As I get older

**solesrch** · 05-03-2015, 09:14 AM

As I get older everything starts to hurt more. The only way I feel I can stop this is by working out more. I feel great during my workout, but my recovery is more painful now compared to when I was younger. Anything out there to help with this? I don't care if it hurts. Part of the game. Just wish I could rebound quicker.

Especially with my lower back after deadlifts.

MSM for joints.

Go get blood work done. Possibly low T/elevated E2/low E2 or a myriad of other issues causing your aches/pains.

Great info. Love crowd surfing for ideas. A thousands heads are better than one.... especially mine. lol

Maybe add some taurine daily. I had to give up the deadlifts due to my sciatic nerve. But the taurine seems to be helpful with pain and cramps .

One aleve can provide all day relief.

Seriously though, OdinsOtherSon had good advice. Do you take fish oil, glucosamine, or BCAA's? All help my Dad out (57).

Great ideas. Going to add it all to my toolbox

Ibuprofen, msm, glucosamine, chondroitin, and lots of water.

There's your answer ^^. Beyond that I've found that rest becomes far more important as we age. I switched to EOD training many years ago and could not imagine going back. I'm fresh for every workout and look forward to them more as well.

At 45 I have had to change the way I tackle my training. I have realized that even small things like changing the width of my grip has made a significant difference in not having shoulder pain and also cycling my training......no one can go balls to the wall year round.....at least I can't. I have found that cycling my training has allowed me to achieve more without dealing with injuries. I would like to add that DMSO can be helpful for some joint relief....take care

I had terrible tennis elbow. Kelkel suggested DMSO and it worked wonders. I also used castor oil packs nightly for about 2 weeks. All gone!

Op is 35. Seems too young for level of PWO pain!
