What is now off the table.

[snake]

I know I'm over trained but need to extend my lifting cycle a few weeks until vacation. Elbows were barking pretty good 6 weeks ago so I cut out over head rope tri extensions. Now that the elbows are feeling fine, I tried them somewhat light last night... nope! Despite the fact I always loved the movement, I think they are now a NO-NO for my training.

Any of you guys have certain movements that you use to be able to do and now are off the table?

 

[Test_subject]

Machine shoulder press. It destroys my left shoulder every time. I have no idea why.

OHP? No problem.
DB Shoulder Press? All day.

Machine Shoulder Press? Crippled.

 

[Yano]

Not a lift mind you , but I cant run any more. Stationary bike for cardio.

Knees will not take the repeated pounding of running.

I tried to jog to the end of the road and back last summer and could barely walk for 2 days.

Chest flys

Pretty much barbell & dumbbell pressing

Think it's being locked in that's doing it?

Still, you can hit something close so that's good.

Yeah I think the plane of the lift just doesn’t agree with me.

I’ve tried multiple machines, too.

I am embarrassed to report being such a pussy ... but honestly my knees are toast (especially my left knee) ... I have given up both squats and deadlifts .. and deads were my favorite movement for years ... Praise the Lord I am still able to row and bench (also luckily no elbow issues currently) - but I know that my 300 pound benching days are limited so I keep things lighter for the most part and focusing on 8 to 12 reps more than those fun days of 3 to 5 super heavy lift days ....

So, @snake you are not alone and you young dudes enjoy putting in the work now knowing that there will come a day (sooner than you can possibly imagine) when some movements will either not be possible or be considerably lighter than today ... time moves so fast and years - even decades fly by ....

Back machines and MAG bar pulldowns. Both have a tendency to lead to sharp pains in my chest and back, and I'm not sure why.

The free weight exercises don't bother me at all.

I gave up flat BP in the 90's and over head/machine presses a few years later. HIIT on a bike. And more. As the years go by more things just get added to the list.

Incline bench. Absolutely can not do it with my partial rotator tear. Thankfully I can still do push press but strict ohp is out as well.

Nope
One side of my collarbone is out of place, didnt bother going to the docs, had a buddy set it after a break

The entire movement is off limits

Yeah that ship sailed about 3 years ago for me too

 

[Human_Backhoe]

Squat and deadlift.

This last herniation did me in. The stenosis is still bad.

I will definitely try again to get back into those two if I can.

Would it make sense to avoid running at an early age to avoid it ever becoming a problem? or run while u can

Depends. I’m 42 and can still run 10km on pavement no problem.

A good pair of shoes makes a huge difference, but joint wear also has a large genetic component.
