    What kinds of injuries do weightlifters get?

    I just started lifting free weights and I recently injured my lower back. So I'm wondering... what kind of injuries have you guys gotten lifting weights in the past? Is it mainly back stuff, or other stuff as well? Let's get a list going of common weight lifting injuries.

    Looking forward to your stories!

    Top 3 contenders:

    * Low back (usually around L5S1)

    * Shoulders (weak rotator cuffs, overdeveloped anterior dels)

    * Knees (usually ACL or patellar tendon)

    All can be prevented pretty easily with good technique and regular prehabilitation.
