Via: Men's Health Magazine Athlean-X's Jeff Cavaliere breaks down the errors that could be affecting your gains at home.
Stop Focusing on What You Don't Have to Train
You don't need a fully-equipped home gym to keep the gains coming, says Cavaliere—all you have to do is take advantage of the stuff around you. Countertops, tables, staircases, doorways can provide adequate alternatives to equipment when you're working out in quarantine.
Similarly, Cavaliere points out that often, when training at home without equipment, some people tend to overcompensate by attempting exercises that are beyond their current level of ability. Rather than pushing for difficulty, simply focusing on achieving the correct form in moves like the pushup will be a lot more productive for building muscle.
Mistake: Neglecting the Posterior Chain in Your Home Training
All too often, home workouts refrain from sufficiently training the back, and the aforementioned absence of equipment makes this a bigger problem. "Your back is one of the biggest areas in your entire body, and it needs a great deal of attention," says Cavaliere. "Forgetting to train it just because you don't have the obvious options at your disposal doesn't make it acceptable."
While you're likelier to do pullups, rows, or pulldowns when you stumble across the equipment in a gym, it's far too easy for those moves to slip your mind at home when you don't have access to the same equipment. But overlooking the smaller muscles in your back can lead to all kinds of problems with your posture—especially if you're spending a ton of time sitting—as only training your front creates a muscle imbalance.
Mistake: Using Fixed Rep Counts to Work Out
Following a prescriptive approach to programming (i.e. setting a certain number of sets of reps) isn't particularly useful, says Cavaliere, as each individual has differing levels of ability, and you won't necessarily be taking yourself to the limit required to create real gains.
"Instead of fixed rep counts, focus more on training to failure on this specific day," he advises. "Because that can actually vary from day to day. If you take failure as your guideline, you're basically providing yourself with a number that's actually accurate when it comes to creating overload."
If you do want to keep using fixed rep counts, then Cavaliere recommends training to failure or adding a time limit to your workout.
Mistake: Forgetting to Include Variety in Your Workouts
"Exercise variety is what actually creates the overload, because it applies a different stress to your body," says Cavaliere. Using the example of the pushup again, he demonstrates how performing different variations of a single move can have different effects on the body.
Additionally, simply repeating the same workouts over and over again will lead to diminishing returns, as there is no progression: mixing up your moves, adjusting your rest times, and adding time limits to sets are all ways to keep adding that stimulus in the muscles.
Mistake: Prioritizing Cardio Over Strength Workouts
A lot of the time, home workouts consist almost entirely of cardio moves rather than strength moves. And while cardio moves have their place, Cavaliere believes they should be confined to your conditioning workout if what you're looking for is muscle growth.
"If you want to build muscle, you need to focus less on cardio moves," he says. "It becomes more of a HIIT effect than a strength-building effect." The most effective way to build strength at home is by doing exercises which create muscle fatigue within seconds, rather than minutes.
Mistake: You Don't Make Training a Part of Your Daily Routine
For many, going to the gym is simply a part of their daily schedule, something they do on their way to or from work. For others, training with a workout buddy adds a social element, along with a sense of accountability. All of these things have fallen by the wayside since we began self-isolating, and we've lost that accountability.It's more important than ever to carve out a set time for exercise in your day-to-day, and stick to it. Not only will you feel the physical benefits from keeping up with your workouts, but it can bring some much-needed structure to days which, lets be honest, are starting to blur together.
Mistake: Picking the Wrong Room
Cavaliere advises that you avoid the most comfortable room in your house. You might be too easily distracted if you're surrounded by your comfortable couch and TV, and that's a recipe for skipped sessions. Apartment dwellers—best of luck in your small spaces. Try creating a dedicated space for your training to get into the right mindset.
Mistake: Repeating the Same Workout Again and Again
If you do the same thing over and over, you eliminate progression. Once you eliminate progression, you eliminate your chances to improve and advance to challenge your muscles in new ways to challenge your muscles to stimulate growth.

With January and the new year we have also welcomed the ski & snowboard season. Ski & snowboard outfits are not very reasonable price/ affordable most of the times especially considering that you will only wear them on 3-4 days holiday trips. Luckily we have selected top jackets and coats you can also wear them in the city and get the most of the price you pay.
Not only will these jackets offer you the warming, protective goodness they also act as a stylish piece you will happily wear all season round. Here is our ski jacket edit from designer signature to reasonable prices that you might find it useful as a winter wardrobe investment.
The winter looks are mostly thought as limited because the chunky coats are a must to keep yourself warm. But... We insist that colder weather doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your street style in overly winter coats. Here are 6 great winter streetwear outfit combinations.
PS: Still, in spite of the our streetwear offers in this article, there are still a few things to keep in mind this season. Click here to see some of the key pieces.
1. Denim Jacket with shearling collar + Logo hoodie
Denim jacket and a hoodie combo is an ideal substitute for an effortless look but yet stylish. Shearling collars are one of the biggest trends this season so go for a denim jacket with a shearling collar to make the look more suitable for winter and stay warmer.
2. Layers + Hiking boots
A good understanding of your layers is key to nailing winter streetwear. Go for garments of varying lengths so that they’re visible when worn on top of one another. Hiking boots are the hottest boots of this season. Do not hesitate to use them in all your looks.
3. Vintage style brown trousers + Dad sneakers + extremely touchable topcoats
Streetwear is about making a statement. And what better way to do that than by using a statement topcoat with the most trendy sneakers? Plus; dad sneakers are dad sneakers.
4. Puffer vest + Hiking boots
Puffer vests over a jumper is a very easy way to pull of a cool street look. Combine it with hiking boots to get the more casual but yet cool look.
5. Overcoat + Dad caps + Hoodie
Dad caps can cope with cold-weather clothing nicely.Especially where long coats are involved. Plus; the overcoat works surprisingly well with a hoodie and casual clothing in place of a suit.
6. Bold colours in jumpers + Jeans
Be bold or go home! Leave your black and grey jumpers at home today and pick a bold colour. Down below, the jeans you spend most of the winter in will do nicely.
The winter may seem dark and cold, but in fashion world we always find a way to find solace in. These 4 biggest trends will make you want to be outside more despite the cold weather just to share your outfit with the world!
With the help street trends, shop windows and some professional sources, we’ve rounded up the autumn-winter trends for this season.
Invest in a shearling
This is a must. Shearling has been a rising trend in menswear last year too and it doesn’t seem like that it will go away soon. A high-quality shearling overcoat will last you a lifetime and keep you warm for just as long. This season's best shearling are also showed in desirable styles.

Hiking Boots
It’s cool, comfortable, warm and masculine! What can you ask more from a pair boots, right? If you're going to make one investment on shoes this season, make it a pair of high quality hiking boots. Gucci, Bally or Moncler would be a good place to start but we’ve picked some budget friendly ones too.
Shades of brown – especially in coats
Not only this year – brown long coats have always been on the top in menswear.
Nineties Sportswear
It’s not vintage. It’s 90s in 2018 styles and cuts. Best way to update nineties classics is to go oversized and wear them with tailoring.
PS: Some say that checkered pieces are the 5th one but we are not one of them. We are not a big fan of checks in menswear but if you insist you can go with a well-tailored and cool styled short length jackets. Or you don't. To be honest don’t use checks in any of your look. Maybe a hat. Maybe…
The art of casual menswear requires effortless looks. Although it's called ''efortless'' somehow it needs some work. Here are our favourite TOP 3 looks of the week - from simple or floral ones - and some shopping tips to get them...
A big high five to Deerupt, the shoe designed by Adidas especially for Instagram. Apparently taking inspiration from Instagram isn’t the most romantic design story but it might be a radically obvious one. Adidas designed the Deerupt with radioactive colours and a pattern that verges on optical illusion to stick out, on a millionth routine scroll through Instagram, like a firecracker in an otherwise ho-hum night sky.
“The shoe is instantly recognisable in a quick scroll through the feed,” says James Thompson, Adidas Originals’ global design director of men’s footwear.
