i overheard a trainer showing a client how to strengthen their joints....

he said... set up the machine (whichever one you are on) with WAY too much weight for you to move, and then just press against it for 10 seconds x 3 sets. he was demonstrating on a leg extender machine and talking about the knee joint....

made sense.... it tightens your ligaments up, and reduces the chance of injury.

then again...... the next guy i overhear will be saying the exact opposite.
