44 here and former footballer. Had a rough go the last couple of years but outside of a bout of Rheumatic fever and the inflammation that went along with that for a few months I luckily have no chronic joint pain.

In addition to the football I have also been a heavy weightlifter for over 30 years....somewhat backslidden of late.

Late 30’s early 40’s.

Muscle soreness slowly becomes pain in the joints. Plus the attitude of just working through some pain. We frick ourselves. Guys our age only know one way to work out. That also spilled right into HIIT training and CrossFit at the exact perfect wrong time for us.

What's crazy is the amount of time I have to spend warming up just to exercise.


Same here. I used to love getting up early on the weekends and getting a workout in before the kids got up and before the sun was up. Now when I wake up in the morning the last thing my body feels like doing is lifting anything.

47, feel it when I’m not active. On TRT and work out 4 days a week and feel like m 25 now. Just depends on how you battle age.

36 here. Pitched until I was 32.

Shoulder is toast, I have nerve damage and numbness from my shoulder down my arm into my hand. I struggle to pick up stuff with that arm because of elbow weakness. Other arm can lift it just fine.

Still run around and throw with my kids like I'm 18, just takes a bit to get over it

I need time for my joints to warm up during the day and get a few chicken and rice meals in before I try to go lift hundreds of pounds. Been like that all my life though
