im so confused, I just started lifting I've been doing LOW VOLUME "high weight" (like 3 reps for 5 sets) and I was getting this really bad pain in my left wrist every time I did barbell curls but now 3 weeks later its gone and ive increased the weight on the bar??? my form hasn't changed does weight lifting make your joints more resistant?? I though HIT training makes more more injury prone
>>76741661It’s because you aren’t actually lifting “high weigh” and your joints were able to adapt to the stress. I can guarantee you that next time you try to lift through pain like that, the opposite will happen. >gets pain from doing something>continues doing the same thing that causes pain Where did you get the idea that you were supposed to be doing isolation exercises in the 3 rep range?

>>76741715>Where did you get the idea that you were supposed to be doing isolation exercises in the 3 rep range?my bad, basically since im a total beginner I just figured if I applied progressive overload, it doesn't matter if I lift high volume or high reps, plus im mostly training for strength, the only downside is injury risk
>>76741661If you’re new to lifting your body bones aren’t accustomed to the sudden weight. But over time your bones will evolve to withstand the pressure of the weight and it won’t be a problem
>>76743030Isolation exercises are always always always done for 8+ reps. Isolations put tremendous stress on singular ligaments/muscles, versus compounds where the load is distributed across an entire kinetic chain of muscles and ligaments. Your body is so unaccustomed to being used like you’re using it as it is, just stick to a simple full body 3x a week routine for a few months. Curls are fine but like I said, 8+ reps as a rule for isolations
