What is going on guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Eric Roberts

Fitness Podcast. I sure do hope that you are doing super well. Today we got a podcast on five things that you want to avoid, five mistakes you want to avoid making in your workouts and I was trying to you

know I'm thinking of the biggest mistakes I see people make whether they're

advanced whether they're just beginning I'm also thinking about a lot of the things that when people come to us for

coaching, you know, things that they say they were doing differently and they weren't

doing before, they started doing when they first got on our program, that's why they're

seeing more results, all those things.

So I'm taking these five major things and putting them into your life so you can see better progress.

flat dumbbell chest press for three sets of you know eight to ten reps and then they do push-ups for three sets of you know just as many

reps as they can and then they do a dumbbell chess fly or they do some sort of like

champagne press which you don't

with a champagne press it's like you're putting two dumbbells together and

doing like a chess press that way so like that was their that's their chess day

that's like their entire workout, right? Or we'll stick on that and then we'll go to, well I'll use glutes as the example next time. But let's just say that was your, you know, your workout for your chest. Essentially, a flat bar bell bench press,

a flat dumbbell bench press, a push up

and a flat dumbbell chest fly.

Essentially, that movement, all four of those exercises are the same exact thing.
