8. Stretch & flex<br />

Stretching both be<strong>for</strong>e you lift and afterwards helps avoid aching muscle pain<br />

the next day. Stretching and flexing your muscles during your workout<br />

between lifts keeps blood flowing in your muscles and helps prevent injury.<br />

9. Keep proper posture<br />

If you’re doing lots of lifting, but using poor technique, you’re wasting your<br />

time. Ask your training partner to critique your technique, or work out in front<br />

of a mirror.<br />

<strong>10</strong>. Practice proper nutrition<br />

Remember the GIGO principle: Garbage in, garbage out! Drinking a whey<br />

protein shake right after working out helps your body build muscle (without<br />

enough protein you can’t build muscle mass) but nutritional supplements<br />

won’t replace eating right and doing the hard work of doing the lifting itself.<br />
