Did you know that there are 12 gym exercises that you might be doing wrong? In this video, I am going to show you 6 gym exercises and 6 home exercises, the common mistakes that are made, and how to avoid them so you never do these wrong again or make any exercise mistakes when trying to build muscle. It is important to note why these specific exercises are often performed wrong it comes down to two simple reasons. First, we may have learned to do the exercise the wrong way in the first place and just never learned how to do it the right way. Second, it s something we might revert to as we become fatigued during the workout and allow our bodies to create compensations that result in exercise mistakes. The first home exercise mistake comes with the glute bridge. When trying to reach fill hip extension, it s easy to see that most people are putting themselves into anterior pelvic tilt throughout the movement. This shifts the load of the exercise from the glutes to the low back, which can create problems if done consistently. To avoid this common exercise mistake, make sure your pelvis is in a posterior tilt when performing the glute bridge. A big gym exercise mistake that people make when performing the barbell squat is not allowing the pelvis and the chest to move through space at the same time. When squatting heavy weight or in a fatigued state, it is easy to allow the hips to rise before the chest, turning the squat into something that looks like a good morning. To avoid this gym mistake, make sure that the chest and pelvis are moving together through the entire exercise. The bench dip is one of the most commonly performed home exercises that I see get screwed up the most. As I ve shown on Live With Kelly & Ryan, hand placement is everything. Avoid internal rotation of the shoulder and potential injury by simply turning your hands out. Making this exercise mistake could just help save your shoulders in the long run. The 1-arm row is a gym exercise that I see done wrong quite often and there are two fixes for that. The first exercise fix is to get your knee off the bench and have both feet planted on the ground to avoid inguinal hernia risk. The next form fix for this exercise is to stop hammer curling the dumbbell. Make sure to row the elbow back behind the body to get the most activation out of the lats. The pullup has a subtle workout mistake built in and that s not plugging the energy leaks. Stop crossing your legs behind you and get them out in front and keep them rigid throughout the exercise. This will help to keep stability in the body and will allow you to actually perform more pull-ups if done correctly and help you to build more muscle in the process. One of the more common exercise mistakes, especially when it comes to building big triceps, is performing the wrong exercise entirely. Instead of doing the traditional skull crusher, I instead want you to do a lying triceps extension. Get the bar back behind your head when laying on a bench in order to increase the stretch on the long head of the triceps. The kettlebell swing has a workout mistake that is easily fixed but you have to know what that mistake is first. Often, you forget that you are not lifting the kettlebell, but simply letting it go along for the ride. Your focus should be on hinging at the hips and powering through extension to move the weight to avoid the front delts doing the work. Are you bouncing on your calf raises? Stop. This gym exercise mistake is fixed by slowing down your tempo and focusing on increasing the time under tension in both the stretched and contracted positions. Hold these positions for 4 seconds each and see your calves grow with new potential that you didn t know you had. The pushup is a home exercise that has a mistake that s built in to help the body compensate for a lack of strength. Flaring the elbows out to 90 will decrease the range of motion of the exercise, but this mistake will cost you both potential muscle growth as well the possibility of shoulder injury / discomfort. With this excessive internal rotation, you are setting yourself up for failure. Get those arms to a 45-60 angle instead and fix this exercise mistake once and for all. The dumbbell curl s mistake is pretty obvious, but still common. The lack of supination is the problem here. With one of the primary functions of the biceps being to supinate the forearm, forgetting to turn those palms up and out is a big exercise mistake. To build the biggest biceps possible, you won t want to make this mistake, so pay attention to your form and be sure you re getting it right every time you do it. Find this video helpful?

Glute bridge is actually one of the most difficult exercises I've done. Most of us have some level of pelvic tilt in some direction. I couldn't even notice I had plenty of anterior pelvic tilt for the longest time and I still don't notice it until I get to the neutral position purposely. Which made things that required hamstring stretching quite difficult. Also made it difficult to feel glutes. My bridge would always have that slightly open hinge angle without me even knowing. The method that really made me feel glutes and get the bridge straight was the one where you lie next to a wall so you can put your hands above your head and push against them, pulling your legs closer against the ground to get hamstrings working and then push the pelvis up and have the glutes fire up like crazy. On that note, whenever I think of bringing the pelvis neutral by tucking it, I notice how drastically different that position is to my relaxed position and how much pull there is in neutral.
On bicep curls, why not also push the arms slightly up, isn't bicep also slightly elevating the arms in relation to shoulder? I found that bracing properly during the squat eliminated all willingness to good morning squat with sub maximal weight. You have something rigid to push the bar with all the way from your legs and your chest won't deflate and collapse when you push from the legs. And of course keeping the elbows back and not letting them drift forward letting the back relax and round.
The tricep pullover is my favourite way to invite shoulder discomfort and direct the focus out of triceps. Which skull crushers to chest don't do, but they provide an amazing pump to triceps though, especially when slightly angled towards the head at the top. Not saying the pullover isn't a good exercise, but for me it's awful and rarely leads to feeling like I fatigued the triceps to the best of my ability.

You proposed a lot of wrist twists as the correct way, but what about when I have Ulnar-sided wrist pain? Currently my wrists hurt by doing almost anything with my wrists (except probably pull exercises. How do I fight this pain? I am lifting minimum of 8 reps - is that too much for my weak wrists? Should I lift light weights for 2 years and try to strengthen my wrists with wrist exercises for 2 years and then start lifting heavy again? Is this how it works? Sorry for the many questions, I just have this issue my whole life - it comes and goes randomly, I'm tired of it.

I ve been focusing on supination in all my cable/dumbbell/bar bicep exercises and to great effect (got some shirt sleeves struggling); but sometimes I get some pretty intense elbow tightness when focusing on supinating my bicep exercises. Anyone got any thoughts on how to correct that or what I might be doing to cause it?
It usually happens when I go up in weight on a lift or with the more set hand positions of bar curls. Thanks for any insight!
reply

Alright, but as someone who gives 0 shits about my bicep size, how does this full supination affect elbow stability? I've found I frequently wind up with medial elbow irritation when I do heavy curls using either a barbell or fully supinated grip with dumbbells. Am I really missing out on much functional strength by maintaining slight pronation or is this a tip meant exclusively for meatheads sorry I mean people training for aesthetics?
reply

When you brought up the pull up I was really hoping you would talk about people poking their chin over the bar because if you actually watch the position of the rest of their body when they do that, they actually don't get any higher, they are just cheating by getting the illusion of the chin of the bar instead of learning how to pull to their clavicle or sternum

Gotta respect the hole in the sweatpants' knee. People give me crap for working out with holed clothes and my answer is the workout isn't a walk down the runway. If the clothes still do their job, there is no need to throw them out and get new ones.

Ive been commenting for about a year now. Made amazing gains, but I dont know what the future is after a heart attack. Nobody can tell me concretely, or rather, Ive heart horrors of never being able to work out again. Its very demoralizing
reply

Thanks Jeff. I've been following your PPL, and omg I've become lean, muscular, and athletic NO BS. I've got girls and guys looking then following what I'm doing. Keep it coming please
reply

I've been doing glute bridges incorrectly - I just tried them with the pelvis tilted properly and my left hamstring started cramping up! Need to work on those, clearly.
reply

What if I can t keep my legs in front of me properly when performing a pull up and I feel way more secure when having my legs crossed? Does this mean my core is too weak?
reply

Sea saw? You told us to do that with the farmers carry. Do we do it or no? Same as the facepull, one video says hands first, the other says start lead with your elbows
reply

Please give us a way to plug energy leaks when doing pull-ups using door frame pull-up bars. I can't straighten my legs in front of me without touching the floor.
reply

Please do more of these correct form videos. They are really helpful for beginners. Would appreciate if the next one incorporates more gym and machine exercises
reply

I finally see a video within the first hour, but there is no giveaway.
Just kidding, great video. Jeff has forgotten more about fitness than most ever know
reply

My dang tricep muscle snaps over my elbow and causes pain so about half of these I can't do. If I go full 90 bend it snaps so I have to stop just short.
reply

. thus speaks lord facepulls, in the gym don't train wrong, don't be strong being weak, don't be weak being strong, with your feet, smash that song.
reply

Can you do a video on How to train if you have varicose veins?
Who else wants to know that, please like this comment, so that Jeff could see this )
reply

Great content as usual, however lately your videos are being infected by background music that is irritating and intrusive. Please pare it back.
reply

Please comment on curl supination leading to ulnar wrist pain or golfer s elbow pain. Also, the pros and cons of the EZ curl bar.
Thanks!
