I know I'm the novice here, and I'm never likely to compete, but you should take a look at yoga as a training tool. It's low impact and can be modified to relieve stress on whatever joint group gives you trouble. It also cann be a serious core strength builder and can work all the muscle groups. It doesn't lend itself to explosiveness, but it will help your flexibility as Alan noted when I came and threw with him in August.

nh_maclean, Jack Daw...you guys that have been lifting for a long time, you ought to give throwing at the Games a shot.
Ha! Maybe... I don't know much about the events at the Games though. I'm not a very big guy though I've started reading this forum to get an idea of it. It makes the gym easier if I've got a goal ...
“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.” -Paulo Coelho
