1: Wear the proper clothing. Your clothing in the gym must allow you to move freely and safely.
2: You must drink water regularly - before, during and after each exercise session. (or a protein drink-which helps build muscle)
3: Make sure you use proper lifting techniques on every rep of every exercise. Using incorrect techniques or lifting form can at the very least prevent you from making any positive progress, but you can also pull or tear muscles, damage tendons and ligaments, break bones and worse.
4: Warm up properly before starting to lift weights. The first thing you should do is to warm up using a stationary bike or a treadmill for 5 - 10 minutes.
5: Don't load the bar up with too much weight in an effort to look stronger than you really are.
Using too much weight will obviously put you at risk for an injury. Leave your ego at home and use the weight that will allow you to work in the rep range you are supposed to while using good form.
Tips For Body Building - 6: Use negatives. Without getting into boring scientific details, the lowering, or eccentric part of an exercise is vital to your progress.
7: Focus and concentrate on what you're doing. If you're distracted or preoccupied when exercising you will get hurt. Proper focus will also enable you to lift more weight and use good form, all of which results in better muscle growth and fat loss.
8: Do not go to the gym without a plan. Don't wander randomly from exercise to exercise in the gym.
9: Your diet is an extremely important part of your body building success. You must adjust your diet according to your results. You will not have any body building success without a good diet. [ Tiffanyy's advice column | Ask Tiffanyy A Question ]
