Is there anything that can benefit recovery / soreness or is it all just advertising bullshit? I'm on the wrong side of 40 now and really struggling with joint soreness - knees, elbows, shoulders constantly fkn hurt, insides of elbows between elbow and wrist get bullshit sore. Starting to really piss me off.
 
Sounds bad man. I'm not as old as you and i noticed after around age 32-34 i started slowing down and getting injuries all the time, its one injury literally after another. But i do thrash myself in the gym on most days, so i kind of get myself into shit purposely lol! I actually look at an exercise i have found too hard when i was younger and say fuck it i'll try that now plus add 50kg to it. Its this mentality that gets me into shit quite often. But i like trying new things in the gym so i figure why not.

As for joint soreness, are you talking about all those joint supps etc?
 
Talking about a lot of ads I see for places like the peptide clinic and Sards - promise the world and if you believe the ads you'll be looking like Arnold overnight - I'm pretty dubious though, figure if they're legal they can't be that good.
 
Peptides are always a hot topic. I keep hearing of dodgy peptide places selling fake products. If you can get the real stuff then great, thats your only problem trying to get the real stuff. Otherwise GH mate or even try MK677. Have you heard of MK677? Look into that mate!

I won't recommend things like glucosamine, msm, chondroitin, fish oil etc cause i'm 50/50 on supps and i still believe your genetics are going to play the strongest role in determining your long term physical outcome.

I tried to find the podcast where he states his protocol but it was a while back. He does talk about his use for tricep tendonitis on his website

i say screw peptides. too many places selling them now and really you don't know whats in them unless you get a lab test. i really think that you're better off with and have more luck getting real HGH and going on for 3 months. it will cost you more but it will be way more effective.
i have so much chronic pain and repeated injury that i can not and do not go the gym any more. i can barely walk up stairs, winged scapula, nerve impingement, knees, back, shoulders and neck feel like glass shards and rust, and most days i just want to stay in bed. i've been to every GP, specialist, natropath, chiro, physio, osteo etc and tried every supplement out there and yes peptides and sarms, i have even now stopped all exercise and nothing has improved. never have had a major injury but so much damage that any exercise i do could risk it. i tried to get back in the gym recently after 6 months of sleeping and eating and resting and within 6 week, i felt things going wrong in my body and this was from training low volume 1 x per fortnight so i can't even recover from that!

i have appointment with a endocrinologist coming up as a final check before i begin my own TRT dose of test trial. later in the year i will be going on HGH pending a payment approval and of course availability.

what you gotta need to realise is that we're not 18-25 year olds any more and that basic lifting should be the norm from now on and focus on mobility. should be most of what you do and only like 1 or 2 exercise per session. honestly i think at some point you have to forget about progression because it won't happen any more and be content with just doing pushups and doing same weights everyt session. forget about "hard training" you're just there to exercise now. no more "smashing it" and forget about getting huge and all that stuff. just maintain and smart training. less is more.
should be able to train your whole your body with 5-8 exercises total. you don't need leg extensions, tricep kickbacks, side lateral raises etc. i'll never train arms again because my elbows and tendons can't handle it.

so in conclusion, fuck peptides. get on GH, focus on mobility, basic minimalist training only whats absolutely necessary. stop doing bro splits. less is more.
 
I am the same, had a knee injury for ages and now I have just ordered ghrp6 + cjc no dac and also BPC 157 in hope it will heal my knee. Really want to be active again. I ordered from a site called Aevol.com does anyone have experience with this site? I can't seem to find any reviews...
 
Short of arthritis the only true method of relieving joint soreness is a stable joint.

as in the antagonist muscle needs to be equally stronger the agonists
