Getting old, or something worse?

[Ironman404]

What's up guys.

So I turned 30 back in August of 2018, and I swear ever since then it has been one injury after another...aches and pains aches and pains.

A few years ago I fucked up my left shoulder pretty good...what I assumed was a labrum issue. For the past 4 weeks or so I've had pain in the rear felt which radiates down the tricep. OHP and barbell bench are the worst.

Since November I've had some nasty tendonitis in my right elbow/forearm. Got better (not 100%) but came back with a vengeance after doing some heavy hammer curls.

I just feel like I am getting injured and experiencing aches and pains at a greatly increased rate compared to even just one year ago.

I keep looking stuff up online, and all that does is freak me out...convincing myself that I have rheumatoid arthritis or Lupus, lol.

The only thing I really changed in the past few months was running 1,000mg of test/week vs 500 test and 500 deca.

Anyone else feel crazy like me about this stuff?

I feel great and have 8 years on you and sware by the gh. Anyone I know who is on gh feels great with no injuries. Plus how do u train, if your into heavy weight all the time, the body is gonna break at some point, that heavy weight does nothing for ya but hurt you, look at all the pros who never believed in the heavy training.

Thanks Roc.

I do like to train pretty heavy. Not like maxing out all the time...but 3-5 rep range often. I was up to 425 on flat bench before my shoulder issue awhile back...I know the term "heavy" is relative, but I only weigh 210 most of the year, less now.

I just started some Ipam and CJC a week ago...so I'm hoping that helps. I used that stack a few years ago and felt awesome.

That's pretty heavy. Things do change after 30. Train smart and get your issues looked at by a good doc.40 is worse by far.

I will add, it’s a hard transition for some to put the heavy weight down and train smarter. My partner still loads up the bar and does some heavy movements and I just let him be, I’m a bodybuilder, we are totally different than just weight throwers. I look at all these guys when I first started the gym, most have huge issues, hips, can’t even walk right, and just look bad. They may look at me and say the same thing so everyone’s different.

I have a script for meloxicam which works great but only use it when needed.

You're absolutely right, Roc. Mental game...putting down the heavy weights.

I actually did a high volume leg workout tonight...very light weight but stupendous volume and intensity.

Then turning 50 becomes pure hell. Seems the older we get the more we hurt.

I've done light deads 135lbs for 20...a big difference in weight but my legs were just as sore as pulling 455 for a single.

For sure. I did 225 for 25 on flat a few weeks ago (my shoulder paid for it later), and my chest was sore to the touch the next day.

It didn’t me.
It helped sleep, made me ravenously hungry, and that caused me to pack on a lot of bloat and fat.

Well wait till you are in your 50's...a different ballgame. I've been through enough in my life including serious injury to my head and at 55 it's been a world of hurt but I soldier on!

Last 5 years have really been an eye opener as far as training heavy and getting injured is concerned.
(Torn rotator, herniated disc's, torn elbow tendon) yet I still try to train heavy. (age 52 now).

Ill learn one of these days to lighten it up..

You still a young'un brother...keep soldiering on big guy (but do it safely!)


As we get older we have to respect the weights though.

I hear ya man. Obviously you've got a few years on me, but I've really beat up my body over the past decade...the last five in particular.

I'm trying to be smarter now and train with higher volume and intensity...putting down the stupid heavy weight.
