Pardon Me, But Can You Hand Me My Lumbar Back. Bodybuilding By Kevin Doberstein CFT, Thu Dec 8th
After being in the gym business for the past 17 years I haveseen my share of lifters getting hurt. A majority of theinjuries are shoulder related from bench pressing. Othersinclude lower back spasms from deadlifting and squatting, tornbiceps from a preacher curl and sore joints. I had a fewinjuries myself. I had a major one some years ago in my upperback/shoulder area. I was doing behind the neck shoulder pressesand all of a sudden I heard a pop and then radiating pain. Thenext week I barely could bench an empty bar. It took months torecover from that uninviting setback. The next thing I askedmyself is what caused this horrific injury and how to not let ithappen again. I was training six days a week at the time and came to theconclusion I was drastically overtraining. I wasn’t giving mybody enough time to recover from the last workout. Lets go over some important issues to help prevent injuries.Make sure to warm up before hitting it hard. Do a little cardioto get the blood moving and some light stretching. Don’t lifttoo much right away.
It is best to follow a good cycle or periodization program. Acycle program varies the weight used and the number of reps eachweek. Use a lifting program that works the complete body. Thiswill help prevent muscle imbalance. Did you ever see a lifter that only benches and works his arms.They start to look hunchback because their chest muscles are alot stronger than their back. The stronger chest muscles pulltogether. Mix up your routine at least once a month with newexercises. Keep it fresh. Make sure to fuel your starving muscles after you workout withthe right nutrition. This will help you recover faster and getready for the next workout. Principles of injury prevention. Warm up properly beforelifting. Don’t stay on a continuous regimentDon’t lift too much to fast. Stay on abodybuilding diet. Don’t Overtrain. Work thewhole body to prevent muscle imbalance Since I learned the error of my ways, I haven’t had a seriousinjury from since. I not saying following theseprinciples will totally stop injuries. But it will help preventthem. Kevin Doberstein is a Certified Fitness Trainer living innorthern WI.
