Dem old bones

[skinnyman]

Ok, i'm 42 and been lifting and cycling since mid 20's. Tis the season get pumped and ripped for the early vacation and summer. I am real good in the off season with training and dieting so my bf stays pretty good at approx 15% and will go to approx 11-13% and possibly lower.

A few months back i hurt my shoulder, went to my hot asian chick doc and she told me i had a touch of arthritis (i offered to strip down entirely but she said it was not necessary). I layed off the workout for about 2 weeks and started taking liquid Glucosamine/Chondroiton/MSN religously. I have not had any pain but my bones, especially in my shoulders are clicking and making noises.

Any of you older gents have the same issue?

Re: Dem old bones

from what I have been told by some orthopedist book, it is clicking andf popping is ok so long as it doesnt have PAIN associated with it...from my own experience, I have seen people get popping of joints when their bodyfat dips way down in single digits. Tendons will tend to snap over a bump on a bone.

Re: Dem old bones

right shoulder gives me a fit here and there...i just work around it. lighter weight, higher reps, shorter time between sets...then, i start working my way back up till i get to the point that it's bothersome again...probobly not the way a doc would say to do it....but i just go with what works!

All my joints sound like a bowl of rice crispies and the older you get the worse it is.

Re: Dem old bones

Both knees creak and pop,left shoulder has a pop during presses,both elbows are sore, lower back has had S1 & L5 bulged out. Do I need to continue?
I just turned 50 and have no indication that I want to stop lifting like I am used to doing.
