Weightlifting Basics Nobody Tells You

When I first started lifting, I had no clue what I was doing—just wanted to get stronger without wrecking my back. If you’re new to the gym, here’s what I wish I knew: 🔸 Pick a weight that feels challenging but lets you finish 8-12 reps with good form. If you’re wobbling or cheating, it’s too heavy. If you could go forever, it’s too light. 🔸 Warm up before you touch the weights. Five minutes of light cardio and some joint circles make a huge difference in how you feel later. 🔸 Slow and steady wins. Don’t rush your reps—control the weight up and down. You’ll get better results and avoid injuries. 🔸 Eat a small snack about an hour before you train, but don’t go in stuffed or starving. Your body needs fuel, not a food coma. Start simple, focus on form, and add weight gradually. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later. #GymTips #Weightlifting #StrengthTraining #Health #Fitness
