    Strengthening Joints

    Hey u all. Ive noticed that its not that hard to injure yourself while lifting....it's ecspecially easy to injure your joints. My question is....how do u strengthen those joints? Can you? For example...i would really like to strenghten my shoulder joints so its hard to injure them. I stretch before liftin and do warmups before bench.

    Use good form, with progressive resistance, and they will strengthen over time.Most injuries occur when using sloppy form, or lettting the ego get out of hand, and using weight that is too heavy.

    Rotator cuff exercises will also help. BUT be careful!

    Tame that ego!!!
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    work with exercises in all three planes of motion (frontal, transverse, sagital).

    use full range of motion

    strengthening the muscles around the joint will build greater joint stability over time.

    There's also a supplement, Glucosamine, that helps your joints. I took this for a while for my knees and it helped quite a bit.

    Glucosamine/chondroitin mix, some people use MSM also.

    Search Google to dig up studies of the two.
