There are few things they don’t tell you about weightlifting:
- stretching is critical and takes time, without stretching you’ll eventually injure yourself.
- eventually you’ll get some minor injury and will have to manage that and wait for it to heal.
- start by getting a coach to specifically learn good from and find your max weights for different lifts. Strictly control trainer’s desire to add some non-core exercises, once good form is established, dismiss the trainer.
