So, make it as important as training itself.

4. Always warm-up. Going straight to training by missing up warm up process is one of the prior causes of injuries. The role of warmup is to prepare your body for further weight trainings. It should take no more than 10-15 minutes and include cardio exercises.

7. Ask the help. There is nothing wrong or shameful in asking for help. Anytime you are not sure about how to do something ask the opinion of people more experienced than you. Also, if you are not sure about your power, ask someone to assist while doing pushups. It is natural and even recommended to want someone near you when you train with more than average weight.

8. Pay attention to your body signs. Needless to say, that if you feel that you have to take a pause, then take it. A few seconds pause between sets is very beneficial for you. ALso, discontinue the exercise if you feel pain. This is not normal and if you continue to train than you just aggravate a health problem that it is already. Take a pause of few days, if pain persists is time to get for doctor advice.
