Hello Salma,

 

If your posture and technique is correct and if you had a good warm up, you can be never in a risk of getting any such injuries irrespective of how much weight you are lifting !

Also important is to follow the principle of progressive weight training i.e increasing weight every time not more than 5%-10% of your last effort.

NEVER BEND SPINE WHENEVER DOING WEIGHT TRAINING AND LIFTING THE WEIGHT BECAUSE IF OUR CORE MUSCLE ARE WEAK SO WHILE LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHT ALL PRESSURE GOES ON OUR SPINE.

Weight lifting is a core part of your health regimen because it builds muscle, increases metabolism, burns fat, and strengthens your skeletal muscles. However, if you do not lift weights properly then you can cause serious injury. Here are some causes of back injury:

  • Improper weight lifting can damage a rotary cuff or various joints. You can also injure your back in different ways, including getting bulging discs. If you are more prone to developing herniated discs then you need to be extra careful when lifting weights in order to reduce the risk of reinjuring your backbone.
  •  Age is one factor that weakens discs, but sometimes hereditary conditions can also be at fault.
  • Pregnancy and extreme weight loss can stretch your muscles and cause your discs to become more easily herniated as well.
  • Anytime you increase pressure on your back you risk getting bulging discs. This means if you lift weights improperly your chances of your discs slipping increase dramatically.

Proper posture and proper technique are essential when doing any kind of weight lifting or bodybuilding.
