How to Avoid Devastating Muscle Tears | End Range Training Techniques

- Check out a critical yet often overlooked aspect of resistance training: the end range of motion in weight-bearing exercises. Whether you're a seasoned lifter or a novice, understanding your muscle, tendon, and joint limitations is key to optimizing your training journey for injury prevention and enhanced results.
In this video, we explore the concept of "end range of motion," where muscles reach full stretch or contraction, making them susceptible to injury. We'll illustrate how reckless movements, excessive speed, or ballistic actions, especially at these critical points, can lead to serious consequences such as muscle tears, tendon injuries, or joint damage.
🔹 Understanding End Range of Motion:
🔹 The Dangers of Extreme End Ranges:
🔹 Safer Exercise Practices:
🔹 Benefits of Proper Form and Control:
With a focus on proper form and controlled execution, we emphasize the importance of lifting weights safely and effectively. By prioritizing quality over quantity and steering clear of end range extremes, you not only reduce the risk of injury but also lay the groundwork for sustainable progress and long-term fitness success.
Keep pushing boundaries, but always with caution and care. Here's to a leaner, stronger you!
That was very useful advice.. I have been training for years and now than I'm getting older I am fearful of getting injured..
Lee is the best. I have been a fan of his since I started training in 1987.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you are still following along!
Love the videos Lee. Im 52 recently coming off a full shoulder replacement and am continuing to train smarter and not make the same mistakes over the years that got me here in the first place. Thank you for your videos Lee and I look forward to more
Glad you are enjoying the videos!! Appreciate the kind comment!

Lee, great advice like always and training smarter and efficiently is always better than trying for pb's. Ego gets you injured.
Thanks for the feedback!!
Wonderful, informative, and a very valuable demonstration video on correct training on exercise that can can be a risk if not done correctly! An easy thumbs up; and I subscribed. Lee Labrada was one of the best of the best bodybuilders competing in the late 1980s, and 1990s. Thank you for these very important tips, and an analysis on correct, and safe methods of performing these weight training exercises.🏋♂
Thank you for the kind words!! Appreciate you watching!
Whoa! First time I've seen Lee since the magazine days of 80s/90s! Awesome to see you and giving such great advice. Ever since I tore my pec tendon I've been researching this exact topic and trying to teach my son who is early teens and just getting into lifting weights. It would've been great in all the early gym encyclopedia books had a caution section for each exercise.
Great video
Thank you!!
Thank you Lee for the explanation
Absolutely, thanks for tuning in!
You the man Lee thanks for the info!!
Thanks Dwayne!
As I'm getting older (I'm not that old!) I'm gravitating more towards people like you, Mr Labrada, as our views on fitness are congruent.
For the last few years I've been practising precisely what you've been saying in this video and this really does give me added confidence that I'm doing the right thing, hopefully.
Mr Labrada, you have accrued much wisdom over your many years of dedication and I'm sure I speak on behalf of many who follow your work that we appreciate you.
Thanks so much for the kind words!!
Thanks sir for your helpful tips👍👍👍
Great video! Very informative.
Glad you found it useful!
I see other gym goers making these same mistakes all the time and I'll always try to help them out as best as I can so they don't end up hurting themselves, my 3 main principals for a good training session, #1 Concentration #2 Balance #3 Form, I'll always stress if your fighting to get it up then go down in weight, I'd rather see 5 good reps instead of 10 sloppy reps, then work your way up from there, and so far so good every body that I have helped they will always greet me with a Kool Aid Smile. BTW: Great video!
Thank you sir
Thanks for watching!

My bicep is sore after curls came straight here. I don't want to reach the ripper tendon stage.
Thought tears mostly happened in the stretch or elongated position?.
90% of the time it is in the stretched position. If the tear happens in the contracted position, usually occurs because there was a pre-existing small tear. Tears are rare among natural trainers but they do happen.
👍👍👍
50+ best to adjust avoid the end range completely .
he's demonstrating on a preacher curl which is one of the exercises most likely to cause a tendon tear, it's no better than any other curl in terms of stimulus but it's much more likely to cause an injury which makes it a bad exercise
There in really nothing bad about the exercise. You are correct, it puts you in a vulnerable position. If done under control for med to higher reps it's much safer. I've seen arm wrestlers train on this bench heavily. One of them did suffer a tear while competing
I've got a snapped bicep tendon that can't be repaired so folks take notice of this video .
I always lift with fear because of the possibility. When I do heavy days, I feel like I don’t push myself
