I don't have an answer and was looking for one. I don't have Arthritis. I do cardio daily and heavy weights 3X a week. Someone criticized my weight training form as having insufficient range of motion. I am wondering, SO WHAT?

I'm not interested in any form of competition, but only from a health perspective. My own prejudice is that the more range of motion, say in a bench press, the more risk to say damaging your rotator cuff. Same with squats -- too deep means (to me) risk to your knees.
