Strength Training For Beginners

If you are starting out and are looking to gain strength, you want to stick to the 4 main compound exercises: Bench press, Squat, Shoulder press and Deadlift. 3 sets of 10 will do for now after a warm up. How much weight should you use? Experiment with different weights and chose ones that you can do safely for about 10 reps.

Dynamic warm up V static stretching

Personally, I feel both have their place. While sprinting, we would perform dynamic stretches after a warm up jog and static stretches after our session. When doing static stretches after a workout do not stretch too far as that may tear a muscle as your muscles will have been contracted.
