More on goals

One of the most frustrating things about starting a new weight lifting programs is all the misinformation that is out there. There’s so much conflicting advice about supplements, work out plans, and everything else. How do you sift through all this information?

Well first of all, you should ask yourself what your goal is. If your main desire is to build strength and physical fitness, you need to follow a simple program of progressive resistance training. In other words, you need to challenge your muscles by gradually lifting heavier and heavier weights. If you’re a skinny guy or gal who is desperate to gain weight, then one of your main concerns is to consume more calories than your body is burning.
