    Good for you on going a bit heavier until you get to something difficult. Be careful though on lifting with proper form. You may be better off going a bit lighter until you have the correct form memorized.

    This is less of an issue for isolation work, but for compound movements, it's essential that you get your form right before you load up with something that might be a bit too much.

    If you squat with an empty barbell for several sessions, even if it's relatively easy, you will do better when you are under a load. The worst thing you can do is curve that spine, knock your knees together and strain something on the way up because you were going too heavy for good form. That way lies pain and the gnashing of teeth!

    Look up the exercises you plan to do on youtube with the word tutorial and you will likely find good examples with tips. Then have someone watch you, don't rely on your reflection in the pump and pose mirror!

    Good luck!
