I'll add a second. I road biked, mountain biked, and played polo, but had knee, hip, and shoulder pain all the time. Since doing resistance training, I've only got muscle pain. Still hurts, but it goes away sooner and it isn't anywhere near as annoying as joint pain.
- npsimons 11y agoI'll add a third - hiked and rock climbed for years, always had some pain afterwards, even at lower body weights. Started lifting, now I hardly ever get sore after hiking and climbing, and if I do, it doesn't last long. If it does, it's a sign I'm probably coming down with something. Which also happens much less often since I started lifting. BTW, started lifting based on a book suggested on an HN thread years ago: "Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training" by Mark Rippetoe.
