Whenever you are performing or going to perform weight training workouts there are several guidelines to follow:

  • Execute a minimum of 8 separate exercises for each major muscle group.
  • Execute 1 set of each exercise to fatigue.
  • Your repetition range should be between 3 and 20 optimally between 8-12.
  • Execute your repetitions at a safe speed with a full range of motion.
  • ALWAYS execute each and every exercise with proper form and technique.
  • Maintain normal breathing (don’t hold your breath).
  • Weight Training Routines should be at least 2 or 3 nonconsecutive days of the week.
  • Connect with a partner who can spot you, motivate and critique you.

These guidelines are safe and the industry norm while executing weight training workouts!
