Great Advice – If You Are 20

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come back to more traditional bodybuilding training as a supplement to my martial arts training. Traditional bodybuilding is less ballistic and leaves me less vulnerable to injury. When I was younger, I never worried about injury nor did I get injured often. Once I passed 35 years old though, Vaig començar a lesionar-se amb molta més freqüència.

culturisme tradicional va en contra de la major part de l'entrenament esportiu actual s'ha centrat en CrossFit, entrenament funcional com cordes d'escalada, etc. Entrenadors conjecturen correctament l'entrenament atlètic cregui més habilitats funcionals per a la competència. Poques arts marcials mixtes (MMA) combatents fan culturisme tradicional més. Després que es retiren, Crec que els artistes marcials majors de considerar els beneficis de culturisme tradicional.

Based on my own experience and what I’ve seen in the gym, crossfit’s ballistic training leads to injuries such as knee, shoulder and bicep tendons injury. As long as you stay away from ego lifting and keep your reps at or above the 6-8 range, traditional bodybuilding is extremely safe.

I’m closing in on 50 but still maintain a traditional lifting regimen such as Kris Gethin’s 12 Week Muscle Builder.(Warning: Kris tends to curse quite a bit.)

I had a lipoma removed from my shoulder in November 2016. Two days later, I was back in the gym doing cardio. Seventeen days later, I was lifting weights again. I credit my consistent bodybuilding training for my quick recovery.

I do not discount the value of crossfit in competitive athletics. Long term, I would give traditional bodybuilding training a chance. If you are no longer in your twenties or thirties, you will find it more forgiving.

Take Care and Keep Kicking!
