As long as you pay attention to form you should be fine. My injury was caused poor form due to using too much weight. For some reason our S&C coach seemed to think it was a good exercise to test your max on. Go figure I got hurt. -
that is why you should lift with a slow cadence that way your form stays perfect and if your back muscles are tired you won't be able to lift the weight and you will know your set is done. the mistake a lot of people make is to try to get the weight up with other means and muscles and then since their backs muscles are already fatigued they get injured.Originally posted by Sev408

strength coaches know about as much as my left nut. I hate most of them for ruining athletes bodies with stupid routines.Originally posted by 7lok4

The problem most strength coaches is that they tend to live out of books ... not peer revied journals (that is if they are actually a strength coach and not some one "designated" as the SC). Most of time they try and compose a workout for a whole team...not even posistion specific. Those are the people that whore the name strenght coach. A true Strength and Conditioning Coach does that exclusively! You follow a good "shell" when composing a w/o but you HAVE to make it fit the athlete. My fav is when they produce the w/o and hand it to the whole team and say EXERCISE! It's almost as bad as the gym teacher that rolls out the "war ball" so he can read SI.
A good strength coach is part brain part cheerleader...ok motivater...and part athletic trainer. I would normaly be as exausted from training a group of athletes from different sports in the off season as when I worked out myself!
But now I sell phones :cool:Comment
