Blogging About The Truth To Gain Weight & Build Muscle Mass!

It doesn’t matter how much weight you lift or how consistent you are with your workout training sessiones, if you suffer a back injury your muscle building efforts are going to come to a screeching halt.

Low back injuries in bodybuilders are usually sprains or strains in the lunbar area, according to Guillermo Escalante.  Pressure on the low back can come from exercises such as squats, deadlifts, romanian deadlifts, and the like.  When you push beyond failure, your spine often takes up an increasing amount of stress which may put you at risk, so don’t let momentum take over.  Also, be sure to avoid performing these types of exercises in a flexed or rounded out position, since this increases stress on the discs.
