enjoys the odd fag Member 563, 1029 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 230 565.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Mainly for all the experienced guys, what are the biggest mistakes you have made in your training which have halted your progress, led to an injury or made you go backwards? Overtrained and worn out, ego lifts gone wrong, lifting without spotters, you know, the kinds of mistakes you would strongly advise less experienced trainees against, and the kinds of things which may be common mistakes people make, cheers.

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17886 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300 827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq	Trying to do it alone. Not seeking out the advice and assistance of those who know

Still mostly bodybuilding Member 501, 10465 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250 620.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq	Fatpete said: Trying to do it alone. Not seeking out the advice and assistance of those who know Amen to that - i wouldnt class myself as an experience lifter in the sense that ive only been lifting properly for around 6 months but its amazing how you think your squatting, benching, deadlifting etc properly until someone shows you how it should be done.

a PB is a PB ! Member 539, 1086 posts	I'm the same as pete. Trying to go it alone was my biggest mistake. Got injured a few times with pulled muscles and lack of knowledge. Now I swallow up vast amounts of esoteric knowledge from books, people and forums

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts	goodwinm said: Now I swallow up vast amounts of esoteric knowledge from books, people and forums Carefull here mate. Not everything thats written down is correct, and the majority of "knowledgable trainers" on forums are pretty clueless. If you want to be good at something the only knowledge worth a wank is from someone who can do/ has done it already. Carry on learning from books and you'll end up saying the wrong thing and getting eaten off Andy Bolton.

I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290 665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	Not using basic power / strength lifts but pissing about with cables and dumbells etc far too much.

JEDWARD Member 454, 980 posts SQ 225, BP 170, DL 275 670.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq	Apart from that previously stated for me I'd say not doing any core work! Has made such a difference for me.

better at shagging than his big brother Member 392, 162 posts SQ 325, BP 170, DL 275 770.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq	Training too basic!! Only doing core compound exercises and not spending enough time with assitance exercises (the opposite of most!!). Training too heavy for too long without deloading or resting enough.

When I have enough cash, I get a deep tissue. Member 465, 11029 posts SQ 240, BP 175, DL 302.5 717.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq	The biggest mistakes i made were not knowing enough about nutrition. Once this was sorted my training went through the roof and still is!

If this is a "training mistake" I'm making it (apart from the bit about resting enough)!!

knock knock !! who's there ?? OLD SCHOOL SUGDEN Member 212, 11439 posts SQ 325, BP 212.5, DL 370 907.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	little_a said: Carefull here mate.

True there are some pretty clueless text book coaches knocking about and even making a fooooking fortune training people ... often people enjoy to baffle new lifters with fancy words and microcycles but actually the art of lifting weights isn`t actually as complicated as some people would like other people to beleive ..

The one in the guns and roses teeshirt. Member 171, 2462 posts SQ 272.5, BP 140, DL 245 657.5 kgs @ 80.2kgs Eq	Every time I listen to advice from Smallsy is a mistake. Other than that, not listening to advice from people who are actually in the know.
