Perform 10 minutes or so of stretching exercises, such as touching toes, spread obstacles, turning at the waist and your arm fully in all directions. before doing any exercises that involve using weights (biceps curls, for example) make a game half (50%) of weight you use to prepare the muscles, tendons and ligaments to execute the exercise to better manage heavier weight. Start simple: when you get to the gym and is ready to hit the weights, a select amount of weight at first seems almost too light, but provides some resistance for each exercise. Remember that the right way, posture and technique are far more important than the amount of weight you use. In addition, you must give your connective tissue (tendons and ligaments) time to strengthen to help prevent injuries caused by the heavy weight you'll use later.
