When it comes to training, there is one thing that is often overlooked and not very commonly discussed: Injury prevention.
This is extremely important! We all tend to stay distractedly focused on our lofty gain goals (which there is nothing wrong with lofty gain goals) or on our desire to lose those last few vanity pounds, that we neglect and then sometimes end up regretting the need for proactive injury prevention.
It is very simple to help facilitate injury free training but you do need to be mindful and implement it!
Not only are you missing a vital part of the GROWTH equation, you are setting yourself up for being prone to injury. I won’t say you need to spend 20 minutes doing static stretches and finish it with foam rolling every training session. But I will say that you need to consider what you just trained and do some static stretches to facilitate blood flow, recovery, GROWTH and range of motion. How many times have you went to squat and your hip flexors were so tight that you weren’t even able to perform a correct squat?
IF you will take the time to stretch the muscles worked you will find that your next workout won’t be so terrible when you are trying to get ready to move your weight. Which makes me want you to go back to point 3 and reread.
Happy Training!
