if you work labor jobs, your body is going to take a pounding through the years. that just the way it is. although in recent years they've come up with some inventive ways to reduce the hard labor of many jobs, but they still use jack-hammers, tie steel, and sling all sorts of stuff. all of it takes its toll on us that those who sit behind desks will never understand. gov huckabee understands it though.
even taking care of yourself won't guarantee a body that's not racked up when you're older. never count on dying young. God's funny about keeping some of us alive longer than we anticipate. lol

Has anyone else noticed that you need extra time to rest? I still train 5 days a week, but the soreness is unreal. Since I have started getting gua sha treatments it is not as bad, but have mercy.

Yes, I find I need extra time to rest. In reading your original post, you sound almost like a copy of me. I'm 47, and I've been on HRT for 17 years. I get so sore in a workout now that I sometimes have to rest and recover for a couple of days before going back to the gym, although I think some of the soreness is due to training better for my body. I'm not type 2 diabetic, but I have hypoglycemia, a precursor to diabetes.
I don't understand why your doc would want you off of creatine or NO2 products. They shouldn't have any effect on potassium or sodium levels. The electrolytes I can understand since that would have potassium in it.

I went off for a while but ended up finishing the bottle of creatine and now use C4 as my pre workout. I think the doctors know so little about nutrition and our supplements that they just shoot everything down so not to be held responsible.
I still take my BCAA and they seem to help with the soreness, but I hit back on Monday and my shit is still hurting. I didn't even do rack pulls. Tonight is arms so lets see how that goes. LOL Tendinitis in both elbows. Bring on the dmso.

49 here brothers and killing it 5 days a week. Take BCAA daily, mulit vit, and at least 2 gallons of water daily. Have to use DMSO on the elbows and knee's when they are bad.

Also well over 50 here. The last 3 years arthritis has just eaten into my shoulder joint.
To the point the doc wants to saw it off and replace. I'm still at the Oh hell no stage.
I train anyway I can to keep pumping blood into that shoulder muscle group. I can pull, push.
Nothing over head. The arm wont go over head. I have been using Veterinary Liniment Gel
all over the should a few times a day. Gives some relief. The product is for Horses joints.
I read this line on the packaging. "Arthritis , A common condition in older horses, Absortine Gel helps to loosen stiff, arthritic joints and reduce swelling" SOLD I"LL take a case please.
I have learned as we age we can train smart. We can training around areas that bothers . Just keep training.
Otherwise doing nothing will sure be our demise.
Good luck to you all fighting the aging process. We still stand out in a crowd of 30 year olds.

the absorbine liquid works wonder for my knees after squats.i can definitely recommend it
I've have not used the gel yep also I will have to look in to DMSO as well
Chemist adding his $0.02 here.....
In a sealed bottle, uncontaminated DMSO shouldn't change at all, really, on the chemical side. What *might* happen, though, especially if it was in use a lot before it was stored, is that it will *dilute* just a bit from absorbed water vapour, which will, in fact, reduce the burning sensation (which is basically water and skin oils being dissolved *out* of the skin and into the dmso, which pulls them through into the body. It's not significantly weaker, just a little less harsh on the skin

That sounds corrects as I have noticed that the older my DMSO is, the less it burns. I have heard that if you put some type of muscle rub on first and then DMSO it will really get into the muscle. What is your .02?
Well, absolutely...that's what DMSO *does*. It has both polar and non-polar ends...so basically it can dissolve almost anything...and be dissolved *by* anything, and move through membranes almost as if they aren't there. That's why you have to *wash* the area you are applying to, because it will take whatever crap is on your skin, dissolve some of it, and haul it through....

I have a pharmacy that uses DMSO as a base for all it compounding agents. It is no joke as a potent transdermal. Therfore the problem can happen when you apply DMSO then other compounds that aren't meant to cross through the skin ( sunscreen, lotions, etc....).

Training has been going well except for my right shoulder. Going to have to KT Tape it up and push through the pain. Been doing several different treatments including stim and Ga Shau / Fascial release. Just have to play this one by ear.
If you can find a chiropractor who doe Active Release Techniques ("A.R.T." has a website with a provider locater) you may want to try that. I've had very good results from A.R.T. specifically with my shoulders. I know two ART chiropractors who routinely work on UFC fighters as well as pro bodybuilders.
I have no connection with A.R.T. and am certainty not a chiropractor; it's just something that works well for me and others I know.

I have heard of A.R.T. and have been doing some gha sha scraping on my shoulders, but the town that I live in is so small that we only have a couple of stop lights. LOL

I have added MC IGF-1r3 to my training and I have to say that it is a game changer. The pumps are unreal and I have notices that my right shoulder is doing much better. I am rehabbing it now and still seeing results. I have been in the game a long time and tore myself up, but now I am feeling much better overall.
