Shoulder Injuries & Weight Training: Reducing Your Risk

Rating:
Summary: Good but short
Review: I've been plagued with injuries in both my shoulders the last couple of years. I've seen a few physiotherapists but haven't been given enough info to go by. (ie what caused the injury, what to avoid when working out, should i quit weights altogether or just avoid certain exercises?) So I didn't expect too much from this book when i purchased it. I was hoping that it would at least answer some questions i had about shoulder injuries (common causes and remendies).

Im not into the human anatomy and i was hoping the book wouldnt go in to that much detail. Out of fairness it didnt, however it probably should have in some areas of the book.

This book does talk about the make up of the shoulder and some of the problems that weight training will cause to the shoulder joints. It doesn't really detail the causes of shoulder injuries and how to possibly cure them. The book does end with a few pointers on how to lessen the risk of injury to the shoulders when training and how to improve your technique in regards to the shoulders.

Good for your general info but thats it.
