@lbrown742 There are risks to heavy lifting and risks to not heavy lifting. Personally I think the risks of not doing it are worse. I am lifting with a PT who has been certified by Onero, the only one in the state of MN. I have scores of -3.3 in spine and -3.0 in hips. I’ve been doing it several months and currently lifting 125 lb deadlift, 130 lb back squat and 50 lb overhead press. I have never felt better or stronger. No injuries. I weigh 112, and am 63, BTW. (6 years ago I fractured my wrist, which is the only fracture I’ve had.)
