What mistakes are made when training at the gym?

¿Qué errores se cometen a la hora de entrenar en el gimnasio?

Too many people train hard and yet don't get the results they want, or at least not the results they should be getting after all that daily hard work. Some blame it on genetics, others on bad luck, and still others simply don't care.

In this article we will try to shed some light on this for all of you so that you can feel as that effort deserves.

Always training at the same pace : this is undoubtedly one of the biggest mistakes made in all types of training, since the body needs little time to adapt to the pace and intensity of workouts, and therefore they cease to be effective and the body stagnates. It's necessary to introduce diverse stimuli, whether it's a different distance or pace if you go running, or different exercises or variations in strength and bodybuilding training.

Try to make up for the training we missed: If you ever miss a training session for any reason, the worst thing you can do is try to do double sessions to make up for that loss.

We'll end up doing more exercise than we should, and on top of that, we'll train worse because we'll be doing it wrong. So if you miss a workout, skip it and focus on the next one, doing it right and at maximum intensity.

Not worrying about food: And this is one of the most important keys to training, since in the end, good or bad nutrition accounts for about 60 or 70% of the result you see in the mirror.

A varied diet And a specific program dedicated to maximizing energy during training and post-training nutrition will make your workouts much more effective and productive for you.

Training little but with high intensity : while this seems logical and necessary to achieve the goals, it is nothing more than something that is counterproductive to training.

There's no point in training with high intensity for 2 or 3 days a week if you're then going to be one or two weeks without training, because that's the most effective way to not achieve your goals and objectives.

The training should be intense (but not excessive) at the same time as consistent, working week after week and without trying to achieve your goals through shortcuts because in the end this will cause a rebound effect.

Training to muscle failure: This may be one of the most controversial points when we talk about training, since there are many proponents and opponents of muscle training to failure.

What we're talking about here is muscle failure training, which goes until the muscle can't take any more and you have to stop. But that's useless if before reaching that point you do two or three repetitions with bad technique, because this way you get too tired and those repetitions with bad technique not only don't help, but can also cause a pretty serious injury.

And with that, we've reached the end of this article. Stay tuned for more! blog for more advice related to the world of fitness.
