Some training mistakes you’re making when lifting weights

Working muscles until they howl in protest and will no longer lift another gram isn’t the way to increase strength. All this does is deplete your fast-twitch fibres – which are the key to lean growth. Instead, knock back the kilos you’re lifting to a number where you can actually finish all the reps in every set. Working body weight? It’s better to finish six sets of two chin-ups than have an incomplete roster of four sets of three.
