Start Light, Focus on Form, Build a Foundation
Starting light and focusing on form when beginning a new workout routine, like barbell squats and deadlifts, is crucial to prevent injury and build proper muscle memory. By starting with lighter weights, individuals can concentrate on mastering the correct technique, which not only trains the mind and muscles for proper movement but also strengthens smaller stabilizing muscles. This gradual approach helps in avoiding instability and weakness, gradually building a solid foundation of strength for future progress in training.
