Some tips to prevent and eliminate pain resulting from gym training

Some tips to help you not only prevent injuries but also eliminate annoying pain, and what you should do in case of injury.

Please note, these are just small suggestions, and if you are already injured, you should consult a doctor, not read an article on the internet.

The objective here is above all prevention.

Prevent Pain

Don't go straight to the deadlift bar and do your maximum weight when you get to the gym, warm up first.

Warm up well, especially on the muscle you are working on during the same training session.

Some examples that you can use for warming up.

5/10 minutes of cardio before starting your workout.
Some weightless exercises.
Some warm-up exercises with little weight, for example, with a pair of light dumbbells, do 2 or 3 different exercises.
1 or 2 sets of the first exercise of the training with a light weight and 15 repetitions.

Choose at least one of these strategies.

Perform the exercises with the correct technique.

Check the mirror while you exercise, but don't get too distracted by it.

Ask someone to confirm that you are doing the exercise with the right posture.

If, even with warm-up and correct form, you get injured regularly, something is wrong.

You can also try a Glucosamine and Omega 3 supplement, both good supplements for preventing injuries and joint pain.
