> Powerlifting can be very dangerous. citation desperately needed. Injury rates for resistance training is very very low. The far higher risk is in not training. If you start juicing and compete to the absolute max, then maybe? Even then I am skeptical that the data supports this. I don't know where this weird belief comes from, while the universal recommendation is to do both resistance training and conditioning to reduce a whole bunch of risk factors for health and longevity. > What steps do you take to mitigate that risk? Well, we train to make our tissues resilient, of course.
