My last orthopedist said people over 40 should not be doing such exercises.
I read this and now I have a better idea of what "such exercises" are. "...quit body-weight exercises - push-ups, pull-ups, dips - after age 40...Once you reach age 40, you should never work to failure. You should strive instead for perfect form."
I think my body weight and strength works well for pushups in my case, but "A push-up is a complex movement for the shoulder joint," Fenlin says. "It involves multiple muscle groups simultaneously. The shoulder is in an awkward position" so I guess I should stop.
