Do You Make These 4 Common Training Mistakes? (Part Deux)
Continuing with the post from two days ago on common training mistakes I was asked about in an interview…
Mistake #3: Using machines almost exclusively
If they’re training legs, people will do some leg extensions, move on to the leg press, hop on the lying leg curl machine, then do a few hip abductions and adductions, and call it a day after that.
What a waste of time.
You would get a much better training effect when replacing those exercises with a single- or double-leg squat variation, deadlift variation, glute ham raises and hip thrusts.
Machines can be useful for certain exercises and in certain situations but the majority of your training should consist of free weights – barbells, dumbbells and your own bodyweight.
Mistake #4: Unbalanced training
By “unbalanced”, I mean guys will work the show muscles (chest, shoulders & arms) all day long, and completely neglect the backside of the body – the upper back, glutes and hamstrings.
Overemphasizing the front side of the body will lead to muscular imbalances, slouchy posture and increase injury risk.
Not to mention that a dude with a pancake ass and wet noodles for hamstrings won’t score high with the ladies.
Or dominate on the field or pitch.
Just sayin’.
To rid yourself of a flat ass, shaky hamstrings and a frail upper body, go to:
