Mistake: Ignoring the
basic principles
Everybody wants to look like
Arnold. Everybody wants to look like Bruce Lee. Oh, is that just me?
Didn't think so.
So while we're all so eager
to add more weight, increase our reps, and bulk up to incredible
sizes, we sometimes forget to stop and think about the fundamental
principles of bodybuilding.
A common beginner
bodybuilding mistake that I often see is guys trying to add more and
more weight without mastering the form and technique. I wrote another
post on form and performance a few weeks ago, and basically what I'm
saying is that your form dictates your level of performance.
Don't believe me? Go do the
bench press for 20 days and just throw it up as hard as you can each
rep and let the bar rest on your flat palms.
I'm kidding, don't do that.
It's dangerous and could really get you hurt. The point is, your form
is extremely important. That's a gross exaggeration of how it will
be, but the fundamental principle is no different.
I pewrsonally recommend
starting with less weight at the beginning to learn how the exercises
work. That lets you focus on form over whether or not you can
actually do the damn exercise. After that, build your workout plans
from the bottom up.
