Will weight lifting fuck up your joints in the long run?

Not if you don't overdo it, use good form and get adequate rest.
>>35233938
yes eventually it probably will
Does anyone have any anecdotes from old bodybuilders/powerlifters? I've heard that Serge Nubret had healthy joints because he lifted light weights. Ronnie Coleman on the other hand went heavy and he has a hip replacement. Steroids and other PEDs can also make the situation better or worse.

I know a guy that got so big so quick he can no longer reach his wallet out of his back pocket

Strength training in youth makes bones stronger. I'm not sure how much of an impact it'd have on joints though. Generally speaking though if you have more muscle you reduce strain on joints.
You should do cardio, but if you do low intensity shit for a long time it'll wear out the cartilidge.

"It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change."
Be reasonable, but nothing too bad will happen if you pray.
if go heavy enough, yes
just stay in a safe rep range and you'll be fine

If you use good form and full range of motion, lifting will help strengthen your joints in the long run.

What does "overdo" mean?
As in squatting three times a week?

Overdoing it means to grind the majority of your reps with significant form breakdown.
If your intensity is low enough for you to recover between the sessions you're fine.
>>35233938
Not if you pace yourself and use good form. It takes longer for your joints/tendons/connective tissues to acclimate to increased loads than it does muscles though. So as long as you avoid the trap of going stupid heavy too quickly and keep a reasonable pace on your progression to allow for your body to adapt you will be fine.
