3 training MISTAKES you’re making if you’re not seeing results 👇🏼
There is nothing more frustrating that not seeing progress when you feel like you’re doing everything right.
Here’s three things that you might be doing in your workouts that could be making a HUGE difference:
✖️You’re doing your cardio BEFORE your workouts. Have you ever tried to hit a heavy weight sesh AFTER an hour on the elliptical? NO THANKS. When we’re trying to burn fat, we first need to deplete our glycogen storage to burn through the fat as energy. When we lift weights, we can burn through the glycogen storage FASTER, then moving onto the fat storage, and continue than burn through our cardio. If this sounds like you, keep your cardio limited to a 5 minute warm up pre-lift, and then crank it out post workout. Trust me, your lifts will thank you!
✖️You’re not training with progressive overload. PO is my love language for many reasons, but mainly because here, your focus is growing muscle. #winwin. Muscles respond to stimulus and grow bigger and stronger when training with resistance. To build muscle, we first have to break it down (que the weights) for it to build back stronger (here’s the 48-72hr recovery window for each body part). If this sounds like you, start tracking your sets and reps, making sure to keep upping weight + adding more reps each time you workout. Force yourself to get stronger!
✖️You’re doing the absolute MOST. resistance band, cable glute, pull up assist glute push down, ankle weight, isolated…..you lost me. IMO simple, heavy lifting can’t be beat. For any beginner or anyone who wants to build mad muscle, START WITH THE BASICS. Squat, deadlift, bench press, curls, rows, etc. SIMPLE bodybuilding movements are the holy grail for a reason. THEY PRODUCE RESULTS. (in addition to PO ;)) if this sounds like you, simplify what you’re doing. Start from the basics, perfect your form, add weight, reap the results.
There’s nothing worse than feeling frustrated, exhausted and stagnant. 🥵
I hope this helps any of you all out there see some serious changes come 2020! 🤙🏼
