ArdusKane SG How do I remedy weak joints? When I did only 20 push-ups after waking up, I could feel the front of my shoulders (just above the pecs) under stress. Same for my knees on half-pistols. Is this because of weak bones or not enough muscle supporting the area?
galapogos SG Warm them up properly, and do some mobility exercises for the joints. For shoulders, you can try scap pushups and overhead broomstick dislocations. For knees, try high knee walks, toy soldiers, lateral lunges.
OPT SG before anything look at scapular stability – correct that first if an issue (and it usually is).
JoBonez SG would taking glucosamine also help to strengthen joints? I hear of some weight lifters taking it daily.
Simon Dean SG Those real hardcore ones like from west-side or Jesse Marunde. They take glucosamine meant for animals and rub oilment meant to relieve joint inflammation in horses on THEMSELVES.No kidding!
alwaysdisturbed SG did you just started to do push ups? if so, your cartilage, tendons, ligaments and of course muscles around your shoulders are not strong enough. don't rush, maybe cut to 15 reps.
forum_dude SG YEA I AM TRYING TO DO THE FULL PISTOLS EXERCISE BUT CANT REALLY GO DOWN TO 90 DEGREES AS MY KNEECAP GETS PAIN AS I GO DOWN MORE. ANY WAY TO HELP WITH THIS
