Tips for Beginners. Many people worry that strength training can make them look muscular. However, although it is possible to build muscle through weight work if it is done with more reps and less weight can be achieved more strength, speed and tone muscle mass increase. And if this is done in reverse, ie, less reps and more weight can be achieved by a greater volume of muscle, strength also, but this way you become slower.
Those who work regularly with weights frequently mention the muscle burning sensation you feel when the muscles are close to the point of absolute fatigue or what is the same, the limit of their capacity for work, this is the famous work anaerobic. While the work done after reaching this point will produce an additional benefit, the consequences will be of greater muscle pain the next day and greater risk of injury to overcome muscular capacity.

Basic rules for injury prevention
Overtraining not. Like any other type of physical activity on strength training should be done gradually. Reduce or not further increase the load if you feel unwell during or after a work session. Only increase the workload (weight or reps) when you notice that it does not fatigue with which it is made.
When using the machines seek advice from someone experienced. If it is in a gym, it monitor the weight room that teach you how to use the machines with proper technique and setting loads both in the beginning and increase them when.
If you intend to lift heavy loads with free weights, always with someone who can help if the load is too heavy. Your muscles and joints are more vulnerable to injury if they have to bear excessive weight when fatigued.
