Always warm up before you lift.
Do core lifts before auxillary lifts.
When in doubt, seek instruction on what to do.
Use full range of motion.

Definitions
• Reps:
– Repetition, one complete movement of a
particular exercise
• Set:
– A group of consecutive reps performed in
succession
– For strength: higher weight/ 6-8 reps
– For tone/sculpt: lower weight/ 15-25 reps
Weight Room Etiquette
• Put all weights back after use (even if you found them in
the wrong place)
• Wipe down all benches and machines after use.
• Be aware that others are waiting to use the machine or
bench that you are on. Do the exercise and move on.
• Do not drop the weights or let the weight plates bang
together.
• Grunting or screaming out during the lift is not necessary.
• The weight room is cleaned up after all classes. All need to
help.
Safety Rules
• Never fool around in the weight room. Improper use can result in
physical harm.
• Always use proper form/technique while lifting. If not, injury can
occur.
• Make sure there are no obstructions in your lifting area.
• Wear proper footwear to ensure stability.
• Make sure collars are secure in the machine before you lift.
• Follow proper progression of weight advancement for each exercise.
• Avoid the temptation to lift as much as you can.
• Concentrate on the exercise that you are performing. Do not carry out
conversations at the same time. Concentrate on breathing.
• Stay in control of the lift at all times. Movements should be smooth.
• Always work with a spotter for bench press, squats, leg press and any
other exercise that you need assistance with.
