Re injury prevention, you may be interested in Stuart McGill, professor of ‘spinal biomechanics’ at Waterloo.
For example, you shouldn’t exercise first thing in the morning. Something about your discs being more hydrated --> swollen --> vulnerable after laying overnight.
Very open questions, but curious if you have any thoughts on Olympic lifting vs powerlifting. Or on kettlebells and hip-hinge exercises.
WRT olympic: don’t like loading the spine dynamically for newbies whose muscular strength is outpacing their joint and stabilizing muscle conditioning.
Kettlebells can be okay. Hip hinges really depends on the person and how they’re doing them.
