For me it would be that lifting can take time. It’s okay to start with light weights and it’s okay that getting bigger will take more than three months. Sure, pushing yourself is good to make progress, but everyone has their limits.
Also, lifting can be for more than just getting bigger. In the beginning I was hyper focussed on getting more muscular and it led to me taking awful homemade protein/caloric shakes which cannot be healthy long term. It took me pretty long to understand that this way of training was not what I wanted. Luckily I now know that I want to focus on strength and stamina and that size comes second.
How about you?
It’s a joke, pal. I know well how it works, otherwise I wouldn’t have bought one.
I will disagree and encourage the use of a belt to those who are lifting a certain amount of weight, especially in squats (if you are lifting as much as you weight) and deadlifts (what you weight multiplied 1’6), if not for the single reason that makes one much more conscious of their posture and I consider it a great form to keep in mind your form through the whole length of the exercise. If you can lift a weight with a belt and go through the whole exercise with proper form, it’s not egolifting.
