…which I think has helped with muscle mass but was started to counter overall tiredness and exhaustion.

I had the dreaded low-t and over 60-90 days of exercise and medication it came back pretty significantly.

Listen to your joints, bro. Lifting is the fountain of youth but the last god damned thing

Go Zags!

you want to do at your advanced age is tear a shoulder or knee.

I do one to two days a week at the gym of what I call "old man day." It's all core training and physical therapy exercises to help the small muscles around key joints. I call it the "old man day" because it's a deposit in my health longevity that will yield dividends when I'm an old man. Try doing a litany of PT exercises for two months on all of your critical joints before you resort to taking any sort of injections. In all likelihood your joints are probably in decent shape but decades of sedentary lifestyle has led to atrophy of the tiny muscles that make up your joint systems. If you get those right, you make the joint right.

Actually felt pretty good. If I do not do something physical at least every other day, I get antsy. And that's part of the problem. I know I have been overdoing the weight lifting. I want to push the muscles but the joints are growing tired of it.

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.

Worked (a lot) with his hands. His hobbies were rebuilding / restoring cars and collecting (NOT SHOOTING MIND YOU) guns.

Now that he’s 81 and has arthritis in his hands and body he can’t really do car work. Cleaning guns is tougher because of fine motor skills in his hands has deteriorated.

He’s never read a thing. Can’t cook. Doesn’t enjoy music or going to a movie. Just goes to coffee then has a beer at about 10am and is in bed by 7.

injections daily for a couple of months. I also did PT exercises/stretches, used red light, and used a FIIX machine to rehab it. It took forever but it worked and I'm back to lifting.

I'm not sure what contributed most/least effectively, but the combination got me back at it.

and tricep extensions. I literally said out loud at one point "my muscles can lift more, but it feels like my tendons and ligaments are going to tear"....turns out I was actually tearing my ligaments.

It's brutal to come back from because that tendon gets so little blood supply so it can't easily repair itself.

Add in a scoop of collagen into your morning coffee. I do two scoops of creatine and one scoop of collagen and my 1st cup every day. The creatine you don’t notice at all., collagen can be hit or miss depending on the brand, but the Orgain collagen peptides from Costco is OK.

I use a small whisk but its not really needed for the creatine, just the collagen. Also, I find the collagen is the opposite of the creatine. Creatine goes in the mug 1st, then coffee, then collagen on top. The collagen clumps if it goes in first.
