[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2147165, member: 54178"] GENTS, I'm a geezer in my 70s who skis, backpacks and backpack hunts. AND my knees are OK because I I do not stress my knee cartilage with too-heavy weights. Carrying any more than 50 pounds will hurt your knees and doing very heavy leg presses will do the same. [I]**I hope all of you who carry training packs over 20 pounds are using packs with FRAMES that transmit 80% or more of the pack weight to a padded hip belt. [I] Otherwise you can damage spinal discs over time. [/I][/I]Learn how to use your pack's lift straps, adjusting them for up and downhill travel. You can take all the joint supplements out there but if you keep abusing your knee and ankle joints those supplements [I]won't be enough[/I]. [/QUOTE]
