Question about worn out joints, specifically shoulder joints.
I noticed on this forum that you commented that "your knees sound about like mine do" to someone who was having knee trouble. I also noticed you say to Pete in the overhead press instructional video on youtube that "these take at least 20 minutes of warming up before I can do them"
In your books you say that not only muscles are strengthened by weight training, but also tendons, ligaments, and many other bodily tissues. I spoke to a doctor recently and he said that you should not train overhead pressing or shoulder activities too hard, as a core upper body exercise in training, as it is hard on your shoulders and you have to live with your shoulders for the rest of your life.
He also commented that the shoulder joints just were not made to press such heavy weight like people do, and in comparison to other muscles that people train, the shoulder muscles are tiny. He gave an example of a muscle group that was more suited for heavy exercise and that was the pectorals.
I thought heavy training made joints stronger, not wore them out? :confused:
