- Eating garbage because of the 'macros' or artifically flavored 'BCAA drinks' or preworkout mixes. Same goes for most protein powders/bars.
bad for your gut, mental health + waste of money.
Just toxic bombs that should not replace REAL food nutrition or quality sleep.

- Using a plastic supp shaker/drink bottle.
They throw it in with your order of creatine at the local supp mart.
You don't need to dose yourself with endocrine disrupting chemicals from plastic. Use a glass bottle or stainless steel shaker if you want a wide mouth for supps.

- Working out for too long, or too often
Get in, stimulate the muscle and push it to new limits and then get out and recover. A solid workout can be done in 30 minutes. Once you push past this you're impeding your recovery time for reduced gains.
no need to lift 6/7 days a week

- Wearing polyester gym clothes.
Heating up and sweating in gear that is essentially plastic just because its stretchy and tight is no bueno.
wear natural fibres such as cotton only. This also allows breathability of the skin and sweating for removal of toxins and cooling.

- Going on your phone during your workout.
If you want to change a song, fine, but that shouldn't lead into scrolling.
Put your mental energy into your lift, you go your whole day with your phone, dedicate your exercise time without it.

- Lifting too heavy for your strength
There are ways to make a light weight 'feel' heavy
your muscles don't know the numbers on the bar... they only 'feel' the gravitational force applied by the weight
more sustainable to focus on lighter weight w/ form + mindmuscle connection

- Allowing 'Cheat' meals
Don't reward yourself with something that's bad for you.
put down the Chik Fil A. it's not anabolic just to look at the macros and think you're eating well.
Anything you want to 'cheat' with can be made in a healthy way with healthy ingredients.

- Thinking Rest Days = laying on the couch
For sure rest from lifting hard; take naps in the sun if you so feel called to.
However, laying indoors all day not moving is not helping your recovery.
Walk around, take a sauna, active recovery is the best recovery.
