Bodybuilding for Beginners: 6 Common Mistakes to Avoid


It’s still common to see beginners confuse haste with speed.

Every day there is a chance for a person to start another cycle. Action that immediately makes you dream of millions of projects, examples: finding a new job, the house of your dreams, another spouse and the possibility of combining a healthy diet with bodybuilding training, which, in parallel, attracts six errors especially for those who are beginners.




Little by little, physical exercise becomes stronger in Brazil. The Ministry of Health carried out the survey. Estimates on the frequency and socio-demographic distribution of the practice of physical activity in the capitals of the 26 Brazilian states and the Federal District, between 2009 and 2020, the percentage grew from 30.3%, in 2009, to 36.8% in 2020. This survey was published in the first half of 2022.

However, another detail that goes against this statistic is the frequency of adults who practice insufficient physical activity. This scenario remained stable between 2013 and 2020, i.e. it varied by 49.3% in 2013, in 2020 it went to 47.2%.

What also interferes with the creation of this new habit is the “lack of respect” for the process, that is, skipping steps and not understanding that everything happens at the right times. It’s easy to admire someone with impeccable physical condition, but the difficult thing is to accept this job for the long term.

Are you new to bodybuilding and want to eliminate six common mistakes? Therefore, take a look at the list below, which will help you focus on future achievements.

Six common bodybuilding beginner mistakes

1 – Confusion

Beginners think that the more they train, the more results they will achieve, as seen in the examples of football, basketball, tennis, volleyball and wrestling. This concept does not fit bodybuilding. “Split” training gives the necessary frequency and creates the necessary regularity.

2 – Difficult start

All it takes is starting with one load of training for there to be several complaints from a student. The initial process is important and without this method the chances of injury and unsatisfactory results increase.

3 – Aerobics

Ignoring aerobics is even more common among those who do not want to lose fat, but insulin sensitivity improves, as does increased muscle mass. Insulin is the most anabolic hormone in the body. Don’t forget testosterone, thyroid hormones and insulin.

4 – Supplements

Especially for those who live with anxiety, there is excessive consumption of supplements without the slightest evaluation. Diet is essential before taking any supplement.

5 – Precaution

Anabolic steroids do not mean agile evolution. It is not easy and, as mentioned above, it is worth getting your bearings before any consumption.

6 – Fake news

Be careful when listening to someone. Even more dedicated alert for those who are just starting out and don’t maintain a “filter” to absorb the information. Consult a specialist to tackle bodybuilding.
