There are safe ways to do hypertrophy with weights if you manage volumes and exercise selection well. I've been training in bodybuilding, powerlifting and powerbuilding styles for the last 18 years and have barely had any problems. Conversely, I've also trained in bodyweight/calisthenic styles and have had problems resulting from overuse, as I was cranking up the volume to make up for the lack of resistance. I don't think a style of training is better than any other, people can get outstanding results or get injured in all types of practice - it all boils down to the program detail and the individual. What works best for me in terms of maximizing wellness is low-volume (3x3 or 3x5), high intensity (but not too high) strength training with compound lifts, a few accessories (rotational, abs, rear delts, etc.), plus any cardio that's not heavy on the joints.
