legion, you are I are about the same age. Do you think weight lifting helps to prevent injury? I work on rental houses and general construction. I started weight lifting to build the strength and endurance for heavier work, but also to perhaps prevent strain and future injury. A side effect is I seem to be losing flexibility. Is that an unfortunate side effect?

I am just a puny runt. I can only bench 100 lbs. My weight varies from 160-175 lbs and Vietnamese genes means the bulk of my strength is in my legs. My wrists are absolutely tiny (around 7" circumference).
