and goals. How much can you comfortably lift? What size is your waist? Do you
want to be the next Mr or Mrs Universe? This all impacts the plan you must put
together.

body to adapt to the rigours of weight training.
Eat well
When training with weights your body will burn up more protein as these
are the building blocks of muscle. Six small protein rich meals a day is your
goal.

gains. It will also help you to not over train.
Use
correct technique
Bad technique leads to injuries and poor gains. Take the time to get the
right technique. If you’re struggling for form then the weight is too heavy.
Lower at
half the speed of your lift

lowering portion of the lift can help build the muscle so make the most of it!
Stretch
and warm up

injury.
Measure
your progress

what weights you were lifting in your last session.
