heavy training and longetivity

[jeremys]

longetivity is very important if you lift heavy and want to keep doing it

mule is in his mid 30s and now has to take a couple months off a year. our own louden swain is having problems as of late.

what are some preventative measures?

i have a short list that may be right or wrong. please add some or discuss some things

1. glucosamine supps

2. maybe loose elbow wraps in heavy benching/lockout movements?

3. taking a bit of time off or lightening the workload often

please..help on this. i plan to be setting records and being one of the best if not the best until i die. it might be 20-25 years until i peak. i have to stay healthy..

I can't have babies because deadlifting lowered my uterus.

Oxytocin must have estorgen to work. So yes, you have it, but the lower your estrogen the lower the response. Opposite for women.
