2981: How to Lift Weights With Bad Joints (5 Things That Actually Help)

“especially with the pec tear and the stuff I've dealt with in my shoulders. Is I will actually go a really slow tempo and then I'll do an isometric hold with the dumbbells at the bottom. And that's like my first set or two is like that. And man, after doing that, I feel so warmed up in the shoulders, chest, everything like that.”

“And there's so much less to focus on. Like if I'm doing an overhead press with a dumbbell, which is a great exercise, and I have shoulder pain, you know, I got to worry about balancing the dumbbell. I got to worry about when I'm pushing against the machine, especially if the machine that fits my body well, I just got to worry about pushing it up.”

“So you'll be doing a little bit most days, but you're only doing two exercises. So I have a treadmill at home and I have weights up to, I have two 35-pound dumbbells, a pull-up bar, but I go to the gym. Okay. So you could do MAPS 15. You could do some of it at home, some of it at the gym.”

“occasion, but generally it's just Prime Pro. So a home gym? You guys have a home gym? We have dumbbells and then I ordered a doormount pull-up bar for Prime deals, just that way I can use more of you guys' programs. So explain what does consistency versus inconsistency look like?”

“And again, the data on this is now pretty clear. Any idea? I mean, you would be the person that might know this, how that compares to Ice Baths, like as far as the dampening of the signal, because we know that's the negative thing that people always talk about with ice baths, right?”

“Do you know if it is it a similar percentage? Is it as negative, more negative? I don't think there's any studies on joint health post-repeated use of ice baths. We do know that it reduces the muscle building and strength building signal if it's used right away after a workout.”

“We just have the studies, though. I don't think we have studies on ice baths. So it'd be hard to speculate. No, I'm interesting about the muscle building side. So we, if because you're saying the NSAIDs also do that, so do ice baths. Which one's worse? Oh, I mean, I would bet that the NSAIDs are worse just because of the medicine that also could stress the kidneys, can also affect the gut lining.”

“In fact, I could show somebody oftentimes, I got knee pain. I'll put them on a leg extension, have them hold the thing up at the top. Almost immediately. And then they'll come down and be like, my knee feels a lot better. Yeah, it's, I like to look at it as like it's a really loud signal of stability.”

“Yes. So an isometric would be like, we'll use the knee as an example. I could get on a leg extension machine, bring the weight all the way up and then just hold it and really squeeze my quads or set so much weight on the stack that I can't lift it and push into the pad. And that's an isometric.”

“The plate is set, the track is set. I don't have to balance and worry about all these different things. And I can just push and move through a leg extension. Very easy to do in comparison to a free weight exercise. So for joint pain, machines are beautiful. And this is when I would use them.”

“Yeah. So it's like I know better than to be like, oh, the probiotic's doing all this stuff. It's like, no, I know that, you know, like I talked about this when I, when I started micro-dosing the Tirzepatide, like how good my psoriasis is. Like my psoriasis has just continued to get better and better right now. It's just been, it's been an awesome journey.”

“I can't say that. But I can say psoriasis has been continuing to get better. Don't know if that is related to it or if it's more the Tirzepatide, the low diet, things like that. But then I have, my sleep is continued. Like when I can go back, I track everything, right? So I can see, and people were asking me in my questions the other day, like, you know, what are you doing?”

“One of the few people I know to take both. And so basically when I started taking the Tirzepatide, that's when I started counting. I got really strict with my eating. And, you know, it totally was a game changer.”

“But you need those also to signal healing. So here's what we find in the data. When people regularly use an NSAID like ibuprofen or naproxen, for example, when they regularly use them when they work out, you see less muscular strength gains and you also see joint degeneration over time.”

“thing where you're like, I'm going to go have a hard workout. Let me pop to ibuprofen so I could go do this crazy workout. And this is my routine. You're better off going in with a little bit of pain, judging the movements based on how you feel and doing it that way versus taking these on a regular basis because they will reduce your body's ability to heal.”

“a little bit most days, but you're only doing two exercises. So I have a treadmill at home and I have weights up to, I have two 35 pound dumbbells, a pull-up bar, but I go to the gym. Okay. So you could do MAPS 15. You could do some of it at home, some of it at the gym. Basically you're doing two exercises a day and that's it.”

“occasion, but generally it's just Prime Pro. So a home gym? You guys have a home gym? We have dumbbells and then I ordered a doormount pull-up bar for Prime deals, just that way I can use more of you guys' programs. So explain what does consistency versus inconsistency look like?”

“There's resistance. Oh, that's cool. I haven't heard that one yet from IOT, but she gave me some putty recently and I'm kind of just gripping it and squeezing that. That's a little difficult right now. So yeah, I'm still thinking, you know, I'm still kind of early getting back into it.”

“And the rice bucket's perfect for this because you can do all directions and you get resistance. We're like squeezing like a, you know, one of those flex grips or like a putty, all you're doing is flexing. You're just getting flexion. You're not getting extension. You're not getting rotation, any sort of dynamic movement in the wrist.”

“Yeah. Okay. Since Florida, I guess my body was under stress and all that. I do take creatine. That's good. And I don't feel like I'm lacking energy, to be honest with you. But you're a pretty, I don't know what that feels like. Yeah, you're a pretty resilient person, but you'll know the difference when you start to get that energy.”

“So basically, I started GOP1 about three years ago. I was 364 pounds and I'm currently at 161 to 165. Back in March, I had a tummy tuck, lipo, brachioplasty.”

“That's my breakfast. Or I make like, I call it a protein bomb. It's, you know, the Greek yogurt, protein powder, fruit, protein, cereal mixed together. Then for lunch, I usually have either some type of lunch meat or like the buffalo chicken or tuna packets.”

“Don't go crazy with it. Yeah, just have been like five minutes in it. Yeah. Okay. They also ordered me this JAS machine that's like you put on your arm and then it kind of cranks your wrist down or up. Does it pull your hand down or up or do you push it down?”

“I put on like a keto bun. Then for dinner, it's usually kava with double, double protein, the steak, because it's the lowest calorie, of course.”

“But you need those also to signal healing. So here's what we find in the data. When people regularly use an NSAID like ibuprofen or naproxen, for example, when they regularly use them when they work out, you see less muscular strength gains and you also see joint degeneration over time.”

“That's my breakfast. Or I make like, I call it a protein bomb. It's, you know, the Greek yogurt, protein powder, fruit, protein, cereal mixed together. Then for lunch, I usually have either some type of lunch meat or like the buffalo chicken or tuna packets.”

“I can tell you after my surgery, my doctor heart did big on the protein. When I started the shots, I started on Semaglutide and I really didn't listen to that. I was just so excited to be losing weight that I didn't count protein. You know, I just, I wasn't hungry. I didn't eat.”

“Obviously, haven't bared much weight with that wrist in three months now almost. So just kind of right now working with like a theraband flex bar and doing still try to get the mobility back in the wrist. Right. So, you know, I'm obviously going to progress back to hockey, but more importantly, I want to be able to kind of lift weights again.”

“better program. Yeah. And what that's going to look like is two lifts a day. So you'll be doing a little bit most days, but you're only doing two exercises. So I have a treadmill at home and I have weights up to, I have two 35 pound dumbbells, a pull-up bar, but I go to the gym. Okay. So you could do MAPS 15. You could do some of it at home, some of it at the gym.”
