Muscle building tips for your Craftsman weight machine

• Consult with your physician before beginning any muscle building exercise routine on the weight machine.
• Start by stretching muscles and exercising lightly before lifting heavy weights to avoid injury. A warm-up routine increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for muscle building.
• Lift weights that work your muscles near their maximum capacity and progressively increase the workout intensity by adding weight or changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. You'll typically begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each lifting routine with 3 minute rest periods between sets.
• Increase weight when you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions for a lifting routine.
