20 things I'd go back and tell myself at the start of my gym journey 

1. You would get better results by doing half as much. https://t.co/4wdwCm5G5A

2. Your time-consuming routine isn't allowing for proper recovery.

3. You lift too heavy, way too often.

4. Your form needs work.

5. You lift too fast on each rep.

6. Stop working through pain, you'll regret it.

7. You're doing too many exercises and sets.

8. You're not allowing enough time between workouts for muscles to recover.

9. You're never going to be strong enough to be a powerlifter, so stop training like one.

10. Barbells are not the be-all and end-all. Stop overlooking dumbbells and machines.

11. You don't need an hour in the gym.

12. Use less weight, lift slower and with better form.

13. Stop spending so much time in a calorie deficit.

14. Sets over 10 reps are definitely worth your time.

15. You spend too much on supplements. Many of them aren't doing anything.

16. You're wasting too much time in the gym.

17. Start tracking what you lift...

18. But don't always try to add reps or weight when it isn't earned.

19. You don't have to do more volume every time you go to the gym.

20. Some exercises aren't for you and that's OK.

Bonus tip:

21. You're going to become a dad one day. Your time will be extremely limited with work and family responsibilities.
