Obviously you want to be able to build muscle, but it’s important to build muscle safely. One bad injury (or even a minor one) can set you back for months. All it takes is one forgetful moment, so make sure you focus on this religiously.
Such traumatic incidents can easily be avoided by adhering to the following guidelines. Here we go with our build muscle up safely guidelines:
1) You may look around the gym and find that there are many different things that can happen with just the slightest thing wrong. One of the main things that can go wrong causing injury is the use no barbell collar, or not properly tightening it. This can cause on unbalance of weight to one side of your body causing it to strain harder to get the weight up, which increases the chance of muscle tears.
2) Use a spotter if you sre doing one rep maximums. This is person who watches you and is ready to help you out if you start struggling. The last thing you want to occur is to have yourself stuck weighted down by a heavy barbell, you may laugh but I’ve seen it happen.
3) If you’re sick, take a day off from the gym. To be honest you won’t have a good workout like you would if you were healthy. If you do go, you could end up losing 3 or 4 days because your sickness got worse. You have to remember that working out will actually lower your immune system, which will affect your illness. So steer clear of the gym, you’ll be happier if you do.
4) Correct technique is always important. If you try to do too much with your sets or exercises, it’s possible that serious injury can occur. Even if you don’t get hurt, you won’t be focusing in on the targeted muscle, and your results won’t be anywhere near where you want them.
5) Oh, and don’t overdue it. If you’re new, your first reaction is the lift as often as possible. Even though this is good, most of the time this will be too much for the individual. The end result is you will weaken your muscles, especially if they haven’t fully recovered.
6) Not eating properly. Emphasis will have to be placed on muscle building nutrition if you want your muscles to grow. If you do not consume enough calories then you are not going to be able to support muscle growth and will therefore be wasting your time in the gym. During the day eat frequently high quality nutritional meals.
7) Healthy competition is something that every weight lifter should have. The key word there is healthy. Make sure that you are not showing off trying to out lift someone just to prove a point. This usually leads to serious injury because you will try and lift weight that your body can’t handle. Write down your weight lifted so that you know where you are and where to go with your next workout.
Last but not least make sure you warm up. Most muscles and tendon tears come from someone who doesn’t stretch before workout. Make sure that you spend at least 15 minutes doing various stretches so that you are not lifting while you are tense.
As you can see there are many different things that you need to take into consideration when training the right way. Make sure that you get good nutrition, stay focused, do not show off, and stretch before your workout, and you will be on your way to building muscle safely.
