How to start lifting without getting hurt
Five rules we teach every new member before they touch a barbell.

Strength training is one of the best things you can do for your health. The trick is to start lighter than your ego wants.
Learn the patterns first
Squat, hinge, push, pull and carry. Master them with light weight before you chase numbers.
Progress slowly
Add a little weight each week. Small jumps, repeated for months, beat big jumps that stall in weeks.
Rest is part of the plan
Muscles grow between sessions. Sleep, food and rest days are where the work turns into results.
