Hey guys welcome back, in this video I'll be going over 5 different ways to help you avoid injuries in your training. Sadly injuries are pretty much almost inevitable in this game, BUT you can significantly reduce your chances of sustaining a serious or long term injury. These 5 methods are based off my experience with previous injuries I've sustained over the past 5 years of my calisthenics training.
Over my 5 year period of calisthenics training I’ve experienced minor, acute and chronic injuries. I hate to say it, but they’ve been valuable teachers that I was too stubborn to pay attention to. I’ve experienced horrible tendonitis in both of my forearms, not only once, but twice and it was bad enough to the point where I couldn't perform a push up against a wall. I’ve had proximal bicep tendonitis from overtraining pronated rows that I’ve recovered from a few months ago, but still working on the area. I've gone through acute strains including in my right bicep during planche training and left pec randomly from a cold start to ring dips. Pulled my lower back while trying to PR a deadlift that I was not prepared for. I also found out I had a bulged disc in my neck that affected my training back in 2019 (this came from a whiplash injury I sustained as a kid) which I had to work around and address as it caused tingling symptoms from my left shoulder blade to my arm. Currently Currently I'm dealing with some imbalances and a minor golfers elbow issue, but these have been alright for me to work around while I address those cases. Overall, I noticed my injuries tended to arise from my ego, ignoring discomfort, ignoring weak points, avoiding specific warm ups, and focusing more on my numbers vs how I felt.
Hope these help you out and can play apart in avoiding some injuries in your training. Thanks for watching and enjoy the process!
