How to Train with Bone-on-Bone Arthritis (Most People Get this WRONG!)

I had really bad arthritis in the knee, I decided to fast twice a week for 24 hours, I did this for a total of 6 months. Within the first 2 weeks, I was back to 50% range of motion. By 3 months, I was 90% with 0% pain! Basically, Arthritis is inflamation and the best way to get rid of this is to fast. I promise. And totally agree, the more you strengthen your quads and hamies you minimize the pain and increase rom.

[@hanspoitras5778]

Great video! I'm 25 now, but back when I was 17, I messed up my knee in a sports injury. It messed up the cartilage under my kneecap, all the way down to the bone. I pretty much gave up on playing sports, both at a high level and in general. But things have changed in the past three years. I've had a few minor surgeries and got some joint injections to help out (lubrification not cortisone), and they've made a big difference. But what really turned things around for me was getting back to the gym and working closely with my physiotherapist. Funny enough, the routine I've been following is pretty similar to the one in this video. I'm back to playing sports on a regular basis now. The only thing I'd say is that getting started is the toughest part. In the beginning, the pain can be discouraging.

[@ryanfaehnle8493]

Dude, I love this story! Glad you are back to being active!

[@SludgeMan90]

I developed bad osteoarthritis and tendonitis in my late 20s, due to a pharmaceutical injury. I used to lift weights religiously for years prior and got into the physical fitness lifestyle in the Army. After I developed my condition, depression came swooping right along with it, and I did not do anything with my body for 6 years. Started doing light calisthenic exercises every day, from pushups, pull-ups, jumping jacks, burpees, and the like, in addition to hiking several times a week. I even went on two 28-mile backpacking trips with my fiance, which was incredible. Do I still have pain, crepitations, popping, and discomfort? yes! but I do feel like it's helping, and I'm finally toning my body and getting into decent shape, and I couldn't be happier. It sure beats sitting on my ass all the day. I highly recommend that anyone with osteoarthritis try to train daily.

[@HarvestingThings]

I've been looking for a video exactly like this 😭 i was diagnosed with osteoarthritis at the age of 26 and got knee and shoulder surgery. It was tough bc all the resources and treatment plans were for elderly people. I wanted to train 😭 i just turned 30 and im working with a personal trainer and im in the best shape of my life. It's def extra challenging and you need to make adjustments but it's so worth it

What a powerful and timely video. You ought to make a blog teaching people how to recover from paralyzing arthritis. I embarked on this road when I first trained with you. I noticed after exercise I didnt have pain as I moved. Today I'm convinced not working out is sure way to be miserable. I have, now had, rheumatoid in my right hand. Initially picking up heavy wts was too painful & difficult. Today I dont even give it a thought. What's great is my rheumatoid is arrested with no pain. Doctor at first thought I was crazy. Today doctor is now recommending wts for other clients. This was an important video. Thanks for getting the word out.

I appreciate this video. Not much stuff out there about working out with arthritis. Despite my young age I had been diagnosed with arthritis years ago and I stopped working out as a result of the severity of it.

I have been trying to do as much research as possible before getting started but it is definitely very limited.

I have diagnosed OA in my right knee. I know what you mean man. I had to give up Muay Thai. I was really good at it. Went to Thailand, did camps, had an official fight there. That’s when I went hard into lifting. It’s more predictable than fighting. I have pain and work outs require extra focus, but I’d rather cry in a muscular body than cry in skinny body.

[@Sasha-lg1ln]

​@@soundleague hey man, how are you doing now? I'm also a muay thai fighter, but I have severe OA in my shoulder. I'm thinking about giving it up (I got surgery almost a year ago), but I still have pain (obviously with sparring too). I'm switching to weights to help regain some strength. It sucks because I love muay thai so much, but I feel like it's a death sentence

[@soundleague]

@@Sasha-lg1ln I'm doing much better than 3 months ago thanks. OA is obviously still there but I've developed bigger muscles in my legs so I don't feel pain walking anymore and knee feels much more stable. Thought I was ready to get back into boxing but a 30 min shadow boxing session had my OA flaring up with old symptoms so I decided to honour my body and avoid all pivoting sports. I know how heartbreaking it is to give up something you based your life around, but there's nothing like a pump and let's be honest, it's way better for your body and longetivity. Thought about taking up BJJ because its easier on the knees but TBH I'm in love with lifting now. Focus on hitting your side, front, back delts, traps and chest. With lifting you can create a natural knee brace around your injury and dilute your OA symptoms, but listen to your body. I noticed that I flare up every time I do weighted squats so I switched to Leg Press and I have ZERO OA flare ups. It's painful at first but once you build up the muscles it becomes more pleasurable to work the muscles around your injury. All the best with your journey. Bless you!

[@soundleague]

Also don't forget to stretch when you have flare ups. Helps me.

This is amazing information Coach! Thank you for sharing as always, this is something that i can immediately apply to one of my clients. Its awesome to see the impact that coaches can have on peoples lives when done at a high level. I imagine that this is a technique that works well with most chronic injuries where the surrounding muscles start to tighten up and pain free RoM is restricted.

[@vipar8500]

Yes, mostly. Obviously each injury must be taken on an individual case-by-case basis, but with most degenerative issues, strengthening the surrounding tissue and doing a mixture of heavier loads for pain-free ranges of motion combined with light loads for full range of motion works wonders for a lot of people. When you have arthritis, the day you STOP moving is the day you START dying!

I have shoulders that hurt only when I put pressure on them like when I sleep on my shoulder, I stopped training upper body for that reason for about two years as I found the shoulder pain at night effected my sleep. Now train again and it seem to be ok as long as I don't do pressing exercises like benchpress and overhead shoulder press as these seem to put too much pressure on my shoulders. Pulling exercises seem to be OK and seem to help so I do mostly exercises that benefit the back. My theory now is that the all exercises using the arms also benefit the shoulders.

Thank you for watching! Yes, you can still get bigger even with banged up shoulders. Stick to higher repetitions and low volumes (think 1-2 sets to all-out failure in the 20-30RM range) using exercises that don't bother you. Incorporate lots of mobility work. I've seen lots of people get replacements and come back to lift hard and heavy, so there is definitely hope!

[@vipar8500]

Sorry to hear that. I've got a lot of content on my channel in regards to shoulder training that you can check out, but the biggest thing that you have to do is to find variations that cause little to no pain and then train those hard. This may mean limiting range of motion in pressing exercises (board press or floor press), or eliminating barbell work altogether in favor of dumbbells or push ups. Push up variations are usually a safe bet for people with busted shoulders. I can't give you any other advice than to experiment and find what works for YOU. Good luck!

I have hand arthritis and struggle with holding the weights. I've started resistance training using bands to lessen the load on my hands each day, but really wanna start weight lifting again. Any tips?

[@vipar8500]

Bands is a great start. Another thing you can do to help progress to holding weights is to just grasp items of various shapes and sizes and do some gentle squeezes to build up strength and get some synovial fluid moving in the joints. Things like rolled up or balled up towels are a great place to start. Work with some very gentle squeezes at first, and then as tolerated, you can start to squeeze harder. Hold each squeeze for 6-10 seconds. Grasp some small objects where your hand is more closed, and also some objects where you have to squeeze with your hand more open. Tennis balls, softballs, towels or washcloths, coffee mugs, pinching and squeezing a book, etc. Eventually your hands will get strong enough that you can hold weights again! Good luck to you and God bless you!

With this- will one be able to build significant muscle in their legs? Would I have to make sure that I have a full leg day at least twice a week? I don't necessarily want to compete, (as I once started to years ago), but I wouldn't mind looking rather close that I do lol! also, due to time off for healing from a meniscus tear, I have more loose skin in my leg area than I'd like. Therefore I'd like to smooth it out as much as possible by adding more muscle. I know some boy builders that have arthritis and massive leg muscles. But I think they developed the muscle moreso before arthritis decided to show up. I think they continue to train their legs b ut more for maintenance . Thnx in advance for your reply.

[@vipar8500]

Yes, you can still build muscle with this training setup! Obviously, you will be somewhat limited to how much tension you are able to develop in the targeted tissues without pain. This means choosing exercises that work for your individual structure and then training them HARD.... but there are a LOT of joint-friendly options for this. Strength training is the great for arthritis because keeping the muscles strong takes stress off of the joints and helps build bone density.

[@tantalus9306]

It was hard to find good info on that, despite having found(after digging a lot) a meta-analysis of 8 studies with a nice p value saying strength workout could restore function(don't care about the pain) around 33% and longer to find actual info on workout that isn't grandma yoga or wall push-up bs. I'm in my mid 30s and worked-out everyday, injured my collarbone at the shoulder(dumb fall) and was told by a doctor that even push-ups are out of my reach now and to go see a physio I cant afford and who wont help me staying strong. I can now forget about good labour work but I can at least feel good in my body, pull-up my own weight when needed, keep chronic depression manageable, and not be filled with absolute shame and disgust at the sight of a weak pathetic creature when I see a mirror. Now all that's left for me to do is to find tolerable work that doesn't involve lifting heavy stuff, shovelling, jack-hammering, etc(all the good stuff that I liked to do and helped me rest easy at night), pays a "living wage", isn't 90% interacting with costumer(might have to bite the bullet on that one(I'm not bad at it, It just make me feel miserable)) and all that while being the wrong gender/race/SO in the age of affirmative action(can get debts and a degree but forget about being hired and work in a lab white boy) in Canada.

Don't give up hope! With some intelligent movement strategies, you should still be able to train. Seeing a PT is a good idea too. Also for knees, do a TON of work for your hamstrings, for you shins, and for your calves as those structures support the knee. Instead of backwards sled drags, you can walk backwards uphill or up stairs. Go backwards both up the hill / stairs and down. Best of luck to you!

Absolutely, if you're smart about your recovery there is no reason you can't work in some heavier work!

I have bone on bone arthritis and I can’t even do leg press I can’t even bend my left leg as far as my right leg and I can definitely not touch my butt to the ground with my left knee bone on bone arthritis cause there’s no Cartlidge left dude dude

I've got bone on bone arthritis too, I understand your pain. There are some things you can do to make it happen, but it requires a lot of work and a relentlessly positive can-do attitude. If you've already given up defeat, then you are correct, you can't do it. Knee joint mobilizations and strengthening in ranges you CAN train in are critically important. You may never get FULL ROM back, but if you work to enhance ROM and then train in that ROM, you might be surprised that arthritis isn't a death sentence.

WHAT ABOUT IF YOU STAND ALL DAY AND YOUR KNEE GETS SWOLLEN EVERY DAY AND YOU HAVE TO ICE IT EVERY DAY I ALREADY HAD THREE AMNIOTIC STEM CELL INJECTIONS IN IT TWO. I THINK WHAT YOUR SAYING HELPS , BUT NOT FOR EVERYBODY. AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE LIFTING HEAVY AT ALL BECAUSE YOUR TEARING UP MOR CARTILAGE MAN.

Every case is most certainly different, and in advanced arthritis, joint replacement is warranted. My whole point of this video is to give people tools to utilize if they still want to do the activity that they love. For many things we do in life, the things we enjoy don't always guarantee that we won't get injured or hurt. You say I shouldn't lift heavy at all, but I choose to live my life on my terms and not just stay at home wrapped up in bubble wrap wearing a helmet because I fear injury or pain. If you load the joint intelligently, you stimulate processes and adaptations in the body that make the joint more healthy. The key is that this movement must NOT exceed recovery capacity. This is very individual. I know my limits and do my best to not exceed them. My whole goal is to give people hope instead of believing that their medical condition is a death sentence. This advice doesn't apply to everyone and you may require a joint replacement to get back to the activities you enjoy. No youtube video applies to everyone!! I wish you nothing but the best of luck in getting your knees to feel better. I know personally how much arthritis pain sucks, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Best of luck to you.

stop finding reasons for it, we like training because it’s a addiction
