Going without a plan
Simply put, if you go to the gym without a plan you are setting yourself up for failure. Most “part-time” gym enthusiasts go to the gym and start looking around for what equipment they might want to use. They usually look lost and unsurprisingly are no-shows after a couple months. Contrast that with the people at your gym with the best bodies. Do they walk around aimlessly? Chances are they know not only what parts of the body they are working on but also which exercises and how many sets they are going to do. They also track their progress in terms of body weight, nutrition and measurements. So if you are looking to make significant progress at the gym, make sure you have a plan before you even step in the door. Create a routine training split and determine which muscle groups you will work on each day. Additionally, plan out the exercises you will do and the approximate number of sets and reps. There are tons of great resources out there for determining which exercises to incorporate into your routine and how to structure your sets so make sure you never go to the gym again without a plan!
