Musicians can lift heavy stuff
Weightlifting and performing actually go well together
I make a case for adding strength training to your routine to improve your musical performance.
Main points:
1. Strength does not equal bulky, stiff, slow muscles.
2. Too many musicians have told me they have been advised NOT to lift heavy things.
3. Strength = max force you can produce against a load.
4. Strength training makes you withstand more load.
5. Strength training allows you to be MORE flexible and MORE mobile!
Next time: What should be in a starter strength program for musicians?
