Trying to get ripped can be difficult, especially if you don't have a trainer to guide you along the way. Luckily, thanks to the internet, individuals can now gain access to advice from many fitness experts without having to shell out the dough for a personal trainer. For example, Ben Pakulski, who has created many popular bodybuilding workouts, recently went online and offered some tips for successful weight lifting.
First, Pakulski said one of the major mistakes that first-timers make is trying to lift too much weight too soon. While you do want to steadily increase the amount of weight you are lifiting over time, your set needs to last between 30 and 50 seconds, and if you can't hold the amount of weight you have on the bars for that long then you aren't building muscle.
"You can build must as much muscle using a 20-pound weight as you can using an 80-pound weight," said Pakulski.
Also, the expert suggested working out with intention. What this means is that you should know exactly which muscles you plan to exercise, and evaluate if you feel like your workout is straining those muscles.
