Muscle Gain Forum

Elbow position’s key—keep ‘em under the bar, not flared.
I warm up with face pulls too—keeps my shoulders solid even at 135 lbs.

Knee caves on squats—saw a newbie almost collapse the bar! Hips back and knees out, folks.
Start light to groove the pattern.

NewbieGains, try a deload—drop to 60-70% of your max for a week, then build back up.
I also mix in drop sets to shock my system—works every time.

StrongLifts is great for beginners—linear progression builds strength fast.
Pair it with eating enough (aim for 0.8g protein/lb bodyweight).
Starting Strength is another option if you want more focus on technique early.
