Home Gym Mistakes to Avoid
Common home gym mistakes include: buying equipment before measuring space, choosing style over function, ignoring flooring needs, under-buying rack capacity, and getting specialty bars before basics. The biggest mistake is analysis paralysis—waiting for the 'perfect' setup instead of starting with basics and upgrading. Start with essentials, use them, then add based on actual needs rather than wants.
