The Main Advantage of Non-Weight Training Over Weight Training.

I admit that I trained with weights for more than three years! I have good muscular gains though. I packed on
around 30 pounds of solid muscle. But all this gains were wasted when I meet a terrible injury lifting weights.

The injury is rather traumatic and it develops me certain phobia on weights...hahaha. Till these day I didn't lift any weights! Weights are good means of exercise equipments but not for everybody. Some men and also woman can train on weights excessively but it depends on the bone structure that a certain individual have.
Some bones are softer than the other; Some ligaments are far stronger than the other. It's a genetic kind of
thing. I tell you these, weight training are rather destructive sometimes rather than beneficial!




Some of the disadvantages of weight training:




1. Weight training puts extreme pressure on the joints, causing some cartilage problems on the later part of life when doing a continuous training due to the repetitive reps that a trainee is instructed to do.


2. Weight training causes severe injuries on elbows, Knees, chest and even some internal organs when doing
Squats or Bench Press and some other similar exercise that involves compound muscle movements exerting too much pressure on the abdominal organs.


3. In some times that a spotter is not around and the trainee puts more weights on the bar. Accidents can happen due to lack of muscular control or fatigue. When you lose grip on the bar, and your doing a bench press, the weight will crush your chest and other internal organs. Some reported incidents have ended up injuring themselves and resulted in death. The late Bruce Lee was on of the victims of weights related accident, while training he accidentally injured himself in doing a heavy DEAD-LIFT and suffered from intense pain during his whole lifetime. This resulted in the abuse of painkilling drugs for healing himself and resulted his early death in the 70's! That's a fact!




4. Weight training puts to much pressure on the skin resulting to small blood spots that's very visible to the eye. Some develops more than a stubborn veins and stretch marks on the armpit, abdominal area, and on the leg parts.


5. Weights cause you Bursitis a severe small arteries sickness in which the arteries bursts inside you muscle causing extreme pains in the region where it bursts. These may cause a week long healing process until it finally settles down to the muscle.


6. Weight training elevates the level of lactic acid deposits causing the first time weight users have experience sore muscle for a week long or two. However with proper practice of bodyweight training these problems can be easily corrected.




These are some problems that you might encounter when you insists on using weights as part of your training that haphazardly programmed and not customized for your needs. Some of trainees brought a book and copy all the exercise training regimen that listed in the books that they have very little or no gain of at all. These because they are not suitable for these kind of training. Some trainees also a marathon and volume training copying the work out training from Arnold. These are haphazardly done and not scientific. Research shows these year that quick and efficient training leads to a more productive work-out. You can read about this later on my later posts.
