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

The Mind Pump hosts break down how to keep strength training with bad knees, shoulders, or hips. They share five practical adjustments: use isometrics, slow down your tempo, shorten your range of motion while still challenging the muscle, use machines, and skip NSAIDs when possible. The episode also covers new Seed probiotic research, building muscle in a calorie deficit, raising resilient kids, football helmets, and essential amino acids versus whey. Then they coach four live callers on topics ranging from long diet histories and under-eating to a GLP-1 transformation and fear of the scale.
