Start your lifting journey the right way in 3 simple steps:
A big mistake beginners make in the gym is thinking that being in the gym leads to gaining muscle and losing fat
This is false
You’ll waste a lot of time and effort in the gym if you don’t know what you’re doing
Good news is, these 3 steps get you started on the right path:
1. Find a good, structured workout program
A good workout program:
- hits all the major muscles
- a mix of compound and isolation exercises
- has at least 10 sets per muscle group per week
- has simple, PROVEN exercises (not useless movements that look interesting on instagram)
Start using the same workout programs I use and never get embarrassed taking your shirt off again
Don’t waste time and effort doing the wrong exercises with the wrong plan

2. Finding the right weight
Start with a low weight
If the set is easy & you have perfect form – add more weight
Add more weight until the sets are difficult (hard to get the last few reps) but you’re maintaining good form
Then:
3. Progressive overload
This is the key to building muscle
You need to train harder in each session – where possible
Ways you can do this is:
– adding reps
– adding weight
– slowing down reps
Don’t miss this:
Always focus on having good form
Good form’s more important than a heavier weight
Bad form leads to injuries and takes the emphasis off the muscle you’re tryna train
