Safety & Technique Tips
Proper Form First
Always prioritize correct technique over heavy weights. Start with lighter dumbbells to master the movement pattern before increasing resistance.
Progressive Overload
Gradually increase weight, reps, or sets each week. This systematic approach ensures continuous muscle development while preventing injury.
Warm-Up Essential
Dedicate 5-10 minutes to dynamic warm-up before training. Light cardio and mobility exercises prepare your muscles for the workout ahead.
Controlled Movement
Focus on slow, controlled movements both during lifting and lowering phases. This maximizes muscle engagement and reduces injury risk.
Breathing Technique
Exhale during the exertion phase and inhale during the lowering phase. Proper breathing maintains core stability and power output.
Recovery Time
Allow 48-72 hours between training the same muscle groups. Recovery is when muscles actually grow stronger and adapt to training stress.
