The biggest issue holding you back in strength training can be your joints.
Just a little heads up, the stronger you get the more stress you put on your joints, with most people starting out your muscles get a lot stronger than your ligaments do at the start.
Ligament strength can be more of a time served requirement.
With that said, keep your knees and elbows warm at all times during training.
Heat and support will increase blood flow and in return aid in protection and recovery.
We have hunted high and low to find the best Knee and Elbow Sleeves on the market at the best price.
Hope this helps, I can not stress enough the importance of neoprene sleeves in your training.
