It's legit. All the more reason to lift only 2-3 times per week. Or, at least, to breathe through reps.

If you can find how much more likely trumpet players are to get glaucoma, then you'll probably have a very rough estimate of how much lifting might put you at risk.

If you're worried that you're going to get glaucoma when you're 70, than stop lifting. I also like the title under the picture.... "Weightlifting can stress the body".

lol yeh weight lifting can stress the body, dumb asses. I wouldn't worry about, they might as well have posted, 'scientists have proven that there is a stong correlation between living and dying'

This action occurs during coughing, vomiting, playing wind instruments - and sometimes weightlifting.

Weightlifters, smokers, bulimics, and some musicians should all then have higher rates of glaucoma. That should be the next study after this one, to try and find the results that the research predicts.

They even say in the article that weightlifting poses a small risk, as long as u breathe properly (which u should anyway) dont worry about it. Besides life is no fun without risks, I mean if u stop or not workout as much because of a SMALL chance of glaucoma, whats gonna happen, you gonna get fat or out of shape and die earlier anyway.
