What steps do you guys take to prevent injuries. I dont have a lot of experience in this game, but I did learn that one injury can put you out for a decent amount of time. I want to take as much precaution I can going forward so as not to tear naything again.
Allready started including
a) 20 minutes of warm up cardio before lifting
b) wrapping my knee for squats and wearing a belt
c) wrapping my elbow for skull crushers and pressing movements (elbows hurt, dont wanna snap my tricep tendon).
d) complete control of the weight ( although I was doing a pretty good job of this when I strained my pec).
Question
a) Any ideas on preventing bicep tears on deadlifts? (which grip is safer over hand or under hand)
b) any tips to prevent groin strain while squatting?
