5. Ignoring Pain (No, It’s Not Just “Part of the Grind”)
Soreness is normal. Sharp pain? Not so much.
The Mistake: Many people push through pain, thinking it’s a sign of toughness. This can turn minor issues into serious injuries that keep you out of the gym for months.
The Fix: Listen to your body. If something feels off or painful, stop and assess. Use proper recovery techniques like foam rolling, stretching, ice/heat therapy, and seeing a physiotherapist if necessary.
