Can you lift weights if you are suffering from whiplash?

I know someone who doesn't work because of whiplash, but can go about normal activities while like weightlifting. How is this possible?

It's called working the system. Nice to get disability and NOT be disabled. Moderate to severe whiplash infers that the person is weakened, numbness and tingling and unable to go about their normal daily activities.
Your taxes are paying for this!
I have little patience for people like this and tend to blow them in to the compensation board or insurance companies. I treat trully disabled people and the one you are describing should be ashamed.

I don't know. He must like pain.

If he can lift weights, he can work. That is rediculous. Sorry. I know a girl that was in a wreck, and now she has neck problems, so she can't work. Yet she can go and exercise all the time and go to clubs and dance the night away. I think she uses that as an excuse not to work. But I'm not buying it.
