THE BATTLEGROUND
If your strength gains are stalling, your body fat isn’t dropping, or you feel constantly sore and exhausted, chances are you’re making these 5 common fitness mistakes.
The good news? They’re all fixable.
Here’s how to correct course and start making real progress:
1. Poor Form:
Strength comes from controlled, efficient movement, not just lifting heavier. Master your form first.
2. Inconsistency:
Sticking to a structured plan will always beat training randomly or only when you’re motivated.
3. Ignoring Recovery:
Your body grows when you rest. Prioritize sleep, mobility, and stretching.
4. Not Eating Enough Protein:
Fuel your body with high-quality protein throughout the day to repair and build muscle.
5. Chasing the Wrong Metrics:
Strength isn’t just about lifting heavier. Look at endurance, recovery, and overall athletic ability.
Fixing these mistakes will lead to faster strength gains, better muscle definition, and more energy. You’ll recover better, feel less sore, and reduce your risk of injury.
