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.

We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day

For we were young and sure to have our way

Is it really a time to show off some of your gains? But, do you feel so shy to take off your shirt? Well, there is another solution to this shyness, wear a tank top! Wearing a workout tank top in the gym to look directly at your gains while exercising is actually exciting. However, you need to be very careful while wearing a tank top as there is a fine line between great and gross when you wear it, especially outside the gym. Here are 4 must to follow rules that you must learn to wear a tank top to avoid being weird when you move around.
1. It Should Be Well-Fitted but Not Like A T-Shirt
The rule of wearing a tank top is just the same as a t-shirt, it should be well-fitted. However, it makes you look worse if it is too small or too large for you. Imagine a big size tank top which reveals more than the actual need, does not it look weird? The tank top is already showing off a lot, so don’t reveal more of you with an inappropriate size. If you feel comfortable, only then you can look confident wearing it. In the gym, wear a little more fitted tank top to reveal your gains. It motivates you when your body is pumped. A good workout shirt does the same but a tank top adds a little more spice to it.
2. Choose Colors Decently
Remember, a tank top is not a t-shirt so don’t apply the same sense on it. Tank top should not be of vivid colors, having gym quotes in weird font, or too much of images. It should be of nice smooth colors, as it does not have much cloth on it to adjust big texts. The minimal fabric is already a casual style, so don’t overdo style by wearing those that have traditional big texts on them. It is suggested to wear strips, simple patterns, a single small sign or image like a leave, etc.
3. Trim Your Chest Hair
Due to the style of tank top, most of the part of the upper chest from the middle reveals when you wear it. Needless to say, along with the chest muscles, your chest hair also reveals. Well, it is totally in your control to manage the amount of hair you have on your chest. If you want to reveal your body, don’t make it weird for everyone. The tank top is supposed to be cool and don’t spoil your look with a layer of thick fur on your chest. It’s totally your choice to trim your chest hair to a level where they just make you look hot or otherwise simply clean it all. There are multiple choices for removing your chest hair such as using a trimmer, razor, wax strips, body hair removing creams, or a laser for a permanent solution.
Don’t Wear It Everywhere
Alright, it’s pretty clear that it is totally your choice what to wear but do a favor to the society and follow this rule.
4. Don’t wear it everywhere!
If you have worked hard in the gym, don’t put everyone in a weird situation by showing off your gains every time everywhere. It’s weird when you go for grocery shopping wearing a tank top. Common on! There are so many people there who are not interested to look at your body at all. Wear it in the gym, a pool party, or at a beach. Wear it where people actually appreciate you for wearing it and consider you a smart and hot guy.

Since 2013 Raf Simons and adidas have been delighting us with some of the most exclusive launches in the world, especially with Detorit Runner and Ozweego lines.
The original Ozweego was released by Adidas in the late 1990s, and truthfully Raf Simons' take shares little with the OG other than the name. They aren't just a replica of a vintage sneaker re-issued for today—they're a genuinely novel, thoughtful, elevated take. Raf's version doesn't even have Adidas's three-stripe design on the side panel, and they were a hit.
Today, "ugly sneaker" is synonymous with Balenciaga's Triple S, or maybe even Kanye West's Yeezy 700. But Adidas and Raf are still churning out Ozweegos in new colorways—and there's perhaps no better no version than this.
Just like Ozweego, Detroit Runner is also based on aesthetics for which Simons has been named Designer of the Year in 2017, utilizing the latest adidas technology. With a canvas upper and rubber midsole, the result is a shoe that contains the most personality of the moment.
