Curious about
weight lifting --------------> bodyweight exercises
Is there a specific reason or is it just tied to your switch to a home gym?
- edw519 16y agoI had a chronic injury (rotator cuff) caused by years of weight lifting. It got so bad, sometimes I couldn't put my shirt on. The only "treatment" was laying off exercise. I thought I was doing something wrong until I realized that I had selected a "less than optimal" form of exercise. I also had plantar faciitis, caused by years of improper running. In 2005, I was recommended this book: http://www.amazon.com/Pushing-Yourself-Power-Ultimate-Transformation/dp/1932458018/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1302704194&sr=8-3 http://www.amazon.com/Pushing-Yourself-Power-Ultimate-Transf... which totally changed my thinking and led me to many other resources. Now my exercises are: - Hindu squats - Hindu pushups - pushups & chinups - Heavyhands on stairs - moderate running barefoot or with minimal shoes - 5 rites - occasional superslow on machines in the gym I am in the best shape of my life with NO injuries. Even though some of my responses were a little tongue in cheek, this one probably best supported OP's theme of "never looking back".
