I've noticed some people lift weights very quickly while others take their time with every repetition. As a beginner I'm not sure which style I should follow. Should I focus on lifting slowly or is normal speed better for building good technique?
Focus on controlled movements instead of speed
Don't use momentum to move the weight
Lowering the weight slowly can help you control it
You don't need to make every repetition extremely slow
Quality reps are better than rushing through a set
Start with a weight you can handle properly
Keep the movement smooth from beginning to end
Technique should come before trying to lift heavier
