Osteoporosis prevention

[One-Off]

I found this in my email box. More fuel for the strength fire. (emphasis is mine).

Strong, steady and straight: UK consensus statement on physical activity and exercise for osteoporosis | British Journal of Sports Medicine

Box 1 Recommendations for exercise to promote bone strength
For all people with osteoporosis

• Muscle-strengthening physical activity and exercise is recommended on two or three days of the week to maintain bone strength. [E]
• For maximum benefit, muscle strengthening should include progressive muscle resistance training. In practice, this is the maximum that can be lifted 8–12 times (building up to three sets for each exercise). Lower intensity exercise ensuring good technique is recommended before increasing intensity levels. [E]
• All muscle groups should be targeted, including back muscles to promote bone strength in the spine. [C]
• Daily physical activity is recommended as a minimum, spread across the day and avoiding prolonged periods of sitting. [C]

caca, josh, and wokeAF are going to be pissed.

(though I would never advise someone to plan their training with failing at the 8-12 rep range. The only benefit I see to training in that space is if you want to convince people to stop training because the physical benefits are closer to zero than you would want to believe.)

I've done some DEXA scans. Every time it shows bone density that are 2 SDs higher than the average for my age and gender. Nothing to see here . . . . .

Are you going through menopause?

Are you going through manopause?

Most people don't lift.

If you don't lift and then you do, it's going to be a great thing.

It don't matter what kind of lifting you do as long as you have intensity.

After you get to a certain level of conditioning, weight lifting becomes one of life's great pleasures.

Most people never get there.

Surfing is kind of like that too.

Maybe everything is?

Guitar for sure.

No . . . But I always hear from people like you that resistance training is bad for your joints

LOL I never said that and I would 100% disagree.

Certain movements yes, the other 95% no.

So why were you getting a DEXA scan?

Which movements are bad for your joints. I'm only asking because joints are there to move or articulate along their natural path or paths. I wasn't aware we weren't supposed to use them this way (sometimes).

There's a lot of opinions out there about what's bad and good, all written by people who have had very successful bodybuilding careers.

I think whatever your baseline posture, skeletal structure, and athletic history is at a young age will all have an affect on what movements are good and others that are damaging.

Resistance training along with walking/jogging. A lot of hard-core lancers end up with osteoperosis because while physically fit, they never stress their bones.

Absent paralysis or some other neurologic pathology, I think you are just making things up.

Bodybuilding is just like surfboards, every "expert" has their opinion (which of course is always correct).

My right hip angles out about 40 degrees along with my foot, yes that affects how sh!t works.

Muscle and Fitness...a magazine that advocates on its cover things like "Dorian Yates Massive Arms Exercise" is an expert on fitness?

Bodybuilding is not strength training or fitness. Bodybuilding is body modification, similar to tattoos or piercings. Bodybuilding is physique worship....or even a body dysmorphia similar to anorexia or trans. Bodybuilders are generally not very healthy or strong.

I don't believe you are disfigured...but if you are and have this asymmetric anomaly you would know that it is just an anomaly and your experience isn't indicative of a normal persons physical experience.

Everyone is an expert, as I said in my post.

Did I bother reading the article? No.

Martial artists have significantly greater bone density than the general population.

To evaluate progress of body composition.

Barbell curls are on that list
