YOUR WEIGHTS

The mistake As you improve, you don’t increase the weights you’re working with and fail to challenge yourself.

The solution If you’re new to squatting, start with a simple bodyweight squat, but as you improve, add extra weights by lifting kettlebells or dumbbells. If you’re confident, a weighted bar is more advanced. For maximum benefit, opt for a heavier weight, but start with fewer reps and build up. If you’re doing 10 reps but you could get to 15, then it’s not heavy enough.
