Try not to put your body through unnatural movements, like arching a lot
or lifting with a curved spine.
POOR TECHNIQUE
The most frequent weight training injuries are due to poor exercise
technique. It can pull, rip or wrench a muscle, or even tear delicate
connective tissue extremely fast.
CONCENTRATE
Working out while you’re distracted or tired you’re more likely to get
injured. More concentration equals to more poundage and that will lead
to more growth. If you won’t pay attention, you can get hurt.
::SAFETY ::
BACK PROTECTION
If
you have back problems, the first thing you should do is get a weight
belt. It will limit your movement, thus maintaining proper form, as you
gradually get more tired during a set. It helps you aim the muscle you
want to exercise and reduces the risk of injury.
PREVENT INJURIES
Stretching increases flexibility thus making you less prone to injuries.
The explanation for this is that a muscle/tendon group with a bigger
range of motion passively, will experience tears less when used
actively.
