Ananya Panday recently amused her Instafam after she shared a video lifting 120 kg weight while doing hip thrusts. The video soon went viral in which the actor can be seen training with heavy weights. She captioned the post, "120 kg weeee. What doesn't kill you makes you you [flexing muscle and melting face emojis]."
If you are also training with heavy weights, here are a few safety precautions you can take when lifting kilos at the gym.
1. Proper form and technique
Always use the correct form to avoid strain and injury. Keep your back straight, engage your core, and lift with your legs rather than your back. A personal trainer can help you master those basic movement patterns, which set the stage for many of the exercises you’ll be doing.
2. Start light
If you are just starting with weights, begin on a light note. Once you master the technique, you can move to heavy weights.
3. Get proper equipements
Another key factor you should keep in mind is getting proper equipment when lifting heavy weights. Ideally, you’ll have three sets: a light, moderate, and a heavy
4. Don't rush the process
Lift weights slowly and deliberately, avoiding any sudden or jerky movements that could lead to injury.
5. Pay attention to your body
If you feel pain or discomfort, stop immediately and assess the situation. Avoid lifting if you're tired, sore, or unwell.
