    The first common gym exercise mistake that you might be making is on the leg extension machine. You might be running to this exercise to hammer your legs - whether it’s because you think it directly isolates the quads or because it’s just an easy to perform exercise; I suggest you utilize your time on a safer, more effective exercises to blow up your quads.
    On the flip side of the legs, you might be performing leg curls to target your hamstrings. The big mistake here is driving your knees into the pad causing an over activation of the hip flexors. If this happens, then you are asking for lower back pain. Instead, activate your glutes before each rep. A better option is to perform the exercise standing or seated if you have the opportunity.
    Probably the most popular gym exercise for building muscle is the DB bench press. One of the biggest mistakes that you can make when performing this exercise is to forget about leg drive. By not utilizing your lower body through each rep, you are missing out on an opportunity to move heavier weight which we know can be used to build more strength and size.
    Sticking with the chest, the pec deck is another popular exercise that beginners and veterans will find themselves performing to build a big chest. A big mistake that I often see when people perform this exercise is the idea that you are supposed to “hug the tree”. By performing this motion, you are incurring more work to be done by the shoulders instead of the chest which is the muscle group you are trying to target in the first place. Instead, think of driving your back into the pad and squeezing with your chest.
    The next common mistake I see is when it comes to the skull crushers. Instead of using your head as the target point of the rep, I would suggest getting the bar back overhead in order to increase the stretch on the long head of the triceps. Doing so will give greater muscle activation, leading to more muscle growth which is what you are seeking in the first place.
    If you have been watching me for any length of time, you know what mistake I am going to call out on the lateral raises; pouring the pitcher at the top of each rep. By letting the pinkies raise higher than the thumbs as the arms go up, you are introducing internal rotation with elevation which is a recipe for shoulder pain and impingement.
    The leg press is one of those gym exercises that I see misperformed all too often. One of the biggest mistakes I see is the foot placement; always far too high on the plate. This can cause a positioning of the body that forces the low back off the back pad of the machine which is not something that we want. Instead, bring your feet lower on the plate.
    The seated DB press is one of the most commonly perform shoulder exercises that I happen to think is riddled with mistakes. While seated, it often happens that as you fatigue through the set, in order to press the dumbbells up overhead, you are drive your back into the seat. The major problem with this is the fact that it disrupts normal scapular movement through the range of motion. Instead, you would want to keep your back off the back of the seat in order to keep the scapular rhythm in check.
    When it comes to building triceps, you will almost always see triceps pushdowns in somebody’s workout or program. Why? It’s a great exercise! The only problem is the way that people sometimes perform it. By not letting the wrists go into extension as you press the bar down, you are sacrificing an opportunity to for full elbow extension to make sure the triceps are doing the most work possible. So make sure that you are letting your wrists extend with each rep.
    Be sure to watch the entire video to see the rest of the most common gym exercise mistakes and just how to avoid them to make sure that you are getting the best and safest gains possible.

    This fall I started a weight and stretching regimen focused on golf fitness. I'm 57 years old and I realized the amount of time I have left to enjoy the game is directly related to how long I can maintain my strength and flexibility. Because I'm new to weight training I found myself searching for tips on the correct way to perform exercises. At first it was simply to keep from hurting myself but I realized pretty quickly it was also important to do exercises correctly to make sure the effort I was putting in was worthwhile by training the muscles properly. Anyway, I say all this to let you know I realized quickly that my searches kept coming back to your channel. Videos like this one have been invaluable to me training safely and in a matter of a few months finding myself in my best physical shape in a very long time. Thanks for what you do. You've helped this "old man" a great deal even though my goals might not be the same as your average viewer.

    I discovered Jeff's videos during lockdown. I ditched leg press, leg extensions and leg curls. I brought back squats, and started doing Romanian deadlifts, split squats and hip thrusts. The difference was incredible - no more knee pain, strength improved, mass improved, my flexibility improved, and my overall stability is way better. I just turned 53 so I discovered this in the nick of time before I screwed myself completely. Thanks Jeff... and Jesse too, of course! :-)

      @@paulchristie3306 Thanks, especially if you've already screwed something up. Agree with preferring dips to tricep extensions for sure with the caveat that form here is critical as well. For example, ending forward in dips while trying to increase dip load leads to issues and reduces tricep focus. Pull ups are great as a compound exercise with a lot of bang-for-the-buck. They require a high fitness level to execute with enough reps for gains though. Using bands or doing negatives worked for me at this point.

I told him not to take Sam’s advice as he’s not a professional clinician or has a masters in kinesiology, PT or a coach under any type of certification. It may work for Sam but Sam shouldn’t be giving out advice to anyone and his phone should be taken away until he’s responsible enough.

    Lots of good intricate tips and fixes from Jeffrey here, even for those training longer than himself. Like the leg curls - over the years you just assume the lower back cramp just comes with the exercise. I do like leg extensions though, in addition to squats, as I have tiny knee joints and knobbly knees, and struggle to even stand up from parallel (thighs to floor), and extensions definitely develop the muscles that are above and around my kneecaps more than squats - which I think is needed if you are a jogger to stop your kneecaps flapping around.

      1. You can't target individual muscle in your quads, Jeff explains in this video at 9:35

    Hey jeff, I watched an old video on this channel where you showed a couple of exercises for the core using the trx and I always see it in your videos hanging by the pullup bar so I was wondering if you could do more videos with the trx, as always thanks for your content, I think you're the best and most informative coach on youtube, keep up the good work.

    I've watched your videos for over 2 years and followed them as they actually do work on my body type(6'3" 230,46 years old, athletic build). But the 2 excersises that really took me to the next level was ,1.the pullup,when i saw about how to use my legs and glutes to improve my pullups, i thought that was nuts, but when i did it, it was a game changer for me as i struggled with them all my life. 2. the rubber band leg explosion, when i saw you use the rubber band and put your foot in them and then isolated the leg on FULL extension, both quads and then hamstrings and glutes, that exercise along helped me put on 40-50 pounds on my max squat. And 20-25 on my full power clean. I added a twist to the exercises though, i put a 45 rubber plate on the floor under the static leg(not in the rubber band) and what that did was gave my leg extra 2-3 inches on contraction on my quads. Then at the last 3 reps i engaged my hip muscles by doing a exterior rotation of the hip muscles as all the leg strength in the world doesn't matter unless you have a strong hip flexor and hip muscle(found this out the hard way in college). These 2 exercises literally changed the game for my patella injuries(that led to cartilage damage under my knee cap). And my upper body strength . TY

    Jeff, you've trained me well. From just the first exercise you explained, leg extensions and why to squat instead, i can tell you right now my hams and glutes ARE actually my strong point compared to my quads. I do barbell squats, squat variations, lunges, and lunge variations, but no quad isolation exercises so to speak. As far as glutes and hams go, i lift heavier on my hip thrusts and deadlifts than i do on my squats. I also do reverse planks with ham curl, Nordic ham curl, kickbacks, hypertextension. For me, i just like the way it looks better on the female body (glutes and hams more developed than quads) but mine are not so far off from each other.

    Jeff Cavalier, wow! Well done. I love your videos and I am a fan of yours. However a lot of your videos go into too much detail (not a criticism as I tend to do so myself). It is almost that you need two types of videos, one with in-depth explanations and another, with a quick 'this is how you do it right!' video. But when I clicked on this video, you've smashed it! You have found the happy medium. But, more significantly, you've corrected a lot of big gym mistakes and saved a few bodies from harm.

    Thanks brother. I sometimes need a refresher course in technique. For example, I generally do a curl bar superset of skull crushers to pullovers but now I will remember to slightly adjust the skull crusher into more of a stretch position. That will intensify the entire superset.
    Going in to plan for surgery to repair a 1.6 cm full thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon. I have other tears including where biceps anchor to the should and grade 3 cartilage glenohumeral joint issue but... Anyway, I am continuing my workouts up to the day of surgery so I have a better starting point in my recovery.
    You have helped me a lot over the last several years Jeff. I just turned 51 and aside from being overweight I am in damn good shape for my age. Better than many 20 years my junior.

    60 YO. Guys like me do start gym training too! To start with isolated exercises might be a very good idea. Things like Squat and deadlift kills backs if not done properly! And to do those right are paramount for us older guys. I have been out of training for months because of deadlifts done wrong/too high weight, even after PT guidance. For the younger guys, you heal easier. We guys that remember Neil on the Moon need safe exercises.
