5 Common Mistakes ...to Avoid When Writing Your Own Workout Programme.

MISTAKE 1

Pairing exercises that are too grip intensive

Doing supersets with exercises that require hard gripping, such as lunges and stepups, will limit the amount of work you’ll be able to perform in a given set. Since the flexor muscles of the hand and forearm are much smaller and weaker than those of the legs, your grip will always give out before your legs do.

Correction: Try to pair exercises that aren’t limited by smaller muscle groups, like the bench press and row.

MISTAKE 2

Training only your strengths

You may tend to train only the lift you are strong at, but that actually limits your potential gains. By neglecting your weak points, you set yourself up for injury due to muscle imbalances.
