Unofficial Dragondoor FAQ

I am an 18 year old and am sort of injury prone. I don't really mean serious injuries, just little ones like strains and sprains. Sometimes on my back but more often to areas of my elbows, upper arms, and shoulders. I'm guessing this is because I haven't been exercising those areas.

My Dad is really into bodybuilding and tried to get me into it at one time. He had me do high repetitions and train to failure and I was sore for about 2 weeks! I also hurt a tendon in my arm doing curls and that took about the same amount of time to heal. That was the last time I'll ever use bodybuilding methods.

What do you think would be better for me to do first: Develop endurance with bodyweight exercises or use the Power to the People program? I have your PTP tape and am still working on muscular tension before I start the actual program.

I just want to be sure I understand tension so I don't get hurt.
