I am very much still at the beginning of my health and fitness journey. While I have been going to the gym for the past few months and lost a lot of weight, so far I only used machines. I want to start incorporating free weights as I focus more on building muscle but I don’t know where to start.

Free weights seem very daunting to me, I have heard and read so many horror stories about injuries when using improper form while using free weights that I don’t really know where to start and then how to improve.

    The thing with free weights is you don’t just start doing them at a weight that actually builds muscle and challenges you. You start off light with lots of repetitions to build the proper form and memory. Increasing slowly as you learn the form and commit to it.
