New to the gym or curious about strength training? Weightlifting is a powerful way to build muscle, boost metabolism, and improve overall health. Beginners should start with light weights and focus on learning proper form. It’s smart to begin with compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and presses, which work multiple muscle groups at once.
You don’t need fancy equipment to get started, just a barbell or dumbbells, comfortable clothes, and a safe space to lift. Consider working with a coach or following a beginner program to avoid injury and track progress. As you gain strength, you can gradually increase the weight and explore different lifting styles like Olympic lifting or powerlifting.
