping all of their information as if the whole world will end if they told you what to do😒

Terrible advice 1,2 and 3. This is why so few people are afraid to go to the gym - they think about these 10000 rules instead of just showing up and lifting anything.

I was making first 4 of them lol

The biggest mistake I made, is only using machines for the first few months at being in the gym, because one day i thought i would try to bench 135, but I failed miserably, and from now on I started to mainly use free weights.

The first one is argumentable. I only use machines because they have a lower risk of injury (correct me if I‘m wrong please) and I‘d rather be safe with less gains then paralysed with a 2“ biceps. Though, completely understandable that people like to use free weights. Doesn’t matter what you do, at least you do!

I workout 20min after eating peanut butter with bread. Now drinking water after 40 min makes me feel to vomit, it's hard to control 😢

You forgot to mention DO NOT LOOK IN A GIRL'S GENERAL DIRECTION IF THEY ARE RECORDING.

People are afraid/embarrassed to ask for help? Unless you interrupt someone mid-set, it's like giving them a complement
"I look at how you are built and how you train and decided that you have the authority/knowledge to help me get better"

I disagree on the ego lifting part a beginning must get used to the weights first then once a rep becomes too easy then you add additional weights to the workload

Make sure to train flexibility as well. It is immensely important.

Fuck gym fashion trends

volume sets to absolute failure get you just as strong as heavy short sets. There are multiple studies that back this up.

Using free weight before you are used to using weights, it can be very dangerous.

the thing with peogressive overload is that it is really easy to get hurt, lose motivation, and/or not do the exercise as efficiently as you would with less weight.

First mistake you can make is not going to the gym in the first place. Or at least try to make an effort to do something at home. Second mistake is not getting enough rest or sleep, it’s like a reset that most people lack. Third mistake is eating too much fattening foods. More junk and you’ll receive it easily. Fourth mistake is like this video states, not drinking enough water and or not bringing your water bottle in the gym is the worst thing to do when sweating off those calories and getting them gains. I personally struggle with this on my own so I need to live in it before I can teach it.

The asking for help is tough.

by the way / when I started bodybuilding fitness 28 years ago - I worked out Chest every single day for weeks ;-). lol nobody told me how stupid that was

Great video! It's so important for beginners to be aware of these common mistakes to avoid injury and get the most out of their workouts. One thing I've learned from years of experience is the importance of proper form and technique - it's easy to get caught up in trying to lift heavier weights or push harder, but if your form is off, you're only setting yourself up for trouble in the long run. Keep up the good work in helping newbies navigate the gym safely and effectively!

My problem is I get sore a lote and it don’t go away

the most annoying thing about gyms is when its packed and you have to wait like 20 mins for a machine

Good god.. I'm not trying to become a pseudo- Olympian. I just want to get in slightly better shape! I don't need the excessive attention to detail of all of the muscle groups this crap is trying to emphasize. Some people just want a casual workout. This is a level of detail not everyone is interested in. I have a beer belly and no muscle tone. Anything from here is an improvement.

Rule 1: don’t take advice from a small lifter

Brawndo is all i drink on endurance days

thank you ..

I like this video but when you where talking about isolation exercises. The tricep dip actually works your core aswell as your triceps.

I actually need to use mashines. From free weight exercises, all I can do are sitting and laying down ones, as I have disability, involving feet, so I can't overweight or generally use too much of them.

the robot scared me when it flashed'

Not going anywhere I have my gym at home
