2. Push Yourself—But Smartly
It’s important to challenge yourself without risking injury. Know the difference between discomfort and pain. Muscle burn is normal; sharp pain is not. Always track your weight and progress gradually. Don’t over do it to soon, small increases lead to big gains.
3. Leverage the Group for Motivation
Training with others can push you further, but it should be constructive. Train at your level, and avoid unhealthy comparisons. Encourage and support your training partners to stay motivated. Feed off the energy of the group to push through tough sets.
4. Prioritize Recovery
Your body needs time to adapt and grow stronger. Get 7-9 hours of sleep. Fuel your body with proper nutrition. Incorporate mobility work to prevent stiffness and injuries.
