Going to the gym is certainly important and apparently a good start, but you will not observe a difference unless you make it a permanent habit. I know how hard and impossible it may sound especially for those who have a full dry day already but you won’t succeed unless you go to gym for at least three days a week and when you become used to this habit, you will start noticing that missing gym was never a good idea rather you will consider it irritating and insurmountable menace.
According to experts, attending gym for three to four days a week is mandatory and usually it takes 21 days to create a habit. According to Barbara Bolotte, BPI athlete, she says that it should take a person twenty one days of consistent work at the gym that it will bother him to miss a workout.
So, be consistent to your goals and grind consistently!
2- Control your lifts
Beginners tend to copy others which apparently are not a wrong deed but following those who are already not doing it right might be cumbersome. Most often, bad forms come from lifting heavy, as a result people turn to momentum rather than muscle contraction to move the weight.
James Garage, the founder of BPI sports state that lifting needs to be controlled. The goal is to isolate muscles and get them worked through various angles, exercises and techniques.
3- Do compound movements
People could be easily distracted by following the studies of magazines and journals. Beginners start doing complex exercises which result in bad form of both lifting and shape. They should rather follow compound exercises like Bench-press, Squats, deadlifts etc. because doing them would help you lifting more weights and increasing your metabolism rate.
