Fitness Blog # 5 : common mistakes in gym and diet plans that you MUST AVOID

Hey steemians..

Its your guy JBN with fitness blog # 5. its gonna be short, crisp but extremely important for people who are starting out in gym. These are some of the common mistakes people make either in gym or diet consumption. I wish someone could have told me these things in my early time because i learned these things the hard way and rose from the ashes to build myself up from ground zero (just adding dramatic effects 😁)

Some common diet and gym mistakes

I did two such mistakes myself and they left me with terrible consequences.

1. Not hitting all muscles groups. Many a times i get requests in gym regarding how to build only biceps or shoulders since they think thats all they need to get fit. This is seriously wrong. Not only this practice will deshape your body but also, hitting the same muscle everyday and not allowing it to rest and reconstruct will destroy i permanently. I destroyed my biceps when i trained them for 4 straight months without any gap when i was starting out. Nobody guided me. But i am here to guide you now.

2. Not training smaller muscles. You only know common names of muscle groups, namely chest, wings, back, biceps, triceps, shoulders, legs, calves and traps. Within each group lies 2 or more muscles that you should be hitting. Most people are oblivious to this fact and they end up training only 1 of the many smaller portions in a muscle group. I will discuss this in detail in my future fitness blogs when i will write one blog for each muscle group separately.

3. Repeating same exercises over and over again. Dont expose your bodies to same exercises day after day and week after week. Because after sometime, it will stop developing. You have to put your body under different set of exercises to get the max out of it. So change your routine after every 2-3 weeks to include new exercises.

4. Not eating a balanced diet. Never think that eating a lot of chicken or mutton will give you clean mass. No sir.. you will ruin your stomach. Likewise, going total vegetarian will not build you mass. Balance is the key.

5. Never use supplements until you are maxed out on natural diet. When I was starting out, i had a 31 inch chest and 9 inch biceps, which in simple terms is nothing. Without using any supplements, today my chest is 47 and biceps 16.5 inches. Yes it has taken sometime to reach here but the results are permanent and the strength i have is amazing. Supplements just act as catalysts to give you results quickly, but they dont last long. And you wont have any strength within you. For me, a chest of 50 inches with 17-17.5 biceps are more than enough. I am very close to my goal. But lets say if i want one of those 22 inch guns then yes i will use supplements but only when i am maxed out on my natural diet. This is not acceptable for any bodybuilder to use supplements while they can still grow on natural diet and this is absolutely criminal for beginners to use supplements straight away.

6. Not eating vegetables and fruits and not drinking a lot of water. Most builders or people trying to get fit miss this point. Including vegetables and fruits in your daily diet regime is a must have. And drinking alot of water is sort of a given. Drink at least 7-8 litres of water daily (more is better).
