Four Common Mistakes in the Gym
1) Overuse of Weight Belts
Here is a rule of thumb, don’t use a weight belt until you have a reason to do so.
A weight belt doesn’t have any magical powers, it is not a fashion statement and if you aren’t lifting more than your bodyweight and you are using good form then, don’t bother with a weight belt. People walk around the gym like they just pinned Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania and they are pimping the Championship Belt. I have seen people do sit ups with a weight belt on, YES, you read that right, SIT UPS!!! If your back is so fragile that not wearing a weight belt will result in paralysis or an inability to stand then, you probably shouldn’t be exercising with weights in the first place.
"I need the belt back Hulk, I have a crazy set of sit-ups to do."
2) TOO Much CORE work
Don’t spend so much time doing ab work.
