Weight training is one type of strength training using weights as the

as those of strength training. It involves a manipulation of the
numbers of reps, sets, tempo, exercise types, and weight moved to
cause desired increases in strength, endurance, size, or shape.

“jump right in”. You need to build up your strength and over-working
your muscles can cause more harm than good. Some of your muscles
might be naturally stronger than others. Building up slowly allows
muscles to develop appropriate strengths relative to each other.
