Yeah, I lift, but mainly out of recreation and to get rid of stress from work. But I found a video one day when looking at an alternate trap exercise for building the upper parts, and woever was talking off-handedly mentioned that lifters will develop issues because they are building an imbalance in their neck/skull muscles (they used the word migraine, which I suffered from pretty heavily at one point, almost costing me my job). When I started paying attention to what muscles I was working and what the antogonists to them were, specifically trying to balance my body, I realized that almost all of my physical issues that I had chalked up to "genetics" we're actually muscular imbalances. My lower spine being over arched, my knees popping. Even my wrist pain, and a finger issue (I think it's called "trigger finger", but my pinky couldn't casually move between open and closed, there was a snap to it). Genetics may have a small part in predisposition to it, but my past few years have led me to believe that almost all physical "maladies" I, and most people have, can be fixed by muscular balancing.
