Strength training crash course

Hi there! If you've found your way to this document, you've likely seen my talk on "Refactoring your health", where I don't go into too much detail on how to do weight training. This page is my attempt to provide one more layer of information to get you started. Some opening caveats:

I am not a trainer or medical professional - this is based on what I have learned and what I personally prefer. You should start new fitness activities with the advice and support of a medical professional.
The most important part of strength training (especially for beginners) is consistency and injury prevention. Start small and build up slowly but steadily. You will get where you want to go eventually, but it requires time and patience.

Let's cover some basic parameters for strength training, and then dive into some specific techniques.
