As a bodybuilder you are going to be training hard, so it is
essential that you do your utmost to take care of your muscles
and prevent injury. Before you do anything you should read up
on safe bodybuilding practices such as proper lifting
techniques, warming up and cooling down. Here we shall discuss
some tips on how to stay safe down the gym.
This Is Essential=85
The most important thing that you should do is a proper warm up
followed by a warm down at the end of you session. Spend at
least 15 minutes warming up; 5 minutes of light aerobic
exercise such as jogging then 10 minutes of stretching to
loosen off and prepare your body for activity. Lift some light
weights before you get started on the serious stuff to prepare
your muscles for the stress you’re about to put them under.
Know Your Limits
The next important thing you should know is your limits for
each exercise, everyone is different, so don’t try to lift more
than you feasibly can, as you could get injured. Make sure that
your workout is intense, but never sacrifice good form to try
and lift heavier weights, as this is a recipe for disaster. If
you are lifting weights you should be able to do at least eight
reps, if you can’t, reduce the weight until you build up your
strength. You’ll get better results by pushing yourself close
to your max than you will if you overexert yourself. You’ll
find you’ll get better definition and muscle increase by being
close to this threshold than trying in vain to train above it.
Spot This=85
When you are lifting large amounts of weights you need to have
a spotter, especially for when you are doing exercises such as
the bench press. Ideally your spotter should be someone of a
similar strength as you, as they will be able to help you out
if you get in trouble. Make sure that you help them by
returning the favour once you’ve finished on the machine.
Ideally your spotter should be your training partner as if
anything were to happen to you they would know you, and be able
to help staff contact the necessary people. Plus your training
partner will help you hit your goals and keep you motivated.
Once you know your training program and have been shown the
proper form, try working out in front of a mirror to keep your
form in check, as it is easy to pick up injuries by not
maintaining the correct form. If you have a training partner
ask them to keep an eye on your form too, if not, ask a gym
trainer to help you out. Follow the basic fundamentals and use
your common sense and you shouldn’t go to far wrong. Finally,
make sure you have a solid and proven training program, don’t
just try and ‘wing it’ as you go or you’ll come unstuck, get
injured and won’t get the results you want.
