Mistakes Beginners do at the GYM

When a beginner enters the Gym, he has no idea what to do at the gym. He just simply follows what the trainer suggests him. Now, when we are new to the gym it is the time our body is new to all the stuff, so if we just push ourselves a little bit harder we will see massive results. A beginning is a phase of massive gains, it's that time where you can easily build muscle without many efforts because we have never trained our body with weights before so when we start training our body gets shocked and it starts getting stronger. But that is the time most people become careless and they totally neglect their training and nutrition.
So, today we will talk about the mistakes beginners do at the Gym that is killing their gains.

1. Not Being Consistent

The most common mistake beginners do at the gym is that they are not consistent. Now when I say 'consistent', it means that they are not regular with their workouts and nutrition. As a beginner, you should at least try to workout 4 times a week. That way your muscles will get a needed attention and they will grow. When people take their gym membership, the first week they will work out with full energy, and next week they are off. Try to workout at least 4 times a week. At the beginning phase, you don't need to work out extra hard, just basic stuff will do the job for your body.

So, stay consistent.

2. Neglecting Nutrition

Another common mistake beginners do is that they totally neglect nutrition. Now I am not saying that consume crazy 2 grams per kg protein, that is not required at that time. Your body will take benefits even if you take a little bit care of your nutrition. In my opinion, consume at least 0.7 grams of protein per kg of your body weight. For example, if your weight is 80 kgs then you should try to consume 55 grams of protein. Your protein should be quality protein coming from dairy, eggs, or chicken. Proteins are the building blocks of your muscles, your body needs protein to build muscle

Another important Macronutrient is Fats, people often ignore fats. Along with protein, Fats will also help you build muscle and create new muscle tissue. Have essential fatty acids in your diet like Fish oil, olive oil, nuts, egg yolks, and coconut oil.

So, try to have at least 0.7 grams of protein per kg of your bodyweight and along with some Fats in your diet.

3. Wasting Money on Supplements

Beginners often waste money on supplements they don't need. Actually, a beginner doesn't need any supplement, because, their body is so new and fresh to training that it will work even without any supplements.

I have seen many beginners sipping BCAA during their workout, they don't need that. Try to save money and instead spend money on your diet, supplements like BCAA, Carnitine would not work on you. So as a beginner you don't need any supplements. A decent workout and a decent diet will work wonders for you.

But if you still have money to spend, supplement with Creatine Monohydrate, which will provide strength to you during your workouts and it's also not very expensive.

4. Not Focusing on Form

Not only beginners but some advanced people are also performing this mistake. A form is the only this that will build your muscle at the gym. Mindlessly pushing extra weights would not build muscle for you. Now as a beginner it would be best if you hire a personal trainer that can guide you with proper Form of exercise, or you can consult with someone else who has 2 to 3 years of experience in working out.

So always perform an exercise with proper form and Build Muscle.
