Do not start an exercise or a workout machine with high level of
intensity just to prove a point among your friends or to impress a girl
working out next to you. The weights will hit back. How?! – Definitely
not in the nose, NO; but directly to your weakest muscles thus
initiating an injury.
As I said before, be polite to them. Start an exercise with small
weights or level, and then if you feel strong enough to increase, do it;
if not, overcome the starting level and then increase when feel ready. A
normal weight gap between sets is 10 kg (22lb) for barbell exercise
(that’s 5kg (11lb) on each side); for a dumbbell exercise its around 4-5
kg. If you feel 5 kg is too much, then make a 2, 5 kg gap. But make
sure you work with a 5 kg gap as you progress further.
Overreacting with Weights is bad:
When you place a weight on a barbell, do it with caution (especially
with heavier weights). Improper handling with barbell weights can twist
your wrists while placing them on the sides. Usually, 5 kg (11 lb) are
handled with one arm, that’s ok; but for safety reasons place a 5kg
weight on a barbell with two hands. All other weights should be placed
with two hands. Don’t act cool and handle the weights with one arm.
Always return the weights back to their stationary racks. A clean Gym
is a Safe Gym. People trip from weights on the floor all the time.
Imagine what can happen if you trip on a weight and land on a workout
machine the wrong way! Every gym should have a sign: SAFETY FIRST!
