[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 148672, member: 18023"] Every gym I have been to had both machines and free weights. Maybe some cross fit / hybrid gyms don't. You usually hurt yourself by trying to hard. One problem is men are competitive, get in a group and it's even more competitive. Most of the time I have hurt myself from some sort of extended cardio, repetitive motion. If some joint hurts, I try and work around it by doing a similar exercise that doesn't hurt, or drop the weight a lot and take it slow. Like i hurt my knees from doing an hour of stair master 5 times a week for a month. After that it hurt to even lift 30 lbs on a leg extension, so I used 20 lbs, after 6 months it's fine. Now I do whatever weight i want on a leg extension. The guys I used to work out with, we also played some basketball, they are very competitive guys, one ended up in the hospital, one threw up. We were playing outside in Dallas 100 degree heat. We all decided better to not do that again. Many men that have joint problems use bands. [/QUOTE]
