Muscle Up without even realising it you can put your self at serious risk of illness, injury and reduce your progress. Sure it is fantastic that you wish to train and build muscle up but at the same time just one single injury, one moment of carelessness can put you out of action for weeks or months and with consequences related to both health and financial matters.
1) Always check and double check you have put the barbell collars on before you start lifting. When this occurs that side of the bar will be extremely light and leveraged upwards by the heavy side. real damage could be caused to people or equipment as the barbell is flipped mercilessly through the air!
2) If you are doing one rep maximum lifts then do so with a spotter. This is person who watches you and is ready to help you out if you start struggling.
3) If you are sick don't train. Most commonly the session produces no personal bests and the next few days are spent in recovering in bed. By training when you are sick you are allowing the sickness to take a firmer grip of you because working out will lower your immune system for a while.
4) Use proper form. Strictly correct technique must be ensured at all times.
5) Don't do too much. This motivation is fine but working out everyday or even every second day will likely be too much for the majority of people unless a split routine is used. again when your muscle have not yet fully recovered from a previous workout will actually weaken your muscle not make them stronger.
6) Failure to follow a decent diet. If you do not take on board sufficient calories then you are not going to be able to support growth of more muscle mass rendering your efforts useless.
7) Boasting to you gym partner. Trying to beat your own personal best scores is far more productive. This will be more motivating for you and reduce your risk of injury.
8) Warm-up sufficiently. This can keep you out of action for weeks or possibly even months. It is very easy to do, 5-10 minutes aerobic work, a few stretching exercises and then a few warm up sets will be enough.
