Does Weight Training Make You Slower?

September 26, 2007

Will weight training make you slower?  Absolutely NO!  Weight training increases speed.  Muscle contraction is responsible for body movement.  Muscular weakness can make you slower.  If your strength increases more than your body weight, you should be able to move faster.

 

Will weight training damage my joints?  The answer is NO as well.  Weight training will increase joint strength as long as it is done properly. It is to be performed in a smooth continuous manner.
