Why Haven't I Made Progress After So Long of Training?
On the path to fitness, have you ever wondered why you're not making progress, what you're doing wrong? There are many counterproductive fitness habits in the fitness process. In this article, we will tell you five fitness mistakes to avoid, so that you can achieve your goals and progress as quickly as possible.
1Spending too much time doing the same exercise. If you want to progress, you must make changes, increase the intensity. Increasing training intensity does not mean increasing more repetitions. We can increase the difficulty by changing the training actions, for example, you can use triceps push-ups instead of ordinary push-ups, or you can use assisted pull-ups instead of ordinary pull-ups. In this way, you can improve your training level and achieve your goals.
2The second mistake is too long or too short rest time. If your rest time is too long or too short, it will make your fitness plan stagnant, and worse, it will make you regress. Simply put, if you take too long to rest between two sets, you won't make progress because the stimulation generated by the training is too small. If your rest time is too short, you won't make progress because your body may not have recovered, overtraining not only will make you stagnant, but it may also make you injured.
3The third mistake is to make a wrong plan. A good workout is made up of a good plan. Mixing strength training, endurance training, and skill training will not make you progress. Before exercising, you should carefully make a training plan. By constantly thinking about the training plan and testing different methods, you will learn how to design a comprehensive plan.
4The fourth mistake is that your goals and training conflict. If your training structure is correct but does not meet your goals, it will not make your workout progress. For example, if you want to practice barbell hip thrusts, doing more push-ups will not make you learn barbell hip thrusts (because there are many advanced bodyweight exercises). If you want to achieve a specific goal, you must make the plan consistent with the goal. Of course, you can achieve multiple goals at the same time, but the more goals you set, the smaller each goal's progress will be. Some goals are suitable for placing in a plan, but some are not.
5The fifth mistake is to use the wrong way to do the movements, don't give up quality for the sake of completing the number. This will not make you progress. If you can lift a larger weight or more repetitions and feel good about yourself, it will not help you progress in the long run. Doing exercises incorrectly will not make your training achieve the expected effect, which will make you injured, waste your time, and make you no progress.
If you want your training to make progress, you can refer to the above points. Be honest with yourself, don't deceive yourself. If you find mistakes, correct them promptly. Remember, the worst thing is not to make mistakes, but to not correct the mistakes and not learn from them.
