Safety in The Weight Room

For this weeks blog we are going to review the safety practices we talked about last week. In 20 years of teaching weight training, 95% of the injuries I have seen in the weight room can be directly attributed to failure in complying with basic safety practices and good common sense. For this weeks blog I want you to provide me the answer to the following multiple guess questions. You do not need to write the question or the answer out just give me the number of the question and the letter of the correct response.
