Weightlifting is one of the most effective ways to build muscle and strength. While it is important to use proper form and technique while lifting, it is also important to use the appropriate equipment to ensure safety.

When it comes to pre-workout supplements (often referred to as just a pre-workout), there are two main types: stim and non-stim.

Many people struggle to develop a bigger bench press despite going up in weight and increasing the number of times they bench per week. They often push harder, not knowing they’ve reached the dreaded “plateau”.
