Building Mistakes 
to Avoid
  
Introduction
To get the most effective results in the most efficient 
manner, the trick is to workout smart. Therefore, when it 
comes to muscle building, it is important you know the 
key facts about what not to do, what to do and when to 
do it.
Along with weight loss, building muscle is one of the 
primary reasons people join a gym. After all, gaining 
lean muscle not only looks good, it is also important to 
your overall health. 
With increased muscle mass, you will experience 
improved posture, joint protection, stronger bones, 
stronger joints and tendons, better metabolism, athletic 
ab ility and balance.  
Not Eating Enough
All that time in the gym pounding away at the weights 
may be all for nothing if you’re not taking in enough 
calories.
This is because, without being in a calorie surplus, you 
will make muscle building very difficult for yourself.
It is important to remember, calories are needed to fuel 
your workouts and to help your muscles to repair and 
grow.
Calorie counting is far from a perfect science but to get a 
rough idea of how many you need a day to build muscle, 
you want to multiply your weight in pounds by 15 to 17.
  
Over-training
Training breaks your muscle tissue down and then 
repairs it afterwards. 
It might seem logical that the more you workout, the 
more muscle building you’ll accomplish.
However, this isn’t the case as training too often can 
cause your body to burn out because your body will 
not be getting the rest time to do so. 
This can increase your stress hormones, leading to 
injuries and even sickness as it can suppress your 
immune system.
  
Not Drinking Enough Water
Your body is made up of two thirds water. Out of that, two 
thirds of that water is found in your muscle. 
Your muscle cells are made up of protein and water and if 
you want to gain more of it you need to increase your water 
intake.
The usual 6 to 8 glasses a day is a good guideline but a 
more accurate approach is to drink half your weight in 
ounces of water each day. 
So, with our 150 pound example, you should be drinking 
approximately 75 ounces of water a day – the average cup 
has about 8 oz in it, this equals around 9 cups a day.4.
