3. Master good technique before adding more weight - Having good form is going to keep injury risk at a minimum that allows us to be consistent with training. Weight training is about moving weights efficiently, if you’re loading up the joints properly you will be able to lift more weight long term and that’s going to lead to better results. It's worth noting an effective training program is not one of many variations of excercises. It's better for trainees of all levels to focus on a handful of compound lifts and becoming very efficient at those movements.
