I think if you know your body well enough, which most don't, you can see the symptoms that might pop up.
Joint pain, chronic tightness, weakness in surrounding muscle groups and so on.
But yes, there's no way to know sometimes that it's going to happen.
Hydration plays a huge role as well and it's often overlooked. I would say this probably plays a larger role in muscle injury then failure.
Thinking on that, I can't think of many injuries I've seen or heard about that happen during failure... Well they're all failure since you can't do a rep when you rip your shit up lol. Typically they come at the beginning of the set.
I'm obviously not in the PT field to take a large sampling from though. I would be interested to know the breakdown of who is getting injuries and when. Age, training age, training history and so on.
Like you originally said, injures can vary so much and those factors all play a part.
I see injuries for various reasons.
The underlying issue is the weak link.
The weak rotator cuff. Multiffidus muscle in the lower back…. Whatever.
You can keep these areas strong to prevent injuries for sure.
But as they tire they give out.
Shoulders are probably top two in injuries I see.
But honestly idk if anyone knows there body well enough.
IMO injury prevention avoids injuries.
That dickhead is younger and feels invincible. Good for him.
Thinks Bc he takes gear he knows a lot. Good.
Lots of guys not around anymore who knew much more about shit then he did.
I don’t claim to know everything. I am a student of life.
