I’m an incoming D1 who enjoys to weight lift very much, often doing heavy lifts (more upper body I’ll admit haha). So I became randomly curious, but what experience have you dentists/dental students in clinics experienced?
Some potential discussion points you could add to include:
-Are there days that you dedicate to certain muscle groups so that you aren’t sore when practicing?
-Do you refrain from lower back/forearms/etc since these are key groups that you need for the tedious work?
-Have you had to tone down how often you can go?
-If you had injuries, how did you cope with it?
-Do you stay away from deadlifts/squats (since it hits lower back hard)?
-Has the gym helped keep you from “breaking down” as most people say comes with the job?
-Any exercises you’d recommend that has helped with your posture/feeling good with everyday procedures?
-Anything else you want to throw in!
