Why You (Really Me) Should Not Lift Heavy In The Gym
I have been lifting for a while. During that time, I've realized that atleast for me, the biggest frustration has been dealing with injuries.
I've only had 2. But there's one thing common in both of them: I suffered both those injuries while i was trying to lift heavy.
The first was a lower back sprain that I suffered doing a heavy deadlift. The other was a left shoulder injury that I got when I was trying to do a heavy incline bench press.
For the next year or so, I've decided I will only lift weights that I are challenging for me in the 12-15 rep range at a slow rep speed with a controlled eccentric.
