Anyone doing free weights at a gym?

Hey

I do circuits including free weights & kettlebells to keep my heart rate up - my diary is open I have a look at my session from yesterday. I dont always log it in as much detail but feel free to ask if you want.

My only advise is make sure your posture is right - the number of times I see guys try kettlebells swings with the heavier weights & terrible back shape - not surprisingly they do themselves an injury. Same for deadlifts - do NOT try heavy lifts until you know your in the correct position my cousin had back surgery last week following an ongoing injury from poor posture (yes he is an idiot & didnt listen to people). It might be worth speaking with some of the trainers or staff at the gym for tips.

Good luck.

I use my free weights at home. I was just working out with dumb bells during curls, overheads, flys and presses, but just last week I got a brand new bench and weight set and I'm SO excited about using it!

For me personally, I prefer working out at home because I can leave my weights set up the way I want them. Plus, given the fact that it takes me a tad bit longer to get in place and get going due to being in a chair, I don't have to worry about taking too much time and keeping someone else from using the equipment.

I lift three days a week and started lifting 2 months ago. Definitely have a plan and track your progress.

I use a blend of free weights and some machines after the free weights.

I do strength training a couple times a week, and I mix it up. If at home I'll do a Supreme 90 DVD, when I'm at the gym I'll do the 1-2-3 Strive Strength machines some days, free weights on the other days. So, you are not alone!
