Getting Started with Lifting

• Vinnie shares one of his biggest mistakes in weight training. (3:30)
• Going to failure every time is not a good idea.
• What is a “set” and a “rep”? (14:15)
  • What matters is the amount of time under pressure. (19:30)
  • Look at the rep's quality and keep your form correct.
• Is there a particular approach to starting based on gender, age, or other factors? (28:00)
  • Age can be a factor, but experience is the real factor.
  • Vinnie describes how to gauge if you are lifting enough weight for you. (29:00)
• How frequently are you supposed to hit each muscle group? (32:00)
  • Hitting each group more than a couple of times a week is enough to gain strength. More isn’t necessarily better.
• Vinnie discusses his 2-day routine, which is available for purchase here. (POST LINK TO WORKOUTS) (37:00)
  • If you are an NSNG^® VIP Member, these workouts are FREE.
  • There are multiple versions of the workouts, each with a PDF for printing.
• What’s the best way to keep track of what you are doing and how you are progressing? (41:00)
