I'm no in my 40s, Ive had back surgery 2x and now they want to fuse my lower 2 discs. Some days I cant hardly get up out of bed or???? It just hurts to do everything.
IF I could do it all over again that is one of the main things I would change, NEVER work drywall and save my back or at least dont try so damn hard to impress my boss showing how hard of a worker I was. DAMN fool kid...

OMG I can only dream of what it would be like to NOT be in pain 24/7 or to get out of bed without having to roll over first and not just sit up.

OK back OT overtraining.

Rest and get big (time off) train ever day and break down.
I own a roofing company and worked in the field for 5 years, that's ruff on the body!

I busted my hump to build the company, but I have no problems with my body from it. Back is solid still, shoulders, everything works fine.

Granted i'm not 40 yet, 29. But I think some people are just more prone to injuries. I've tweeked my right shoulder a little once, took 2 weeks off and was fine. I've never had any injury problems at all while most of my friends who lift, have all had multiple.

I don't seem to grow as fast as some of them, but I'm content not having injuries. I never train to be 300lbs, and have always watched my form as I've always lifted for a physic not for strength or power.

I'm still happy with my stats though, 6', 210lbs when I'm sub 10% and have never been over 225 when bulking.
