incorrect. weight training is very good for your bones and when done correctly is very good for your joints as well. your joints are under a lot less stress when your muscles are supporting them.
I said bench press wasn't particularly healthy, not weight training.

Yes it is. I didn't say to do static stretching did I?

it's like you didnt read anything that you wrote in your original post.
