Leave the ego at the door
If you can’t connect with the intended muscle, it’s too heavy
Without logging your lifts, how you feel & how you perform, you’ll have nothing to improve upon!
Use your logbook & aim to better your lifts each week
Don’t think that is only in weight moved
It could be same weight more reps, same weight & reps with much improved execution
Even regressing the weight to ensure the execution is spot on is progress!
Perhaps the most common mistake I see is overtraining & the belief that more is better
You will grow when you rest
So optimise your rest, recovery & growth
Another common mistake is not understanding when to really push & when not
If you’re trying to take every single set to failure, you’ll struggle massively to make any kind of progress!
