I think bodybuilding and strength training are among the most thrilling and satisfying activities around. No one is keener to promote them than I am. But I do not just want to promote weight training per se. I want to promote safe, productive and long-term training. Baring freak accidents, training injuries have nothing to do with bad luck.
Injuries have everything to do with ignorance, following bad advice, and inattentiveness.
The exercise world has always played down the potential negative side of weight training. It has inadequately presented the specifics on safe exercise technique. Done incorrectly, weight training is one of the most dangerous activities around. No matter how much you try to water it down, the danger aspect is always there. To not explicitly state this betrays the training masses who need to know the truth, and perpetuates the harmful aspect of the Iron Game.
