In this regard, it s instructive to look at the many studies that have measured the rate of injuries associated with weight training compared to other sports.

The important thing is how you react and deal with the problems, that's what makes you a better person. I could have used my Dad's drinking problem and my parent's divorce as an excuse not to be happy and accomplish my goals, but I didn't.
