#76 - The Biggest Gym Mistakes I Made in 19 Years of Lifting

from The Better With Brock Podcast · host Brock Ashby

Think you know how to train as a beginner? I got almost everything wrong for years and it slowed me down more than it should have. I've been lifting for 19 years and coaching for 10, and looking back at how I started, I made mistakes that are way too common, especially for anyone in their first 5 years of training. In this video I break down exactly where I went wrong and what actually worked, so you don't have to learn it the hard way. In this video I cover: Why under-eating almost derailed my results (and my health) The good food vs bad food mindset that made everything worse Why sleep matters more than most beginners think How poor technique early on cost me down the line What I actually did right, from training with structure to finding a real reason to train This is the advice I wish I could give the 14 year old version of myself. So, if you have been training for five years or less, watch this before you waste the next decade learning everything the hard way. If this podcast helps you avoid even one of these mistakes, subscribe to the channel and let me know what has stopped you early in your training journey.
