Staying Injury Free Is The Key To Enjoying A Healthy Weight Training Routine For Many Years To Come.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As your get older you need to respect your body more when you exercise. While a young body is very forgiving and can withstand a lot of use and abuse. Older joints, tendons, and ligaments are not so forgiving. <\/p>\n

If you are not careful you can easily end up with strained muscles, aches, pains, tendonitis, joint pain and other nagging injuries. If you are taking the time to read this blog post than I’m sure you can probably relate to this stuff all too well.<\/p>\n

Your mindset in the gym towards working out needs to mature as you get older. A lot of younger guys who are full of piss and vinegar like to push the limit by lifting too heavy, using sloppy form, training to failure and beyond with cheating reps, forced reps, and doing whatever else they can do to literally try and force their muscles to grow.

I had to start respecting my body in the gym or else I wouldn’t be able to workout much longer.<\/p>\n
