Episode 2667:

Nia Shanks offers four practical tips to ensure strength training feels great and doesn't leave you feeling achy. By slowing down reps, using joint-friendly equipment, focusing on form, and varying workout splits, you can train effectively, stay healthy, and continue making progress without pain.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://niashanks.com/tips-feel-great-strength-training/

Quotes to ponder:

"Slow down your reps by taking approximately 2-3 seconds to perform the lowering portion of the exercise."

"If you ever feel beat up from heavy barbell workouts, try using dumbbells, cable machines, a suspension trainer, and bodyweight exercises instead and see how you feel."

"Reduce the weight a bit and put 100% effort into every single rep you perform. Sounds simple, but it works, and it can make you feel great."
