You can gain muscle and stay healthy.  Learn the two exercises you need to do to sustain muscle growth and prevent injury.

One of the most often injured areas in lifters is the rotator cuff.  This is primarily due to a high volume of pressing (bench press, incline press, overhead press, etc.) and a low volume of work for the opposing muscles of the upper back.  The best fix for this is obviously to begin to balance the training of your upper body.  For every set of pressing you should do a set of rowing to balance the muscles of the shoulder girdle.
