You do not need to keep them forever; you just need them just enough to train

you to do these exercises well.

It can be tempted to find the personal trainer you fancy or like the look of.
Instead, look for the personal trainer who proactively interacts with their clients

checking the form and helping them improve, instead of a trainer who looks
vacantly into space or on their phone while someone does the exercise.

If you have been trained to do these exercises well, it can also help get top-up

lessons after a while.

After COVID is done, I will be finding a coach as I believe my form is no longer
good enough, and I need to be retaught a good form of exercise.

Beginner

If you are a beginner, you might think the form is not that important, but the
more weight you start to push, the more critical form becomes. Doing an
overhead shoulder press with 40kg compared to 10kg is far more unforgiving of

mistakes.

Excercise so it hurts

When you want to build muscle, you want to be exercising, so the final reps are

painful (reps are one iteration of an exercise – i.e. one pushup).

So if you do a session and do not sweat and feel no pain, you are probably not
working hard enough. Bodybuilding is painful – and you need to learn to

channel the pain.

From a BDSM point of view with often need to channel the pain we can feel as
slaves. A similar technique to bodybuilding works very well.

But saying that, if you are entirely new to bodybuilding – start slowly and

slowly build up your stamina. Going too intense too quickly means you might
injure yourself.
