actually I have made many bad mistakes.....but that's how we learn right?
anyways....I'd have to say my worst mistake was because of bad form on bench press.....I dropped 315 on my chest a couple of years ago and it cracked my sternum....now that's pain......it took my about 608 months to get my bench back up to where it was.

Worst mistakes in Training for me:
1) Wasting a lot of years doing high reps of low weights because I was afraid I'd get "big" lifting heavy weights. (Yes, I'm female
)
2) Doing too much cardio because that's what I thought would best lower my bodyfat. (Even when I got to very low bodyfat, I still didn't like the way I looked because I didn't have the hardness I do now that comes from developed muscle.)
3) Not eating enough period, and not eating enough nutritional food. Thinking I could just train harder rather than eat better.

I probably still have a lot of mistakes, but in hindsight....
Trying to lose fat while trying to build muscle, but not knowing WHAT to eat and what not to eat. Avoided all fat, but continued to eat truckloads of carbs and fruit. Basically meant not eating nearly enough.
Also, completely trusting a single book... the Matrix Principle.... which is about light weight, high reps (half reps and such) and short rest times.... I thought everything in that book was the truth. Yeesh.
