A member asked:
When lifting weights, is it better to start heavy or light or without any?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start slowly: Always start slowly with lighter weight and use good form. Vary the intensity and don't work the same body part more than 2 times per week. Increase weight once you can achieve 10-12 reps and do 3 sets.
