old thread alert! but wanted to ask a question of others with autoimmune issues.
I've got RA, mild, but I'm afraid I'm losing some strength (could be my meds) - not a lot but I am still riding/competing my horse so I'm hyper aware of things. Has anyone found heavy weight training, low reps (splits) to be a bad idea? I'm considering trying to find some Charlene Prickett weight work to see if that is useful. I mostly do TA with some Joyce Vedral thrown in. TIA! Terrie |

I also found this to be true.

I've had psoriatic arthritis for decades and had it when I found VF and entered the world of exercising. For quite awhile, I did heavy strength training for me, 15-20 pounds were my heavy weights. I thought that it helped because it helped to develop the muscles that supported the bad joints. The only constraints I found was that when my hands/wrists were bad, I had trouble holding the really heavy weights and had to find substitutes for push ups. (I did chest presses.) You might need to find substitutes for moves that tax certain bad joints.
