Weight lifting Technique

1.) In order to get good or even great weight lifting technique you should find a good book on it or a fitness trainer who has been trainer to show you how to properly do the movements for each muscle you workout. Learning from a friend or relative is fine but, if they have not been professionally trained they maybe doing it incorrectly also and accidentally misinforming you.

2.) When lifting weights always stay concentrated on the movement your muscle is making watch them flex this will help you get used to the proper technique and eventually you will be performing the exercises perfectly every time you workout.

3.) Bring an illustrated workout book with you that shows the range of motion for each exercise so you aren’t relying on memory to perform them all correctly. In a lot of gyms they will have a chart on the machines that shows the range of motion and target muscles but these wont help you when it comes to the free weights.

4.) Anybody who works out regularly knows over time you have to find new exercises to keep your body wondering for maximum growth so it is good to practice different techniques every couple weeks so you don’t have to go from great form to an exercise you barely know that you cant perform properly that will make you look very unprofessional in the gym.

5.) Last but not least stick to compound movements meaning straight forward ones such as bench press, squats and dead lifting these movements will make the most impact size and definition wise on your body and are some of the easiest weight lifting techniques to learn.
