Love lifting? Love playing sports? Then you need to make certain exercises a priority in your training to prevent injury and insure lifelong health. People relate exercise to aesthetics and brute strength, not to longevity. The quote “its a marathon not a sprint” relates perfectly to exercise.Their is no point in throwing up huge weights or looking like a model if your body isnt operating optimally. Aesthetics are great and having goals of lifting ungodly amounts of weights are fantastic and should never be looked down upon, just remember no matter how much weight you can lift if your injured it means nothing. Check your ego at the door and listen to Dr John Rusin hit the nail on the head with his article ” How to Lift Forever 5 Mandatory exercises for Long Term, Pain Free Gains”
