#2. DON’T EGO LIFT
It’s 101 stuff, right? When you’re using heavy weight use collars (or clamps). And don’t try to ego lift.

A new study published in the New York Times found that using light to medium weight can be just as effective in building muscle and strength as heavy weight. Going lighter is easier on your joints and tendons, too.
