I have to train all of my lifts in the 10+ %1RM rep range or I'll get progressively worse pain in my joints. I feel fine when I lift but the pain starts to develop as time goes on. Dropping the weight and training in "hypertrophy" range with much less weight solves it.
Whoever said all you need is good form is a fucking moron. Wait until you get 35+, kid. Don't tell me Rippletits lifts heavy at 60+ he looks like shit and you can see in his eyes he's hiding pain and he's had multiple injuries as well so fuck that logic.
Strength training is really bad for your joints guys. I'm only trying to warn you now so you don't wind up needing a hip or knee replacement at 50 like what happens to so many heavy lifters. Look at the evidence it shows you can build strength good enough and build big ass muscles lifting with high reps. What's more important is lifting this way is much easier on your joints and cartilage. These things wear out and when they're gone they're gone.
Don't fall for the delusional powerlifter based meme advice bullying the fit industry. They're not looking out for your best interest. Bottom line is listen to your body. If you feel good training heavy keep doing it but don't lie to yourself, not even for a minute. If you're in pain it's not manly or cool to push through it. You will look just as good and feel better training with less weight for more reps and equal volume or heck you may even feel confident increasing your volume this way since you're no longer in daily pain and fear of injury.
