Who are the bodybuilders who you think trained the smartest in terms of minimizing the risk of injury?
Dexter had one of the longest careers and trained smart.
In this video he explains why he doesn't have injuries.
1:10 to 4:15 is the main part of the interview.

Arnold did not have training injuries as far as I know.
I don't recall hearing of injuries in the 70s.

Yes. Never trust a bodybuilder.

Stop nitpicking.

Yes, but he injured his knee by falling through a posing platform not in the gym.

I’m no IFBB judge, but in my estimation he looks better than Ronnie.

Lee Priest and Bob Paris can probably be added to the list

He won 8 Olympias and broke Arnold's record. What else was there for him to do? With that said, Haney won the Mr. Universe in his early 20s; so he spent nearly a decade as a pro.

Demey tore his pec and Sarcev tore his bicep. Benfatto also tore his pec in late 90s. When he made his comeback in the mid-2000, you could see the difference.

I think that Gary Strydom and Mike Christian both probably trained fairly heavy, but stayed within their limits.
