Beginner Weight Lifting Routine Part 2 of 3

In my previous post you can see the Starting Strength routine that I most often recommend to beginners in fitness. In this post I will be showing the most important part of these exercises, form.

Form is essential to staying healthy in the gym and getting the most out of your weightlifting routine. Remember to never sacrifice form just to put more weight on the bar, you will not see better gains in the gym and you risk injuring yourself.

The Squat- The squat is one of the most important and effective compound exercises that you can do. However you must make sure you are completing every repetition of your workout with proper form. Here is a video you should watch to learn about proper squatting form.

Bench Press- The bench press is different because many people will tell you to do it different ways. Also the proper form for benching is also uncomfortable at fist. However if you do it properly as illustrated in this video however you will see not only bigger strength gains but also bigger muscular gains in the chest.

Dead Lift- It is vital you watch this video on how to dead lift as it is a fairly dangerous exercise if preformed incorrectly. However it is also an exercise that is vital for strength and future muscular gains.

Standing Military Press- This is a great exercise to work out shoulders and back. It is good to learn proper form to protect your shoulder rotatorcuff from damage.

Power Cleans- This is my personal favourite exercise. It is tough to master the form for these but the strength and explosive power this exercise gives is second to none for beginners.

So there you have it! All the form you need to know before you begin your routine! Remember to stick around to hear the next section of my beginner weightlifting plan!
