Sim0n Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I've dusted off my adjustable incline weight bench, Barbell and 2x 10 KG plates I'm just wondering if there's any Avid lifters out there that could give me a bit of advice on exercises etc. At the moment I've been a bit slack with training due to not knowing much about supersets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMcWawa Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't lift weights, but I'm assuming that walking around with them under your arms in a t-shirt from Adams is the usual exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retired Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Get some good advice before you start. Get it wrong and you could be damaged for life. Thought of joining a gym first? There are enthusiast there who would advise and teach then take it up at home on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enthusiast there who would advise and teach then take it up at home on the bench. That's my problem, I'm aware the damage that can be caused by not lifting correctly. I'm also aware that you need to exercise opposite parts of the body in order not to cause strain on certain body parts. I don't want to throw myself into it and end up doing damage lol.

onewheeldave Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Don't join a gym. No decent gym will require you to take out a contract. There are plenty of free weights gyms around sheffield that you can pay-per-session to use. Also plenty of decent online forums with good advice for beginners. While you're doing your research just make a basic workout using pushups, chins, squats etc. If you use your bench, just keep the weights low and keep your movements slow and controlled. Do less rather than more- success in weights and any kind of exercise comes only with regular practice, so prioritise keeping your enthusiasm up- overdoing things will be counter-productive. Most libraries will have at least one book covering all the basic weight training exrecises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weights at home, once you know what you're doing, are more than adequate, and certainly not just for 'keeping loose'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming your usual exercise is done with just one arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
