n Use the illustrations and descriptions for each exercise as a guide
to make sure you do the right technique. For exercises done in a
standing position, the feet should be shoulder-width apart for good
balance and with the toes pointing slightly outward.
n When using stack weights or a barbell, hold the bar with the
thumbs facing in toward one another unless noted otherwise.
If the bar should be held with the thumbs facing out, this will be
stated in the exercise description.
n Work with a partner. You can spot one another and provide
technique guidance and encouragement. This is especially important
for safety on free-weight exercises like bench press and squats.
n Do not sacrifice proper technique in order to increase the
training load.
