Cellar Yeti Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Was doing a bit of light reading and research and it's suggested power movements even if done safely and correctly can cause a lot of issues to your spine and joints later on in life. Is there any merit to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewybaws Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 What's the source? I can't take any of that stuff seriously when I train with a 60 year old who's lifted heavy since his teens, and he's a strong mofo. No reoccuring injuries. Set a world record for the Squat a few months back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellar Yeti Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 I asked here hoping someone could give me some links to studies, as I have found no concrete proof. Fuck that noise, I'm not gonna stop squatting or deadlifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
