Weightlifting tips from Kaylee Focus on form: Prioritize proper technique and body mechanics before increasing resis- tance. Executing movements with correct form improves muscle activation and minimiz- es the risk of injury. Start with compound movements, finish with accessory work: Begin your workout with movements that engage multiple muscle groups and joints, such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. Conclude with isolation exercises, like bicep curls, calf raises, and lateral raises. Develop the mind-muscle connection: Actively feeling your muscles contract and stretch throughout each repetition enhances motor control, improves form, and promotes better muscle activation. Incorporate flexibility and mobility: This supports proper joint function, increases range of motion, and enhances exercise execution. These practices reduce the risk of injury, cor- rect muscular imbalances, and aid in recovery and long-term strength development.
