2. Learn the basic exercises
Basic exercises are the foundation of any strength training program . They target multiple muscle groups at once and help you develop a solid base. Some of the most common basic exercises include squats, bench presses, pull-ups, deadlifts, and overhead presses. Learn how to perform these movements correctly to avoid injury and maximize your results.
3. Respect the technique
Technique is crucial in bodybuilding . Poor form can not only lead to injury, but it can also compromise your results. Take the time to learn and master the correct technique for each exercise. Don't hesitate to seek help from a coach to help you progress.
4. Gradual progression
The key to effective strength training is progressive progression. This means gradually increasing the load, volume, or intensity of your workouts over time. This stimulates muscle growth and allows you to continue making progress. Keep a training journal to track your progress and adjust your program accordingly.
5. Pay attention to recovery
Recovery is as important as the workout itself. Make sure you rest well between workouts, eat well to promote muscle recovery, and pay special attention to sleep. Listen to your body and don't hesitate to take rest days if necessary to avoid overtraining and injury.
