sorry, english is not my first language. does that make you feel better? i'd be happy to critique your french or german.

im just trying to provide you with helpful information and prevent injury down the road. anyone who has been going to the gym regularly, or is a pro athlete would tell you the same info.

the vast majority of people at my gym do the same as you because they were never told any better. the result is they barely see any progress.

on the other hand, ive seen people lifting properly since day one (they had someone help them out or they learned about it) and they put on muscle, lost fat and made significant performance increases

look up starting strength for a good beginners guide, once you're tired of seeing mediocre and little to no progress
