Joints

How do I remedy weak joints? When I did only 20 push-ups after waking up, I could feel the front of my shoulders (just above the pecs) under stress. Same for my knees on half-pistols.
Is this because of weak bones or not enough muscle supporting the area?

Warm them up properly, and do some mobility exercises for the joints. For shoulders, you can try scap pushups and overhead broomstick dislocations. For knees, try high knee walks, toy soldiers, lateral lunges.
-
before anything look at scapular stability - correct that first if an issue (and it usually is).

would taking glucosamine also help to strengthen joints? I hear of some weight lifters taking it daily.

They take glucosamine meant for animals and rub oilment meant to relieve joint inflammation in horses on THEMSELVES.No kidding!

if so, your cartilage, tendons, ligaments and of course muscles around your shoulders are not strong enough.
don't rush, maybe cut to 15 reps. -
