68. Does Weightlifting Destroy Your Joints After 40?

Many people believe lifting weights after 40 is dangerous. "My knees already feel stiff." "I don't want to ruin my back." "My doctor said I have a disc bulge." But here's the reality: most people over 40 have some kind of "imperfection" on an MRI, even if they feel completely fine. In this episode we break down where the fear around weightlifting and joint damage actually comes from and why avoiding strength training might be the worst thing you can do for your long-term health. We talk about what really happens to your joints when you lift, why strength training can actually protect your spine, knees and shoulders, and what changes once you're over 40. Because the truth is simple: Your joints don't wear out because you use them. They wear out because you stop using them. 💪 Get In Touch Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/smartmovecrossfit/  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/smartmovecrossfit/  Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@smartmovecrossfit  Email - [email protected]  Our Hosts @sergiu.toth @bartbrysse
