For three years, I have been at each angle when it comes to weight training. I have gone to strength training, bodybuilding, powerlifting, and even a stint of endurance. Believe it or not, less work is done in the gym. It is the work done OUTSIDE that makes the difference. Here are a few pitfalls that I believe can hurt or accelerate results.
- Rest
Rest does it all: recover, gives energy, and actually……makes you grow! The opposite for those who are losing weight as well. Getting those 8 hours can be a pain, but try to ‘get it in.’ - Overtraining
You will notice it. I am referring to that pain right in the leg or arm that just won’t go away. That moment when you hear a pop when pushing that heavy weight. Though it is fine to push the body, you can only push it so far… - Nutrition
Nutrition and exercise go hand in hand. Clean carbs, proteins, and a somewhat clean diet helps bring better results than a random diet. Before you touch the iron, touch the kitchen. - Water….Water…Water
H20….water….that clear liquid stuff….it is essential. SO CHUG IT!
Those are the 4 things that I definitely learned the easy (sometimes hard) way when it comes to training. What do you think about it?
