How to train with Free Weights

Free Weights is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment in the gym, hitting multiple muscle groups with a single setup. It rewards good form and progressive overload, making it a staple for both beginner and advanced programs.

Combine compound lifts with focused isolation work to round out a session. Track your weights and reps over time to make sure each workout adds load, volume or quality compared to the last.
