Muscle Building, The Best Tips To Avoid Gym Injuries
There's a lot of mistakes you can perform during a bodybuilding routine in the gym. If you want huge muscles, there's no other option but workout. You have to overload those muscles with heavy weight and high intensity if you want to see real results. This is without a doubt the most effective means of stimulating muscular growth.
An injury is the absolute last thing you could ever hope for, as it will stop you dead in your muscle-building tracks. Down below I'm going to outline my "5 golden rules" when it comes to minimizing the risk of injury. If you can honestly say that you implement all 5 of these into your training program, then your risk of getting hurt will be much lower than someone who does not.
1) Before you start your routine perform a proper warmup. There are 2 main reasons to perform it: If you don't warmup adequately, your chances of injury will increase dramatically. And it will also affect the amount of weight that you are able to lift during your actual workout. When you perform the warmup in the right way, your possibilities to lift heavier weights increase. This will stimulate your heart and lungs. It will also increase the secretion of synovial fluid lubricating your joints.
2) Always train with proper form. This should go without saying. Every exercise that you perform in the gym should be done with proper form and technique in order to keep the stress off of your joints. If you start squatting or deadlifting with a rounded back, jerking the weights around in a ballistic manner or performing dangerous exercises you are almost guaranteed to hurt yourself at some point.
3) Always train within your own personal limits. Weightlifting is a personal battle, and letting your ego take over is almost always a recipe for disaster. It doesn't matter what the guy next to you is benching and it is completely irrelevant to your training program. You must always use weights that you can handle and control with proper form, and if you start piling on the plates to impress the people around you, you'll be stretching your limits and putting yourself in a very vulnerable position.
4) Find your own limits. When you can move your arms (or legs) another inch, it's maybe time to take some rest. If don't do it so, you will not perform your next set in the best conditions, and your effort will not be maximum. So, what you will get in that set is nothing but poor results and, perhaps, an injury.
5) Never ignore your aches and pains. When you're motoring along through a training program and are making progress from week to week, the idea of quitting just seems impossible. This can sometimes lead us to ignore those obvious injuries and pretend as if they aren't really there as we often "work through" the pain and hope that it magically disappears.
In the next articles i'll teach you the specific way to perform a proper weightlifting warmup (something that the most of the lifters in the gym does not recognize nowadays), which will not only greatly decrease your chances of injury but will also result in virtually instant strength increases for your major exercises. - 17274
