Most people think they’re training hard in the gym… but the results say otherwise.
In this episode, we break down the most common mistakes holding people back from building muscle, getting stronger, and actually seeing progress - even if they’re consistent.
From poorly balanced workouts to sloppy form, wasted rest time, and treating nutrition like an afterthought, these errors add up fast and silently kill results.
(0:00) - Intro
1- Strength training to cardio/other ratio is out of proportion
ex- 30min strength, 30min cardio
20min strength, 15 min stretching, 15 min sauna
2- Form is all over the place
too much swinging, improper hinging, not full range of motion etc,
Easy fix? 2 options: Form guide & form playlist
3- Not pushing yourself
On average most people will leave 7+ reps left in the tank, which means no proper stimulus or overload
Often people pick the same weight and never add 2.5’s, etc
4- Worrying what others think about you
Everyone is there to better themselves, don’t be afraid to make a mistake or do an exercise that looks “silly”
5- Rest time is either too long or too short
ex- talking a ton
Compounds: 2-4 minutes
Accessories- 45-90 seconds
6- Doing the easy stuff
Big difference in doing- barbell squat, stiff leg deads, leg press & hip thrust vs. quad extension, hammy curl, abductor & calves.
7- Not following a proper routine
60-80% of people in the gym are not following a proper routine
8- Treating nutrition as an afterthought
This one is unique but probably one of the most important tips
You can’t out-train inconsistent eating.
