I see people that hurt some area of their body, then completely stop exercising. If you can get around the injury, show up and do the work.

With an effective plan you can reduce injury risk, and create a bulletproof body. You just need to remember that there is no magic exercise to fix your body. An indestructible body is built by working a wide range of movements over large ranges of motion. You can't work all of the movements or ranges of motion at once. So the real magic is in the system which lets you target each movement that your body needs, when you need it.

If you're building strength for activities beyond the weight room, remember to keep enough variation in the programme to build a wide variety of capabilities. This doesn't mean that you need to ditch the powerlifts as something you want to target for improvement. But if you can develop a programme that both builds the powerlifts, while building other movements - that will let you both hit your goals and improve your general function.

If you can get strong over large ranges of motion, you will become flexible, strong and resistant to injury. The lighter you get, the less force you have to overcome when you move. Both factors make it easier to move. Bonus points if you do active movement outside of the gym (like a sport) too.

If you want to move fast, but you are chronically injured, or are just starting out - reducing the limb velocity with hill sprints is a great way to get faster while reducing the injury risk.

Being fast and powerful is great, but the injury risk is higher than alot of other activities. If you haven't touched sprinting in a while ease into it, just like you would with strength work in the gym. One way to ease into it is by starting on a softer surface, and slowly graduating up to something firmer.

I'm big on Pin Pressing for building the bottom position of my lifts. For Behind the Neck Overhead Pin Press I like to set the bar so that it's juusstttt touching my traps. Any lower and I can use the torso to help initiate the movement. Any higher and I gain extra leverage to help with the lift. I want the movement as difficult as possible over the biggest range possible.

Remember to be careful with behind the neck pressing. If you don't have the shoulder range, or can't keep your neck safe then pick a different movement.
