Hi Jonathan
I do a weights workout twice a week as i have a bad back and i have a couple of important points for you

- Keep your stomach muscles tight (breathe in and see how they feel, this is how you should hold them when you are doing the exercises)
- A general rule is when you are exerting force (ie pulling down on a lat pull down) breath out when you are releasing breathe in
- If you are doing tricep curls or anything that uses neck muscles if you put your tongue on the roof of your mouth it takes some of the strain off (don't ask me why but it works)
- keep your back straight! so important

xx
