Tips for weightlifting while bodybuilding:

Warm up: You must always do a routine cardio before moving on to the heavier weightlifting exercises. You can also use warm up sets with light weights and high repetitions.

Select suitable weights: Settling down for a suitable weight that allows you to complete the desired number of reps is a great technique. Lifting heavier weights than what your body is capable of handling can lead to injury of the tendons and ligaments of the muscle.

Breathe:  While performing the positive or concentric part of the exercise you must breathe out and breathe in while performing the eccentric or negative part. Never hold your breath.

Control: Maintain full control of the weight throughout the movement. Partial movements develop strength only in a particular portion and slow the rate of overall progress. This also tends to increase the risk of injury.

Focus: Do not get distracted by anything else in the middle on a weightlifting workout as this can result in an accident or a fatal injury. Do not exercise if your mind is preoccupied or you have other concerns.

Count: In order to adjust the pace of training, you must count to two when you lift and to three as you lower the weight.  Hold the fully constricted position for a count of one nut return to the starting position slowly without relaxing.

Visualize: This aids in enabling your target muscle relax and contract further helping you to perform the workout easily and help you do more reps.

One must focus on both the concentric and eccentric part of the exercise to gain maximum benefit.
