Witajcie! Witajcie! Zainspirowany komentarzem użytkownika syrena_elektro postanowiłem napisać kilka rad i wskazówek dla ludzi którzy chcą zacząć uczęszczać na siłownie. Sam specem w temacie nie jestem jednak postaram się podzielić z Wami tym czego nauczyłem się podczas 1.5 roku swoich treningów na profesjonalnej siłowni a później swojej własnej domowej. Wiedzę czerpałem najpierw od instruktorów a później z internetu, w większości przypadków z forum sfd.pl + własne doświadczenia, próby i eksperymenty. Jeśli napiszę jakąś bzdurę, fachowcy niech mnie poprawią.
