5 Worst Muscle Building Mistakes You can avoid it if you read this earlier - BKP 2019

Updated: Feb 22, 2019




You might have been working out for years, or you go to the gym for a couple of months and implement a strict diet yet you still ain't seeing the workout results. What is wrong?


Whether you are a newbie or an intermediate, there are five common mistakes may hinder your fitness outcomes.


1. Do a fixed training intensity

When you are used to 6-12 repetitions in each training, the muscles will gradually get used to your exercise intensity, and the indirect effect will be limited. Therefore, it is recommended to either increase the intensity of the training amount to 20 reps, or increase the strength of the overall of your training like lift 10% resistance of each.


2. Only do the same training

Like mistake number one, if we keep on with the same posture of one exercise, we'll maintain the current gains in fitness, but further gains will diminish and we'll eventually reach a plateau. These adaptive responses are called the "training effect", same as "Law of diminishing return".




When you are over-reliant on the same equipment training, the muscles will get used to remembering the movements. In fact, the muscles love to learn different movements. Therefore, it is recommended to use different posture by different equipment to boost the fitness results when training the muscles in the same part of the body. You can slightly change from barbell bench press to dumbbell bench press for example.


3. Only single joint exercise



Many people love using single joint exercise ( bicep curl, leg curl, etc) to train their muscles. Single joint exercise (isolation exercises) makes good tension while training the target muscle and it's easier especially for a newbie to controlling one instead of multiple in the same time.


However, we highly recommend adding multi-joint training (such as deadlift, squat) to your workout plan if it's a lifetime goal. The multi-joint exercises can better effect overall of your body and a significant strength gain. By working more than one muscle group, you burn substantially more calories than doing any other single-joint exercise.




4. Just quit too easily before your muscle failure

You should do exactly enough to allow you to fall within the optimal volume range for each muscle group. However there are some people you can see in the gym, they calmly do 1 or 2 sets of each exercise and easily skip to the next one before their muscle failure.

it's sort of like doing it for completing a routine plan but not a real exercise. Believe me, that doesn't help anything.


5. Too much cardio exercise

I'm not saying Cardio is bad but it can kill your effort if your goal is muscle building. It all depends on your ultimate goal of exercise and which body type you want to be. A Marathoner or a Bodybuilder?? The answer is much clear now.


When you perform cardio exercises like jogging, rowing or cycling, your body is using these proteins and carbohydrates to help make sure your energy is maintained during a cardio workout and recovery. So, try to distribute a better time ratio for the cardio/heavy-weight training like 20/80 or 30/70, that'll be a better balance for your body.



which one you want to be

Through above 2 pictures, no need to tell you but you can easily understand how a different training method will affect the outcome of body shape.



Last but not least, correct eating for your muscle building is as much important as doing correct training. Building Muscle is never a few days work but the result is definitely predictable as long as you keep it routine and follow the right path.


Now, go get a Killer body shape and live with more confidence in a whole new life!!
