I'm going to have to try that.

I hope it works. My age isn't implied, I'm on the downside of 50 but don't look it. I have long skinny bones with narrow joints and they hurt all the time. One of the surgeons, can't remember if it was the one who operated on my left elbow, right elbow, neck, or shoulder said my tendon "disease" was so bad, and the disks in my neck and back so screwed up, I'd be in a wheel chair by 50 and never lifting again. So far I still kicking, lifting, and hiking. I just hurt a lot... a lot. How do I deal with the pain? I figure the day will come when I wished I had hiked one more time, lifted one more time, and so keep pushing knowing that is my future. Again, thanks for the help (this was before I was diagnosed with Diabetes and told I might be dead in 4 years).

Great post and I believe you really know what you're talking about. This was all news to me. Like I said, the surgeon simply wrote me off and laughed when I talked about lifting again. I'm supposed to be in a wheel chair by now according to the docs. Vit C and D. I'm taking none right now so this is a must for me. I am totally clueless about board or pin presses but I'll do some internet work and get up to speed on them. The last time I tried to squat, I couldn't walk for a week. This is killing me. I was going along fine until that car crash. I can do leg presses but I doubt I could squat again due to the L5 disk. But I'm real interested in what you suggested. This is the best information I've received even from a body building forum. I'm running off to print your post and start my research. I'll get back when I can about results. Again, I really appreciate your help.
