Abstract

Weight training pays off in increased strength but sometimes exacts a price in the form of chronic injuries. These include not only musculoskeletal injuries like rotator cuff tendonopathy and clavicle stress fractures, but also neuropathies, vascular stenosis, and headache. Relative rest and correction of poor technique usually help.
