These are the 9 worst workout mistakes that you can make before going to the gym. Avoid these mistakes and have a better workout, more energy, and fewer problems. The gym mistakes discussed in this video are especially common amongst beginners so make sure to fix these. It's true that there are many things you can do to IMPROVE the quality of your workouts, but most people don't realize that there are also things that you should never do especially before your workout. These can range from small little mistakes that make you feel a little weakeror lower your rep count to much bigger mistakes that completely ruin your workout. So if you want to see optimal results from your workout whether you're trying to build muscle or burn fat, you'll definitely benefit from this video because I'll be going over the 5 main things that you should definitely avoid doing before hitting the gym. and the very first one is to never eat a big meal too close before your workout. Now there are a couple reasons why this is a bad idea. First of all when you eat and you start digesting the food your body will naturally direct blood flow to your digestive organs. On the other hand when you workout your body will naturally direct blood flow to your extremities, specifically to the muscles that you're working. This puts digestion and exercise at competing odds. so essentially both are fighting for more blood flow and neither gets the amount of blood flow necessary for either optimal digestion or optimal performance. So while the food sits in your stomach you can easily wind up feeling bloated, heavy, and nauseous and you can potentially even throw up. But even if you don't full out vomit it will take away fromyour ability to perform at your best. Another reason why you should avoid eating a ton directly before your workout is that digestion itself requires a lot of energy. That's why after a big meal at a buffet or at a thanksgiving gets together, you feel like all you want to do is go to sleep. So you definitely don't want to feel lethargic and tired before or during your workout. Now unfortunately not everyone digests food at the same rate so there's no one size fits all answer, some people will need more time to fully digest their food but in general, as long as you finish eating about 2 to 3 hours before your workoutyou should be okay. Just keep in mind that mealsthat are high in fat or just contain a really large amount of food will take longer to digest, so plan accordingly. Another mistake revolving around taking in excess is drinking too much coffee or pre-workout before you start working out. Caffeine is a very common and helpful supplement to take before your workout. There's no doubt that it can help give you more energy, lift more weight, and boost motivation as well as focus. That's why caffeine is the main ingredient in pretty much any pre-workout supplement on the market. The problem is that taking in too much caffeine can lead to more contractions in your colon and induce more bile production which will increase bowel movements. This is why caffeine is known as a natural laxative. So you definitely don't want to have too much coffee or pre-workout or else you'll find yourself sitting on the toilet in between your sets. On top of that, having an upset stomach or feeling more urgency to use the bathroom will be just the beginning of your problems. That's because If you have too much caffeine before your workout it can create a whole slew of side effects that can legitimately ruin your day. Some of these side-effects include restlessness, insomnia, rapid or abnormal heartbeat, anxiety, heartburn, and increased blood pressure. And just one of these side effects like heartburn for example is already enough to significantly decrease your performance. So don't go having cup after cup of coffee before your workout and if you're taking a pre-workout supplement make sure you're taking the recommended dosage on the back of the bottle. The next big mistake that I see so many people getting wrong is stretching before lifting weights. And not all forms of stretching are bad before a workout, but most people will engage in static stretching and that's something that you don't want to do until after you're done working out. Now for those of you that don't know static stretches are done by stretching or elongating a muscle and holding it in that stretched position for a given amount of time, usually 20 to 30 seconds. An example of this for the hamstrings would be the sit and reach. Dynamic stretching on the other hand is an active form of stretching where you move back and forth through a full range of motion rather than just holding one position. An example of this for the hamstrings would be a stretching drill known as Frankensteins. While dynamic stretches like Frankensteins help prepare your body and your muscles for

I stopped doing cardio before my workouts long ago. My energy levels let me focus on lifting but the problem is that after lifting weights I am rarely motivated to do cardio.

Yeah some I learned the hard way and some are kind of obvious. The last part especially since I'm a slow starter so for me it'd be disastrous.

Get a combination of the protein and carbs in your body 1 to 4 hours pre-workout and within approximately 60 minutes post-workout.
