Bone 🦴 5 Workouts I Wouldn’t Recommend (As an Orthopedic Surgeon) 💪
Not every “hardcore” move is healthy for your joints. Here are a few exercises I often see leading to injuries in clinic:
🚫 Deep “butt-to-grass” squats with heavy weight — too much stress on knees & spine.
🚫 Behind-the-neck presses or pulldowns — tough on the rotator cuff.
🚫 High-impact jumps on hard surfaces — cartilage doesn’t love concrete!
🚫 Kipping pull-ups & sloppy Olympic lifts — shoulder & back injuries waiting to happen.
🚫 Heavy straight-leg deadlifts — hello, lumbar disc strain.
✅ Focus on controlled form, joint-friendly range of motion, and smart progressions.
Your joints should last a lifetime — train for longevity, not just intensity.
