how do people avoid injuries when weight training?

[Jioaq]

So serious question and I would like to get some tips from you on different strategies when it comes to avoiding injuries when weight training
seems like everybody that I become friends with at the gym who’s older complains about some sort of injury that they’ve gotten
is it possible to truly avoid injuries by doing certain things or is getting injured just part of this game we all love
should I have voice certain exercises?

 

[SteveSmi]

sleeping correct form is going to be the best way to do it
also you have to do maintenance on your body which means stretching and Mobility work

stretching and a lot of yoga
no heavy weights on shoulders

 

[Mobster]

Warm up

 

[JasonPriest]

I've always lifted lighter weights and that's kept me injury free even at my age

bro injuries are part of the game. just train through them

 

[QuadSweep]

you need to learn how your body works that's important too

 

[Austin316]

I think the most important thing is proper form

 

[sambee38]

warming up is very essential a lot of people fail to do that

 

[BookerTNY]

pro athletes spend more time warming up and they do actually playing

 

[Arabian]

yes weightlifters are too much into ego that's the main issue why they get hurt

 

[zedhed]

up getting good quality sleep is the best way to recover

 

[caligirl85]

proper nutrition and lots of fasting as well

 

[Shrine]

learning that the best time to recover is not when you're at the gym

 

[Zyglamail]

you're going to have some good results just keep grinding

The injury only got worse and never really healed correctly when I did that.
