Up until he was 80. He’d work a ton at auctions then be off for a few weeks.

But he fully retired last August and has gone significant downhill since. He just never really had any hobbies and I think has no purpose or drive since retiring.

. . . even my modest lifting routine. I am getting discouraged. I feel like my muscles are ready for heavier lifting but my joints are saying nope.

Haigher, do you take any peptide stacks? - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 15:41:56

No, not really. I just do creatine and take a hormone that stimulates testosterone production… - haighter October 28, 2026, 16:01:30
- I think I am finding out that at age 58, my shoulder and elbow joints cannot keep up . . . - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 16:16:49
  - Listen to your joints, bro. Lifting is the fountain of youth but the last god damned thing - fratstud October 29, 2026, 09:45:06
    - After discussing this last night, I went ahead and did many of my PT stretching exercises. - Lexillini October 29, 2026, 10:54:44
  - Are you on an 18 month retirement countdown?* - WesMantooth October 28, 2026, 18:02:42
    - Hell, no. More like 10 years, likely.* - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 19:35:20
      - Too many guns! - WesMantooth October 28, 2026, 19:41:39
        
        I quite frankly do not want to retire. The thought actually scares me.* - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 21:32:17
        
        My dad had a part time / full time job with Mecum auto auctions… - haighter October 28, 2026, 21:39:49
        
        Got to stay somewhat structured and def active - WesMantooth October 29, 2026, 07:24:03
        
        I think my dad had the classic blue collar trap… - haighter October 29, 2026, 09:16:50

        My dad also retired without really having any hobbies or plans. - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 22:03:25
  - I had to take 6 months off from lifting because of tennis elbow. I took BPC 157 peptide - villain October 28, 2026, 16:53:46
    - Did you do the injections yourself?* - Learning_and_Labor October 29, 2026, 06:47:48
      - Sometimes…half the time my 10 year old super genius son who wants to be an anesthesiologist does - villain October 29, 2026, 09:53:50
        
        chip clip. Interesting. My friend has such trouble with injections - AceFrehley October 29, 2026, 11:30:54
        
        Works super well. I'm right handed and my right elbow was the issue so I couldn't - villain October 29, 2026, 13:58:30
        
        A chip clip, lol.* - Learning_and_Labor October 29, 2026, 10:38:33
    - Thanks. Going to keep all of this in mind when I talk to my doc next month.* - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 19:38:19
    - Got it. From throwing baseballs to my son. - WesMantooth October 28, 2026, 18:03:45
      - it was weightlifting mainly for me. I could feel the pain in the tendon while doing bicep curls - villain October 28, 2026, 18:31:50
        
        That's pretty much how I feel right now. Muscles themselves are fine. - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 19:37:22
        
        Best advice I can give is to immediately take a break and start doing stretches and eccentric - villain October 28, 2026, 22:48:29
        
        I will do that. I have a set of home exercises taught to me by my physical therapists . . . - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 22:52:55
        
        One more suggestion for you as well…. With the creatine that haighter suggested. - villain October 29, 2026, 10:34:42
        
        That sounds like a good idea. Thanks again!* - Lexillini October 29, 2026, 10:52:31
        
        What creatine do you use that you don’t notice? - Learning_and_Labor October 29, 2026, 10:39:51
        
        Orgain from Costco. It's micronized as well. No taste, dissolves easy. Like $12 a jar when it's - villain October 29, 2026, 13:53:38
        
        That’s what I use. It most certainly does not dissolve whatsoever. - Learning_and_Labor October 29, 2026, 16:02:49
        
        Put the powder in your cup first, then your coffee....you'll barely need to stir. - villain October 29, 2026, 17:21:34
        
        It doesn't dissolve. Not much anyway. But there's not much to consume. - Lexillini October 29, 2026, 16:15:35
        
        I get my creatine from Costco and I forget the exact name of it. - Lexillini October 29, 2026, 10:52:15
        
        So do I - orgain. I dislike it. I use a big straw* - Learning_and_Labor October 29, 2026, 11:35:29
        
        What are you mixing it in? I always do coffee and give it a quick stir with a mini whisk. - villain October 29, 2026, 13:55:15
        
        Doesn’t it just settle at the bottom? - Learning_and_Labor October 29, 2026, 16:00:46
        
        Hot liquids are the key I think.....dissolves much easier* - villain October 29, 2026, 17:22:29
  - What do think of something like this? Just a gimmick? - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 16:20:28
    - don't buy anything online unless it's from a subscription service that requires an online doctor - AceFrehley October 28, 2026, 16:28:38
      - Oh, I won't. Going to discuss all of this with my family doc next month.* - Lexillini October 28, 2026, 19:36:08
