training with hypermobility

Are there any people on this forum that train with hypermobility? I would love to learn more. Been struggling and feel like I am more prone to injuries

My wifes elbows have that hypermobility look to them - like a baby giraffes legs when she goes full lockout. I have just advised her to never do a full lock out on bench or any press for that matter completely. Keeps the tension on the muscle and off the bone structure. This has helped her with progress as well as steering clear of injury.
Interesting question tho, im sure some people dont even notice it to be honest. How are you struggling?
first of all ty for taking your time to respond, appreciate it.
It's a little complicated but i'll try and keep it short. I was really flexible as a kid, later figure out that I have joint mobility. Meaning I can pop my shoulderblades/shoulder/jaw. Personally I suspect I have hEDS as I have all the symptoms surrounding it, that's why I wanted to reach out and see people with similar issues. I just kind of work out like a bodybuilder, increasing muscle mass since it helps with keeping the joints in place/pain and mental aspect
No worries man, wish I could provide some better insights for you.
Id say just focus on keeping the tension of any movement on the muscle and avoid doing a full on lockout with a heavy load you arent sure if you can actually tolerate or control. Having a spotter would not hurt if youre trying to push yourself to new weights.
But I am not a doctor or a physical therapist and this is not medical advice lol. Keep them rotator cuffs healthy friend. Cheers.
