Nice overview of Tendonitis

[Guest guest]

We had a question here a few posts ago about biceps tendonitis.

This is a very nice overview of this condition.

rbelloff,

Interesting article.

One interesting aspect of this group is that a lot of people are

around 50 or older.

We must train differently than we did at 35.

I am lucky enough to have never had a notable tendon injury until I

was over 50, but it sure makes you humble when suddenly picking up a

coffee cup hurts.

I guess my approach has to change.

I came across this old writing on fitness, that though it has its

anachronisms- like running on the balls of the feet- seems somehow

still to be pertinent.

I like what he says about developing weak links by, for example,

focusing on building big arms.

Cordially,

Marc

I know in my case, I am much more carefull about how I work out. My

tendons certainly seem more fragile then when I was a young buck.

I can still move the bigger weights but I have to be fully warmed up

and get there through progression.

When I was young, BOOM. I was there.

Such is life.

What exercise should one avoid as we get a little long in the tooth?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

As a generalization, the joints are the issue. In my opinion, you

have to experiment to find those exercises that place your joins at

risk. The shoulder is very fragile and needs caution for most folks

because of its structure.

For each person, this may vary.

I have issues in my right knee and right bicep tendon, so I work

around these.

Hi Folks,

At 53 I realize that now I have to do more than I used to warm my

shoulders up more before using any exercise apparatus.

If I don't, I may feel the tendons for a week afterwards and hear

little snaps and clicks that scare me into another week's rest.

I used to just do a perfunctory general warm-up then a light set, a

medium, and a heavy set of each exercise.

Personally, to avoid injuries and layoffs, I am going to use light

movements like in the beginning video of the Dr. Oz Exercise Program

posted on Oprah's site.

I don't personally watch the program, but a friend recommended this video.

The same informant told me of 12-second push-ups- 12 seconds up, 12

seconds down- and the plank, which of course is isometric.

''Slow down, you move too fast...''
