Looking back at my early workouts I feel like I was making so many unnecessary mistakes without even realizing it 💀 I used to rush through exercises and constantly change my routine because I thought something wasn't working. Ngl learning the basics has made training feel much less confusing. What mistakes do you think beginners should avoid when starting out?

Not getting enough sleep and expecting crazy progress is definitely something beginners should avoid

Honestly focusing too much on the scale instead of strength and consistency can be discouraging

Rushing through reps just to finish the workout is another one I’ve definitely been guilty of

People forget that recovery matters too and try to train hard every single day

I’d say comparing yourself to experienced lifters is probably the biggest beginner trap 😭
