AS with everything in life and bodybuilding is no different. All of us have made mistakes along the way and have learned from them..hopefully. What single greatest tip could you give to someone in the sport of bodybuilding?

to kick it off i'll add mine

Be consistant with what you do. Training, Diet and sleep. Be dedicated but not obsessed and above all be patient!!
 
Don't be afraid to change it up.. Low reps, high reps, extra day working out, weeks rest, change your form and don't listen to someone who says that they got great results from Jak3d!!

Oh and SQUAT!!!! I wasted years not training my legs

Splits are not for beginners. Compounds are where it's at. I can only wish I knew all this when I started and I was eating properly. I may have even rivalled max!
 
Simplicity. Don't over complicate things it is just asking for trouble. Get a good coach to teach you how to lift. And I don't just mean form I mean intensity too.

Don't eat yellow snow.

Great advice. After working in a rehab clinic that deals mostly with knee and hip replacements and back surgery on people 40-90 years of age I would suggest staying injury free and keeping strong but healthy joints.

I know the feeling!! When I started at the gym, after a quick induction I was put onto machine orientated program . . Wasn't even told what squats/deadlifts were. Looking back it's really annoying

I definitely agree that a great tip for the vast majority of beginner lifters is to focus on compounds.
 
Listen to people like dave, markos and fadi, there's a reason everyone listens to them. I wish I'd found this forum earlier in life!
 
That's not true shrek, those ads on porn sites wouldnt lie. It is possible to grow it 4 inches...
 
Be consistent. to an extent you can achicve results just from being consistent, never miss a session.

One that I think more people should adapt is to try every type of training there is. there are heaps of methods and some will work better for you than others. So my advice for people that have resistance compound training for 6 months is to try a new program every 8 weeks. record 1rms, and body measurement and general feel.
If you got good results and enjoyed it, stay with it. if you got poor/negligible results change it up. Learn something new about your body.

Some things I learned is that i need to bench and squat at least 2x a week to see strength gains. I Dont need to deadlift much and my pb will still go up. High rep deads ruin my technique. etc. So from that my programs can be more effective. Try things.

Think back to when you achieved your best results. what were you doing then?
 
"Don't spend much time listening to someone talk about something they have never done."
 
+1 shrek.

Spend no time procrastinating about sets, reps, hypertrophy, which protein to use. Spend all that time saved on lifting heavy shit over your head, and eating.
 
I have millions, but here is #1.

Bodybuilding magazines show BB training in peak condition, using fake plates in the most part, I've seen it with my own eyes. They hold this condition for 2-3 weeks a year, the rest of the time they are much smoother.

Now young guys look at these pics, see the guy lifting, very lean, and automatically thinks that lifting, training is where its at.

If the magazines were to print pics of the guys fully dressed and eating 5000-10,000 calories a day, nobody would buy it, boring pics.

So your eyes tell you that to look like them you need to train like them.

Gyms are full of skinny guys doing concentration curls.

In your formative years, gain as much mass as you can by eating vast quantities of food, training hard on the compounds and resting.
