Help with muscle building mistakes paper
 

I have to do a presentation for a communications class and I decided to do it on the topic of muscle building. I have to put together a top 20 list of common mistakes. Any suggestions? I have some good ideas but want to make sure I cover all my bases.

#1. Picking an exercise because it's easier or more comfortable than it's barbell counterpart.

Believing that you need to constantly revamp your training every 8-12 weeks or the gains will cease.

Extended workouts and then eating like a girl.

not stretching, especially when the muscle is full of blood.

Not working hard enough.

thinking generic rep ranges work for every muscle the same on every body.

Using solely momentum and absolutely no muscular contraction to do an exercise just to get a higher number/weightload.

Reading the magazines in the stores. Think of them as comics.

Not balancing your upper body training between chest, shoulders and back.
