In today's video I'm covering a variety of lifting mistakes related to exercise selection (some of the worst exercises in my opinion and some dangerous exercises as well), training technique and even gym etiquette that are quite common (especially for bodybuilding beginners) but that you should probably steer clear of. If I really sat down and took the time I could probably come up with 100 different gym mistakes that novice lifters (and even intermediates) make, but these are the first 20 workout mistakes that came to mind. Let me know in the comments which of these bodybuilding mistakes you think are the very worst, if you're guilty of any of these muscle building mistakes yourself or if there are any specific training mistakes you'd add to the list. There's so much fitness misinformation and so many bodybuilding myths floating around these days and hopefully this helps clear up at least a few things. Hope you find this list of lifting mistakes helpful.

Get what you saying but some machines I think should be left with weights.. like leg press- its fkin annoying to put every single p,ate on and off.. everyone will use at least 50kg so I think 2x25kg plates MUST stay! 15kg should stay on bench press, 15kg should stay at shoulder press.. if there are fkin kids in a gym they should go and use these machines without free weights..

Dude finally. I thought i was crazy. This guy just is venting about how much he hates dumb people in the gym. It’s rude. Not everyone cares. Half the exercises he just has no idea what hes saying. He’s a hypocrite. But i can’t judge. I dont know the man. I studied physiology. I trained with elite fts and with westside barbell. Bro is on a green screen saying everything real lifters already know. I’ve met guys like him. They try to give me advice. I was benching double what these guys were telling me. He does not say anything about benching incorrectly. All these kids can’t squat, deadlift, or do a clean and press. Thats all I did for months and I got huge

I'm a very skinny dyspraxic & autistic woman who has always been underweight & clumsy. I've been keeping up with a routine now for a year. Though I do it at home. Because of my autism I tend to get bullied, so I wouldn't dare to go to a gym or anywhere with a lot of people. I don't look much bigger than when I started, but a heck of a lot more toned, lift things easily that I would never have managed a year ago, have much better balance & core strength & feel so much better. Your videos have really helped me along the way. Thank you so much Sean

I've just joined a gym 3 months ago and was worried about the amount of people and in fear of what people would think the same as you. However, joining is the best thing i did, I can tell you first hand that it has helped with autism because genuinely everyone there is just doing the same thing as you. Everyone is supportive and nobody will bully you and everyone is always helpful and it does wonders for my confidence. I urge you to find a quiet gym and get out there and overcome the fear like I did, after a day or two it's just like doing it a home like you are except there is tons of morale support and friends to meet. Get out there girl.

I laughed at these and I can easily add another 20 because it never ceases to amaze me how through useless creativity so many guys waste their time at the gym, some creating injuries such as tennis elbow or back injuries due to an undisciplined method of performing exercises. I hate spotters and never used one because I always found spotters to be a distraction when I need my full concentration and because most spotters do not spot properly. They should never touch the bar but keep their hands just underneath and only assist when the presser needs it and not just when they pause because that pause is when that second wind kicks in.

OMG number 13! The other week at my gym it wasn’t that busy (maybe 5 or 6 people). I went to use the first machine that I normally use (it looked unattended) a young very done up girl came up to me and said “I’m using that in a super set.” I said “Oh ok cool.” I backed away and carefully surveyed the gym. Saw another unattended machine and went to use it. Same girl came over and said the same thing. I said “Well your towel is on one piece of equipment and you already told me you are supersetting with the lat pull down. How many different exercises are in your super set?”. Turns out it was about 8-10 different machines/pieces of equipment. I was a bit puzzled and so I pressed further. She then went on to inform me that she has a set circuit that she always does and her viewers expect her to keep it in order. I was actually dumbfounded. Then this old dog (one of those old guys that is very muscly, always there, very friendly and constantly offers advice) walked over and said to her “Fuck off. You can superset on 2 pieces at the most.” She got very upset. I proceeded to put my earbuds in and went about my workout.

Not a n00b myself & can attest to protecting those shoulders, especially as you age.

Went from flat bench with straight bar (heavy) to incline dumbells (also fairly heavy) and let my elbows flair way out...tore a rotator cuff. It still affects me.

I agree, "If you're capable of putting them on, you're strong enough to load 6-10 45lb plates on each side of a leg press, then you're strong enough to take them back off and rack them!"

But if you've got other goals (and if you've been a trainer for 20 years, I'm guessing you have had clients with other goals), than there are a lot of variations that you can use effectively towards those goals, including some in this list. I see this a lot, 'fitness experts' who really are only focused on one thing (usually getting big), and forget there's a whole other world of possibilities out there.

I always assumed everyone knew this, no need to be an egomaniac by any of both sides. Mirrors are there to look at yourself while training for proper form. And whenever someone wants to grab a dumbbell you move. Easy, simple, no ego bruises.

Hi Sean, I first came across your channel many many years ago, in the early days of KZfaq fitness. Your videos, along with Scooby's and Chris Jones' got me started lifting in the right path, which brought me to tremendous gains after years of consistent training and good diet. I still lift, albeit not as consistently as I used to due to work and other responsibilities that come along with growing up. But at least I still have most of the gains I worked so hard for. Anyways, I'm happy to see you still doing great in this niche, unlike many other fitness KZfaqrs of the same era. Thank you and I wish you all the best.

Thanks for this. I have made a few of these mistakes and will now modify and adapt. I'm a bit older now and have adjusted my work mistakes from experience as well, (ie not using full range of motion, using heavier weights and performing reps with poor form, poor posture, or using momentum to swing the weight, etc). All useless and harmful. I have adopted the philosophy of performing reps in the best form throughout the exercise and I am seeing more gains and less injury. Then I move up in weight when I have gained the strength to perform at the higher level without compromise. I subscribed to your channel. Thank you for the content and I look forward to learning more as I go.

I am fairly new to this stuff and it's pretty validating to hear you reaffirm things that I've experienced myself haha Like, I was all about dumbell kickbacks, those weighted aide bends, and a variety of weird Instagram workouts for a long time but eventually they just started feeling BAD. I stopped doing them because these movements were starting to cause me pain and I just wasn't effectively growing muscle.... but I would see other people at my gym doing these same workouts so it would leave me wondering if I made the right choice in stopping them altogether. I'm really glad to have found this video bc its immensely validating! Just because the majority does it, doesn't automatically make it right.

Completely agree with almost all of these. I also hit the gym regularly and try to be as educated on the subject as I can and I am familiar with most of these but I learned about some of them with this video. Good points on the gym etiquette as well. Just the one with the super-sets - I use super-sets in my training exactly for saving me time. But when it comes to share equipment with someone else I'll just wait for him to finish even if it is in the middle in the super-set between the two exercises.

I do super-sets too (huge time-saver and more exhausting than standing around flexing until you're ready for your next set). Another thing is that if someone's using one of the machines I'm on, I just continue through my sets, or onto the next and then work in the missed set on the next super-set rotation. The worst is those campers who throw their towel on a machine, and take 15-20 minutes doing their one exercise, with the majority of the time spent on FB/IG.

I really hate super setters. Why do they think their time is more valuable than mine. If you want to do supersets, go to the gym when there is no one else there, or put a gym in your garage. If I see a machine not being used, I get on it if it is open for more than 15 seconds. They can leave their crap around to try and "reserve" it, but I tell them if they don't like it, go see the gym manager.
