Everybody would like to have the perfect body. And the ones who read my first article already know I am here to help. After seeing quite a few people not using proper techniques in the gym when training with weights, I felt the need to point out the top 3 improvement delays in the gym.

I will also provide accompanying pointers and training tips for those who haven't seen much result yet after months or years of time spent in the gym, and who would like to see some of that result! It's time for some anti-improvement delay guidelines!



Delay #1: Lifting Weight The Pretty-Yoga-Girl Way


How It Works:

When you train with heavy weight, you are actually trying to damage the muscle (group) you are working on. After feeding them with enough protein during the day, they recover and they grow bigger than they were before, to protect you from the heavy weightlifting you just did. This is when you keep lifting heavier weights in time, so that your body gets shocked all over again and repeatedly gets triggered to grow.

What Needs To Improve:

Many times, however, I have seen people lifting very light weight, to take an example, while doing front laterals for the shoulders. They would slowly lift the weight up, and slowly bring it down, in about 10 seconds for the entire movement. And they would do a set of about 30 of those. This is a total waste of time.

There will barely be results from this light level of exercise. If you have been training for a while and haven't seen much result, this could be one of the reasons why.

How To Do It:

Use a weight heavy enough for you to have to work as hard as you can to lift it properly for the amount of repetitions you want to do. Let's say you're doing 15 repetitions. Then your weight must be heavy enough to do 15 reps in the first set, have difficulty doing 15 reps in the second set and barely make it to do another 15 reps in the third set.

Then you try to increase the weight. For your last set (3 or 4 sets per exercise) you're using a heavier weight, with which you cannot do 15 reps and have to do a few less repetitions, or use a lower weight to squeeze a few more repetitions out. You focus on really squeezing the muscle going up, and holding back the weight going down.
