If you have been training for any extended period of time, there is a good chance you have experienced some type of injury. Any type of injury in the weight room can be a setback. Recovery time can take anywhere from a few days to a few months to recover from. Injuries experienced are wide ranging, too. Whether you train at a commercial gym or at home, training with free weights carries risk. With that risk, you take a chance of getting injury or performing a lift incorrectly and injuring yourself.
