Keeping Great Form

Don’t Lift What You Can’t
Many men, especially when working out in front of other men or even in front of women, want to show off. You may think that it is in your nature to do this. However, a great injury prevention tip is that you don’t lift what you can’t. Lifting an amount of weights that is so difficult for you that you practically feel your muscles tearing is a no-go with weight lifting training. Yes, you should push yourself to lift more weights over time. However, you should not go from lifting 20 pounds one day and the next day lifting 100 pounds.Intensity Levels
Another thing to pay attention to if you want to prevent injury when lifting weights is your intensity level. You may be trying to rush through your weight lifting reps so you can get onto another set. The progress you make isn’t about how many sets you do necessarily. It is again about keeping that proper form and lifting what you are able to do. You should be intense when working out and lifting weights but only to the extent as you feel just slightly out of your comfort zone.You Won’t Feel it All at Once
