TL;DR
- Warm up dynamically before training to increase blood flow and reduce muscle stiffness.
- Prioritize correct exercise technique over lifting heavy weights to prevent injuries.
- Progress gradually by increasing workout intensity and load slowly to allow the body to adapt.
- Strengthen key muscles and improve flexibility to better withstand exercise loads and prevent injuries.
- Respect rest and recovery periods to allow muscle tissues to repair and prevent overuse injuries.
