Dave Draper bringt es auf den Punkt!:

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST MISTAKES YOU SEE BEGINNERS MAKING?
1- Jumping into training without a clue. This worked for me and pre-historic man, but some basic knowledge picked up from an honest-to-goodness coach, be he a friend or professional, is not a bad idea. Get the basics down and start pounding away, learning as you go with focus and self-awareness. Once you learn the basics in exercise, muscle action and muscle grouping, sets and reps, your mistakes will become your guide.
2- Not working legs, like they were totally disconnected from their shoulders and arms. Another way of saying this is; they don't do squats. Gasp. The single most important builder of the body (next to the bench press, I guess one might say, if they were locked in a gym with a bunch of bench press-crazed physical culturists). Get with it.
3- Not addressing the training component of sound nutrition and right eating. Lots of protein, breakfast, frequent feedings, no junk food. things like that... vitamins and minerals, lots of water. You are what you eat.
4- Expecting and looking for too much, too soon and submission to disappointment. Not giving the training a chance, the real test and, thus, not applying or developing discipline, patience and perseverance. or muscle and might.
5- Doing bench presses that are too heavy, too soon and ferociously wrong in form. You know, the severely arched back, the big bounce, the right goes up followed sometime later by the left. Very personal. Your shoulders hate you for the rest of your life. Train hard, be wise, take care of your joints, tendons and muscles.
6- Seeking information like it was gold -- the real answer, the hidden truth, the secret, the faster way, the better way, the pro's way. Along with that is believing in the magazines and studying their advertisements. Research more, train less, learn less, go nowhere, go home. It's in you, it's in the iron, it's in the work, hard consistent work. That's also where the joy is stashed, where fulfillment overflows and where boys become men and girls become stronger and leaner girls. Hi cutie.
