How often should I do this?

Twice a week, with at least one rest day between sessions. Two quality days you actually show up for beats five you skip.

Should I worry about how much weight to lift?

No. Start lighter than you think and nail your form first. You can always add weight next week, you can't un-tweak a back.

Do I need to warm up?

Yes. Spend 5–10 minutes getting your heart rate up and your joints moving before the first set. It prevents injuries and makes the work feel better.

How do I keep making progress?

Over time you can add a little, one more rep, slightly more weight, or cleaner form. But there's no rush: staying at the same weight for several weeks is completely fine. Consistency and good form matter far more than constantly adding load.

How fast should my reps be?

Controlled. Lower the weight slowly, move through the full range of motion, and don't use momentum. Slow and clean beats fast and sloppy.

What about rest between sets?

One minute to 90 seconds, as the plan says. Enough to recover, not so long you cool off.

Do I need to change how I eat?

Generally, eating enough and including a source of protein with your meals supports recovery from training. This isn't nutrition advice, everyone's needs are different, so talk to a doctor or registered dietitian for a plan that fits you.

How important is sleep?

Huge. Aim for 7–9 hours. Muscle is repaired and built while you rest, not while you train.

Should I be drinking more water?

Yes, stay hydrated through the day, not just during the workout. Even mild dehydration saps strength and focus.

What if something hurts?

Know the difference between muscle soreness (normal) and sharp or joint pain (stop). When in doubt, back off and check with a doctor.
