Go the Distance Physical Therapy and Bodywork

Maximal lifts don’t usually look pretty but that doesn’t mean they are unsafe! Certainly heavy lifts will always carry an element of risk but we can mitigate that by getting good amounts of sleep, fueling our bodies with good nutrition and making appropriate weight jumps as we warm-up.
True injury prevention lies in preparation! It’s crucial that we train and prepare our body in as many positions as possible. If we are constantly protecting our backs from flexing and extending (as they are made to do), they will certainly be weaker and more vulnerable in those positions.
So, prepare yourself as best you can! Eat healthy food, get lots of sleep, keep your stress levels manageable and try not to under or overtrain. This is the best way to manage your risk of injury.

Here’s the deal with posture: it gets blamed a lot for our problems. Worry a little less about sitting up straight all the time and a little more about getting in some daily movement!
