Lifting too light a weight:
The exact opposite of the mistake I just
mentioned, this problem is most common among women. Typically I see
people lifting too little weight for one of two reasons. One reason is
that they're basically just going through the motions and aren't really
interested in challenging themselves or working hard. Another reason,
for females at least, is that some women believe that if they lift
heavier weights they'll turn into a manly looking bodybuilder (this, of
course, is a myth).
The problem with lifting too little weight is that
your muscles will not be challenged effectively. If your workouts become
easy, it means that your body has adapted to them and it's time to
change things up. The easiest way to do that is to increase the weight
you're lifting. Male or female, you should be cognizant of your progress
and increase the weight you're lifting when appropriate so you continue
to challenge yourself.
