Lifting Heavy Weights

Everybody should lift weights, for the people who think that lifting weights are dangerous, they're not as dangerous as not doing any physical activity at all.
If your muscles get stronger from lifting weights, it will only aid you in your life.

Here are a few reasons why to lift heavy weights.

• Helps with building muscle.
• Helps with losing fat.
• It keeps your metabolism higher even when resting.
• If you do it correctly, it will improve strength, health, posture.
• It prevents injuries by strengthening your muscle and bones.

Even if you are fat, you still want to lift weights, and no, lifting will not make you look like a bodybuilder, it will build muscle and burn fat which will make you look better.
If your goal body is the body of a dancer, swimmer, Olympic athlete etc. then lifting is seriously the answer to all that, if you do not think so, it'd be advised to start reading another guide, one that spreads false information.

Weight lifting has 3 key components. 

Keeping it balanced: Arms, legs, core, chest and the back, these are the parts you need to work out, try to do compound workouts (workouts that work more muscles at a time) instead of focusing on specific body-parts, a healthy body is one that progresses naturally, a balanced body.

Avoiding Injury: Learn more about proper form, watch videos, take videos of yourself and compare. Lifting without proper form is bad lifting, lifting that can hurt you.

Train progressively: As a beginner, you should add weight to your exercises every week. If you don’t add weight over time, your body is not going to change. It is an adaption process. You lift heavy, your body adapts to the stress. Try to keep track of your lifts.


You should lift about 3 times a week, try to do as many compound exercises as you can, keep good form and doing about 3 sets of 5-8 repetitions each.
