BODY & STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES
1. WARM-UP and STRETCH before you lift.
2. Practice good mechanics. Don't sacrifice technique for too much weight.
3. Lift the weight SMOOTHLY with strict control.
4. Do not jerk or bounce the weight. Don't squirm or angle to gain a leverage advantage.
5. ISOLATE the muscle groups or body parts involved in the exercise. All other body parts are to remain static and work as stabilizers.
6. Utilize a full range of motion on every exercise. Pre-stretch the muscle at the beginning of the exercise and finish with a complete contraction or until there is no range of movement left.
7. Choose the weight carefully. It is better to start too light rather than too heavy.
8. Do ALL OF THE SETS in each exercise before moving to the next exercise.
9. Always THINK SAFETY. Use spotters when performing heavy lifts. Check the condition of the equipment you will be using. Wear a weight belt, especially for overhead lifts.
10. You can never have too much common sense. Trust your own judgement and body awareness. Don't try to lift through pain. Know the difference between muscle fatigue and actual pain. Don't predispose yourself to injury by not paying attention to what your body is telling you.
