Over 40 Forum

Mr Db... you are a curmudgeon. 52 is ancient. Good to have voices of maturity here. We have a set of life experiences, goals, and expectations that is different from the young folks.

Are there any "issues" that you've noted as you've gotten older and keep training? I was talking to a 51 year old who was working out with his 26 year old son at the gym last night. The father was complaining of joint pain and we discussed Chondroitin/ Glucosamine. The son was giving the father shit for eating a bolagna sandwich before coming to the gym.

Mostly I just have to watch out for adequate recovery times and avoid injury. Once/week per body part seems to work for me.

I don't have chronic joint pain (yet) but when I've gone through difficult phases, glucosamine/chondroitin did nothing for me.

I've had pretty good luck with Cond/Gluc/MSM.
Try CISSUS in tanden with that combo.

Im no longer a teenager either. I didnt start exercising regularly until I was 30. Im glad I started and stayed with it, I cant imagine what Id look and feel like if I hadnt. That includes taking supplements and creatine as needed as well as staying up to date on supplement advances.
