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.
Some people think that mentioning injuries produces fear and negativity.
But you should be fearful of some lifting techniques, just like you should fear the effects of smoking or throwing yourself out of an airplane without a parachute. But a thorough understanding of training safety gives a positive feeling that you are not going to get hurt. Some people seem to think that little needs to be said about exercise technique. All they seem to think really matters is more and more on training intensity, program design, and the accomplishments of the big achievers. It is as if they think form is a simple thing that everyone can work out for themselves.
