Meeting your Protein needs
Bodybuilding, Pain and You
We will be looking today at some ways that the mature lifter can "BRING DOWN THE HOUSE OF PAIN", although this information is not intend just for the mature but for all ages, arthritis can strike at any age.
If you have been lifting for any period of time ,even world champions experience some type of chronic joint pain such as arthritis, which involves an actual wearing away of the joint surface.
This is why Schwarzeneggar had hip replacement surgery.
Weight lifting is not the villain as most people as they age experience some form of arthritis, even though it is not a naturally occurring process just because you're aging.
From a training standpoint it's simply best to avoid exercises that either hyper-extend your joints or place them at an unnatural angle.
This is why I keep telling you there are certain exercises that I don't do, including anything that puts my shoulder joints out of position, and nothing behind the head.
" IF IT HURTS DON'T DO IT".
Modern medicine offers little or nothing to prevent joint pain, and when it occurs can only offer medication to treat the symptom and not the source of the problem, so lets you and me look at some solutions.
1/ After the age of 40 the body will take longer to recover from exercise, so slow down, stop lifting really heavy weight{ who are you trying to impress}, and if pain occurs let your body fully recover.
2/ Studies show that green tea also appears to prevent joint breakdown, again likely due to a potent anti-oxidant effect, although it seems to inhibit key enzymes in the process as well.
3/ Obesity is definitely a risk factor for arthritis especially in the knees and hips-{ I personally can attest to this as being 100 lbs overweight and twisting my knee every time I get out of the truck has left me with knee problems, and is the reason I'm dropping a 100 lbs, I'm down 40lbs and feeling great.
4/ Not eating meat may reduce the level of collagen intake and some speculate that this may be a risk factor for joint problems.
5/ Vitamin C is vital for collagen synthesis and one sign of a vitamin C deficiency is a breakdown of connective tissue due to a slowdown of collagen production. Xango"s Limitless Collection is great for an energy surge right before a workout and contains key ingredients that the body craves without the artificial sweeteners.
