In today's episode we give you ten things we wish we knew before we started lifting so you can avoid these same mistakes.

Listed points:

1- Start with the right stuff first

  • Start with weights before cardio. You’ll be too tired to lift at your full potential if you tire yourself out with intense cardio
  • Avoid coming in and just pumping it up.
  • Leg day? Start with heavy squats once you’re warmed up.

2- Lift with purpose and intensity

3- It never hurts to ask

  • Majority of people are always willing to help if you’re unsure of how at attachment works, a machine, don’t hesitate to ask.
  • Same with any gym staff- ask for any help you need

4- Aim to go at a consistent time

  • Your body becomes adapted to the routine & it becomes habit, which makes you never want to skip or not go at your routine time.
  • You’ll also see the same people, which makes you feel more comfortable

5- Hire us

  • We can save you tons of time, money and energy in the long run
  • DM 'REAL RESULTS” for more info

6- Don’t be afraid to fail, and learn how to fail

  • This will help you a ton with confidence and safety.

7 - Place a 10lb plate underneath your weights when adding plates for deadlifts

8- Realize people aren’t judging you

  • Majority of the time, people are ultra focused on themselves, and how they look, instead of judging you.

9- Take it slow and start with less weight and work up.

  • Focus on the quality of each movement instead of jerking it up and ego lifting.

9.5 Don’t be scared to push yourself and change weight throughout

10- Watch our form videos before going to the gym

  • It will give you more confidence knowing you roughly know how the exercise should look.
  • Plus you won’t waste tone of trying to figure it all out in the gym
