Six Things to Avoid in the Gym

Saturday, October 16, 2010
Here I give you a small list of 6 things you should avoid in the gym in order to achieve better results and in the same time enjoy the time you are spending, trying to build muscles.
1) Do not let a bad day at work, or anything else, influence your will to go to the gym and have yourself a decent workout, clear your mind and focus in your training.
2) Do not go to the gym, if you are having a headache, hangover or feeling weak. Any attempt to work out will probably make you worse. Missing a training day is not a disaster.
3) Always use a towel in the gym. People I know experienced skin infections, caused by a sweaty machine.
4) Never forget to drink water or any other iso fluids, even if you are not feeling thirsty.
Muscle cells consist about 70% of water, so it really is vital for our organism to keep it supplied with fluids.
5) If you have a gym partner, focus on your training routine and do not let yourself getting involved in long term conversations. Choose your gym partner wisely, depending on how concentrated he/she is on what you are both doing. 40 sec should be the top resting period between sets, if you want to keep those muscles pumped with blood.
6) Do not just count when you are exercising, aiming to get over with the set. If your strength training routine is advanced, try to bring your muscles to their limit by performing an extra press or curl, just when you are about to give up.
Keep working those muscles. I will be soon coming back with more tips.
