Aaron Clinton 2,372 Posted February 23, 2014 For the record, I've done that with TrueNutrition's Soy Protein Isolate before. That description doesn't even come close to what it smelled like. Good god. Had to fill it with a water/baking soda mix for a day just to get the stench out. The gemma pea protein needs to be washed out asap because it is so clumpy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandt38 448 Posted February 23, 2014 Matt for example apparently wishes you would shove you uneducated opinion up your ass.Lol @ Seth.I wish I could be so succinct. I'm too verbose. Always painting the Mona Lisa when a Polaroid would give a better picture. I prefer to carry a hammer to a gun fight. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same, but I can't seem to stay away from the heavy stuff for too long. I up my cardio and super-sets, but the big heavy weights just keep pulling me back in. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dem beats 1,223 Posted February 23, 2014 So long as you keep the weight in the 8-12 rep range you should be safe. If your joints are actually truly shot, the best thing to do is stretch. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dem beats 1,223 Posted February 23, 2014 Lifting shouldn't swell your joints unless there is a problem. If you have actually worn the joint out, then it might exhibit some swelling but for people with autoimmune and inflammation disorders lifting moderate to mildly heavy is one of the best things they can do. Jogging is horrible, walking is ok, but slower movements with resistance help to strengthen joints better than anything else. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nem 2,019 Posted February 23, 2014 Keep in mind I wrestled heavy weight and 189. I also was in the lifting club and was able to bench close to 400 lbs and squat around 800 lbs my senior year. I may have abused my body a bit back in the day. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
