Train to Your Current Capability, Not Your Ego
The most important thing beginners need to know about strength training isn't about which exercises to do or even proper form (though those matter). It's about understanding the "training to failure" principle—but applying it correctly.
When you're just starting out, it's tempting to load up the bar or grab heavy weights to impress others or yourself. But true strength is built by challenging your muscles appropriately, not overloading them prematurely.
Train just shy of failure—where you can complete all prescribed repetitions with good form, but the last 2-3 reps are genuinely challenging. This approach builds a foundation of strength while minimizing injury risk.
Remember: The strongest people in the gym started somewhere too. They built their impressive strength through consistent, appropriate progressive overload—not by maxing out on day one.
