Pain and Injury

When I was younger, and began my interest in bodybuilding, I found I was prone to numerous injuries. Hurting my shoulder and the worst, the most painful, ripping my left lat. At the time I wasn't very sure why I was so prone to some very painful injuries, but looking back now I can see that a these were due to a combination of bad form and too much weight. It always looks good to load the bar, but if there is too much weight, your form will suffer and you can do yourself serious injury. Luckily, I have recovered from both of these injuries with no adverse affects.

Now I look at the form first, and concentrate on feeling the muscle work, rather than going for the large poundage. Result? I'm seeing good strong and balanced growth. And surprising I'm moving larger poundage than I would expect so early back into my training.

As for my recent injuries?

So far my only injury I've received since being back in the gym, is a ruptured capillary on my eye, nothing seriously thankfully.

Stay strong.
