Just looked it up and found out that the theory that it gives you arthritis is completely unfounded but that it could decrease your strength...

Yeah. I looked it up and it says that you can't get arthritis... The worst thing that comes from it is decreased strength in those areas.

That is true, the part about decreasing your strength, but only the strength in your grip. I learned that from Judo.

It doesn't cause arthiritis. The sound u hear, or the "crack" is just airbubbles.

I do, and I heard that getting arthritis from it is a myth.
