🦴 Two for Tuesday: Bone & Joint Week (PM Post)
Alright fellas, part two.
This morning we talked about how lifting doesn’t break you — it builds you.
Now let’s back it up with the facts.

💪 Strength Training: The Real Bone & Joint Medicine
• It builds bone, not just muscle.
Every time you lift, your bones get the message — get stronger or get left behind.
Studies show resistance training can increase bone density in the spine and hips, especially when you train 2–3 times per week.

• It protects your joints.
Strong muscles act like armour — taking pressure off knees, hips, and shoulders.
Research shows lifting can reduce pain and improve movement in people with arthritis, even after just a month of consistent training.
(National Library of Medicine, 2024)
• It improves balance and reduces injury risk.
Stronger legs and a stable core mean fewer falls, fewer fractures, and less time watching from the sidelines.
• But stop training… and you lose it.
Those gains fade fast if you stop challenging your body. Bone and joint strength only stick around if you earn them again and again.

🗣 The Rebel Reminder
Your skeleton’s not a fragile frame — it’s living tissue.
It adapts to the pressure you put through it.
Treat it like glass, it’ll stay fragile.
Train it with purpose, and it’ll carry you through decades.

This week’s challenge:
If you’ve been skipping leg day or babying those joints — flip the script.
Start rebuilding from the ground up.
Your future self will thank you for every rep.
