Since late 2017, Thomas Strilko has worked as vice president for XIFIN, Inc. found in San Diego, California. Outside of the office, Thomas Strilko enjoys weight lifting.
To get the most out of weight lifting, beginners need to learn how to do it properly. That way they can get the most out of the exercise.
* Rest between sets. The amount of time between sets depending upon the intensity that beginners lift. For instance, if beginners do 12 to 15 reps, then they should rest a shorter amount of time, say 45 to 75 seconds. For one to five reps, beginners should rest two to five minutes. The amount of rest has to do with energy. The more reps done with lighter weight means the body will recover faster.
* Know your weight limit. Beginners should lift at least 70 to 75 percent of their maximum weight. Lifting higher than that will work muscular endurance. Lifting weights lighter than that won’t help beginners build muscle.
* Have a nutrition plan. After beginners train, they should eat a meal containing different types of carbohydrates. The food should have high, medium, and limited amount of glycemic carbohydrates. Beginners should also eat protein, with a post-workout meal having .2 times the person’s body weight.
