3 common mistakes that kill your gains 👇

1. Not training hard enough.

Look, if your sets don't come anywhere near failure you're completely wasting your time.

 You don't have to REACH failure but you should at least APPROACH failure (without compromising your form).

The last 1-3 reps of your set should be HARD.

How do you know if it's hard enough?

The weight will move slower and there's nothing you can do about it.

Look how slow the weight is moving in my video. I couldn't move it faster even if there was a gun to my head.

2. Not allowing enough recovery.

Muscles require time to recover from the STRESS that is a hard workout.

If you trained properly, 24 hours is not long enough to be fully recovered.

Even 48 hours is likely not long enough to be fully recovered.

You will be weaker before you will be stronger.

Give yourself adequate time to recover. Performance will be improved and you'll make more progress.

3. Skipping Compound Movements

Neglecting compound exercises is a common mistake.

These movements work multiple muscle groups simultaneously and are crucial for building strength and mass.

If you're not including exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses in your routine, you're missing out on major gains.
