This is a great read. It's spot on. I've suffered many of these thing as I've been fairly good from the 1980 to the 2000, That's a long time. I suffer from depression, extreme pain in all my joints. Man I've used a boat load of stuff. I've done most everything in this read. It's hard to go to the gym and not be able to lift what I did when I was younger. I'm 57 now and I still try to compete but my last three contest I've bombed out of. Never happened before. The funny thing is I love powerlifting even today and would not change anything done in the past. Just figured I'd share this with all the FG members. Last thing I was told by my dr. that I'm one injury away from back operation. still doesn't stop me.
