Alright, so my dad has been having problems with his knees since I could remember, because he used to ball it up all the time. Well, lately, like for the past year and a half, he's been complaining of joint problems in his elbows as well. He uses this as his excuse to get out of working out, which I would bet good money on, is something he hates doing. My aunt who is a pharmacist listened to his symptoms in casual conversation and told us it was tendonitis, in casual conversation. Now, my pops does shit all the time that would put strain on his joints, but he never complains, only when he is working out. I can hear his joints strain so I know it's not really just him trying to get out of it, but he still goes about the world like it's nothing, unless he's around weights, resistance exercises, or exercise in general. Should I be a nazi about this and tell him to;
1.) stop doing all kinds of shit
and
2.) see a doctor, get some meds, quit trying to superman it and stfu
?
And what are some tendon-strengthening exercises can someone do? I'm not talking tendon-washing qigong, here. Even if I could learn it or knew it, I would never be able to teach him.
I always thought things like static high-horse stances would strengthen tendons, but I need some other input than just my experience. Plus, he's not one to listen to his son when it comes to showing his dad up in physical prowess.
The other day I was working out and my mom was commenting about how big I've gotten, my dad goes like "I used to be that big." Yeah right, man. I've seen your pictures, you never came close to this. Bff *flexes*
