longetivity is very important if you lift heavy and want to keep doing it

mule is in his mid 30s and now has to take a couple months off a year. our own louden swain is having problems as of late.

what are some preventative measures?

i have a short list that may be right or wrong. please add some or discuss some things

1. glucosamine supps

2. maybe loose elbow wraps in heavy benching/lockout movements?

3. taking a bit of time off or lightening the workload often

please..help on this. i plan to be setting records and being one of the best if not the best until i die. it might be 20-25 years until i peak. i have to stay healthy..

Listen to your body. Many major things were ignored minor things.

Eat well

Don't neglect balance. Muscle balance, life balance, etc...

Oxytocin must have estorgen to work. So yes, you have it, but the lower your estrogen the lower the response. Opposite for women.
 
Protect your joints. They are always the first to go and can be easily damaged. Once you mess up a knee or an elbow it can be very hard to repair. Same goes for your back.
 
I wonder what role cardiovascular health plays in this scenario? Would the increased circulation be advantages to funtion and healing?

Does that mean powerlifters should start working their quads, bis, and calves equally hard:p

prehaps not equally hard, but the work most likely needs done. muscle imbalance defianatly leads to injury.
 
Jeremy, I'll spot you the 25 years and give you the "looking back" answer.

1) Back off. I did traditional cycling, but however you handle it, don't always be working at your limit, especially with low reps. Also take a week off now and then.

2) Balance. Man, more guys my age have shoulders messed up from always working benches hard and going through the motions on back work.

3) Don't let yourself lose mobility. Work on flexibility, and if you get hurt, do all you can to get your flexibility back.

As long as people are pushing their bodies to the limit...both injuries and lots of joint soreness will occur. It happens and elite athletes deal with it.

I can think of VERY few sports where anti-inflammatories don't play a big role in the athlete's lives.

I'm not in this sport for my physical health...I am in it for my mental health.

'..deal with it'. thats exactly what i want to do. im not looking for a way out of the injuries and wear and tear or anything. i simply want to be doing this as long as possible

thanks for the info MrTrap
 
Based on my experience the body will start breaking down regardless if nutrition and rest are adequate.

I think that cycling training works the best.
 
active recovery and GPP work, constant prehab/rehab of weak or injured area. Consistant focus on core strength and stability, these are the things that will help you stay injury free and give longevity regardless of your sport.
 
I haven't trained in 2+ weeks now, the longest break I've taken from training over the last 2 years. And funny enough it's the best I've felt :)

All those minor aches and pains are all gone, and walking downstairs in the morning cold, doesn't bother me at all. It's like my muscles/tendons/joints seem looser, more flexible and require less work to warmup.

In fact, I've noticed as my body gets more beatup and further into overeaching the longer it takes to warmup the CNS, muslces and joints etc. It also makes minor injuries much easier to happen. It seems that when your in such a state, your threshold for injury is greatly lowered.
Active recoevry doesn't help this state much, and probbaly makes it worse.

Whereas now that I am fully rested, my body can take a lot more punishment. I feel a lot more springy and flexible like a cat :)

You are welcome MrBench.

Injury is not avoidable. Chuck Vogelpohl has vertebrae that are fused, torn tricep. Louie has torn I think everything lol, Mike Ruggeria has had a torn tricep and his kness fixed, George Halbert had his shoulder worked on, it goes forever. It's how you come back that determines how long you will be here. I also agree totally with Spatts and B-fold. You can't break records without sometimes breaking yourself. Eat right, train smart and have fun.

of course i cant say that i like knowing that i'll be injured some more but i can accept it
 
Heres my thoughts.........Sure there is gonna be some discomfort and minor aches and pains associated with weight lifting in the long hall. However, i would rather have those occasional aches and pains then to be overweight, no confident person who has a struggle doing things that require physical effort. They will most likely have more problems then us weight lifters
 
i think some people are getting the vibe that heavy lifting isnt cool because it hurts you. im not saying that at all

i simply want to know how i can KEEP ON HEAVY LIFTING without getting hurt so much
