Be calming down!
If you visit the gym consistently, you'll find this group of people who people stare at because of the volume of weight they lift. Now, keep in mind that they didn't get there overnight. So yeah, resist the urge to step up your weight game before time. This is crucial to avoid injury. Besides, if you get hurt, the most you'd get is sorry. Like we say in Nigeria, "no go de do pass yourself!" A while back, I saw a clip of someone who nearly died because he somehow convinced himself to attempt to add 20 kg to his barbell weight. It's just ridiculous. Even if you've been training for a while, you could still get hurt. So, be guided. "You should add the weights progressively rather than abruptly." He was lucky someone was there to spot him. That leads to another crucial point. It's okay to have someone spot you. This is regardless of how long you've been training. It's not for competition but rather to ensure proper execution of the exercise. Your form could be wrong, thereby wasting your reps. So yeah, it's okay to have someone by your side. In other words, swallow your ego and be safety conscious. Learn Unlearn Relearn
