Aren weight lifting exercises like Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press & Overhead Press dangerous?
All weight lifting exercises are dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. Statistics show that weight lifting is safer than any other sport. Practical evidence will confirm that you’ll be less injured than your friends playing soccer, football or boxing. Nobody will hit your knees like in soccer. Nobody will tackle you like in football. Nobody will hit you like in boxing. If you hurt yourself, it will be your fault: usually bad technique or greediness. Start light, focus on technique and add weight slowly but systematically.
