Beginner Gym Mistakes That KILL Progress (And How to Fix Them)

Every beginner in the gym makes the same mistakes.
Wasted workouts. Poor recovery. No real structure.
But what if you could skip the guesswork and do it right from day one?

In this video, I break down:

The turning point that leveled up my results

How a simple structured routine changed everything

My full 4-day training split for muscle growth and recovery

The exact way you can build strength, size, and structure — without wasting years

I used to train without a plan. That all changed in 2022.
I built a routine, committed to it, and everything clicked:
Better pumps. Faster recovery. Consistent progress.

Here’s the exact 4-day split I follow and recommend:

4-Day Training Split:
Day 1: Upper Push + Pull (Chest, Back, Shoulders)

Bench Press

Pec Deck

Lat Pulldowns

Barbell Rows

Shoulder Press

Lateral Raises

Rear Delt Flys

Day 2: Lower Body (Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes, Calves)

Squats

Leg Extensions

Romanian Deadlifts

Calf Raises

Leg Adductors

Day 3: Arms & Core (Biceps, Triceps, Forearms, Abs)

Preacher Curls

Hammer Curls

Close-Grip Bench Press

Tricep Pushdowns

Cable Forearm Pulls

Ab Crunch Machine / Cable Abs

Day 4: Master the Movement (1 Exercise Per Muscle)

Choose 1 key exercise for each muscle group

Focus on form, mind-muscle connection, and technique mastery

Perfect for developing control and awareness

If you want to train properly, recover fully, and grow faster—this is where it starts.
Cut the mistakes. Get the structure.
Train like you mean it.
