Answer 4

Weightlifting is dangerous. Using improper technique, using too much weight, or overtraining can all lead to serious injury. Pre-existing medical conditions can also make weightlifting hazardous, so always consult your physician.

Weightlifting is tiring. While exercise is most effective in the morning, it can leave you wiped for the rest of the day, particularly if you use your muscles a lot in a physical job.

Weightlifting requires dedication. Lifting only when it's convenient once or twice a week is unlikely to yield the results that you're seeking. Also, you will need to purchase the equipment or a gym membership.

Weightlifting can be boring. If you don't mix up your routine, you (and your muscles) may get bored of the repetition and results will diminish.
