Weightlifting mistakes of teens

By: Sean Kendorski

Many young people learn no matter how hard they train and how well they eat, they can't seem to gain muscle. When this is your way of life, rather than a hobby, you will have a better idea about your body. You will be tune and will know what works best for you.
Until then I have listed 5 common mistakes that teens make and how to avoid them. At least you can better determine if you are committed enough to stick with what it will take to build serious muscle. You will also learn very valuable information to get the most out of your training efforts.
1. Poor diet structure.
The biggest mistake made by all young people who workout. They find a routine online, order a bodybuilding supplement online, and go begin their program. As time goes on, and the quick results become fewer and further between, they realize they aren't getting any bigger and give up. I am not suggesting you need to be a nutritionist, but understanding food is important. I would suggest some research. You need to understand which foods are healthy and why. Learn about how what food is made off and how it is prepared and you'll see very quickly how you and why you need to maintain a healthy diet.
Keep in mind that working out is the tearing apart the muscle tissue, you need the proper vitamins and nutrients to repair the damaged area quickly and effectively.
2. Sleep
Sleep is as important as diet, but typically teens sleep more than they eat right. When you sleep, your cells repair themselves and important hormones like HGH and Testosterone are released and aid in the muscle growing process. 8 hours a night, every night. I realize it's harder for active teens to always sleep properly. School, sports, friends, work, are a lot to handle, but sleep is necessary and will make all those factors easier to juggle.
3. Poor training structure.
Do you know what muscles you are working on what days and why? Many teens come into the gym and rip through chest and arms. Maybe a couple back and shoulder sets. Again I would suggest research. Check into which muscles to work together and what to alternate so you can continue working out as often as you'd like while not overworking the muscles. Too much exercise without rest will be worse than no exercise at all. But balance is the key. You must work all muscles equally. Obviously no one is walking into the gym hi-fiving their friends because it's "leg day," but every time you work one muscle, you need to work the rest. Unbalanced training will limit your muscle gain and more likely cause injury. It can also cause you to look ridiculous and, let's face it, you're doing this to look good.
Cardio is neglected all too often also. You need to warm up and cool down and keep the heart in shape. 30 minutes or so of your workout should be spent on a vigorous activity. Running is the best. Vigorous can be defined as finding it difficult to carry on a conversation. After all, are you there to get in shape or socialize.
4. Poor training form.
How many times I walked in and heard a kid straining with his hole body and grunted out, one more to then watch him arch his back and wiggle from side to side. Or swing the curl bar up with the stomach. Get to that last one and then slowly let it out. Build on the negative energy instead of jerking that last one up half way and then dropping the weight. If you have a membership, ask for help or at least take notice of someone who looks like they must know what they're doing. They got that way for a reason. The equipment was designed for use a certain way and you will look like a bigger idiot doing it incorrectly than asking one time how to maximize your time on it.
5. Supplements.
Bodybuilding supplements can be very useful in weightlifting. They are "legal steroids" and are not illegal steroids, which require a prescription and I do not support. Supplements, like many vitamins and minerals, are necessary components to help promote the proper atmosphere to balance the diet, exercise and sleep. Many people are deficient in many nutrients or chemicals and this can be easily corrected by supplementing them artificially.
These are just 5 trouble spots to focus on as you get started or even if you have been working out for a while and haven't been serious before. If you're going to put the time in the gym, you must put the time in developing a system that works for you. Of course everything depends on the person. But information about exercise is as important as the exercise. You will soon learn it's not for you or that you want to take the next step and improve your quality of life by doing it the right way. Don't worry, they usually weed each other out. The fact that you've come this far means you are on the right track. Good luck.
