what are the most common mistakes made when traininig for muscle growth?

Question

overtraining, bad diet.. what else?

Answer 1

There are a lot of varieties here to be concerned with like the ones mentioned earlier. But the one most common mistake is not having proper rest. I have seen a lot of people not rest enough during there training. They believe that the more they train, the bigger the muscle will get. Not so. You see you tear muscle tissue when training it. When you rest, and have of course the proper nutrition, the muscle fibers start to repair. New muscle tissue is grown and bigger muscles arises from the effect.If you don't give it the chance to grow, then you will have a delay in muscle growth.

Answer 2

My friend,

That is a wonderful question you have asked. the main mistakes made when traininig for muscle growth as to what i can see on a regular basis are:

from the start:

1.) No proper warmup.
2.) directly picking up heavy weights.
3.) No proper attention to the main supportin gmuscles like abs, calves, thighs and back
4.) Over training.
5.) Bad food habits.
6.) Improper knowledge of calories.
7.) No proper training because of neglecting instructor's advice etc.

There are many more but i don't want to go into minute details. Hope this answer satisfies you.

Answer 3

Watching the other guys. Don't compare you to them. We are all different, some just look stronger bigger etc, when in reality, they aren't. You said diet, but specifically, not getting enough protein. The muscles struggle to gain without the protein, the building block. Bad form. This goes hand in hand with my opening statement. When you see the other guys lifting more, you are inclined to bump up your weight, to not look bad. Well, if the weight is too much, you tend to alter your form to get it up. Limited gain will result, and potential injury. And lastly, just doing the wrong exercises or doing them incorrectly. So much more can be gained from one set with proper form than several sets of bad form.

Answer 4

-Not consuming enough protein and water (you need at least 1 gram of protein for every pound you weigh each day, and you need a lot of water so your body can process the protein better).
-Not working out with heavy enough weights (you need heavy weight and low reps to stimulate muscle growth, if you can do it more than eight times, it's too light).
-Not giving your body enough time to repair before working out a particular muscle again (less is more when gaining).
-Not getting 8 hours of sleep at night and taking a multi-vitamin every day.
Oh, and stretching is important, but not as important and they are letting on.

Answer 5

malnutrition, overtraining, not stretching befpre they work out...o bunch of other htings. im a dancer, and i've taken nutrition coarses in school too. It's better for you to eat more of the healthy foods, and work out to your level, not someone alses. it's common for others to compete when working out, so they overworl their body and they think they're gaining muscle, but really they're tiring their body to the point it actually starts to gain more weight. and sometimes oyu just end up burning too much fat and you get unhealthy which leads to malnutrition.

Answer 6

Overtaining, trying to do too much at one time. You simply cannot rush these things, It takes time.

Answer 7

not stretching - before and after
