Joint and other bone pains, last 7 days

Morning Fellows,
see the below picture highlighting where I have been having pain and below semi-explanation.

First my ? rotar cuffs on both sides
Second mid to upper spine before neck
Third, middle of forearms both sides
Fifth front of hip
Sixth ankles
Seventh both Tom Toes
and I forgot to cirle right shin midway

gear free at the moment

supplement is a pwo, creatine and FFF.

The pain feels dry and dull, could it be FFF? Could it be that I am lifting to heavy. Got a lot of strength from my first cycle and basically kept it with the exception on dropping a few reps.

I have the exact same pains marked in green. Red means no injury.



I have not trained heavy the last 3 months, but have more injuries in the last 5 weeks than what i had in 15 years.

It cant be the FFF as a few people i know have no issues nor injuries.

I blame age, but now you have more or less the same shit i have.... weird.

I am undergoing acupuncture treatment and recovery is brilliant.

Its not age ....joints or muscle ? omega 3 for joints ....

My sups and vits are spot on Mike. I have increased my mineral intake and busy monitoring progress. Must say acupuncture treatment sorted out a few issues. Dis kak seer, maar dit werk.

Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM as well

My injuries was tendon & muscle related. Never had those issues before.

Thanks Oupa, that's why I did not go to the doc cos he would send me for all sorts of tests and its probably something else creating this. Hell its annoying and worse in the mornings for me.

Bud you are over 30 and lifting heavy so it's to be expected. Arthrochoice or arthroguard from Dischem will definitely help.

Will try them thanks MA, your comment makes me feel old

It was just a sudden onset that is why I though it could be something else.

Did you use anything on your last cycle that might have killed your joints?

No my bud, used the beginners cycle and instead of winstrol I used var. Like I said its very recent...

It's age Bro, I'm 33 and lately I've got so many little niggles that it drives me mad

Age came overnight and kicked me in my Ass

Going to have to run so HCG and dhea for 9 months, slow things down a bit.

cmon its not F*cking age :lol:

lol @Mike! :lol:

Defiant to the last ey?

I’m in the same position re age and joint injuries from years of training. I consulted an orthopaedic surgeon a few years ago about this - he called it ‘mileage’. But he also said that the benefits of a lifetime of training far exceed the negatives. I train around my injuries, warm up and stretch a problem joint carefully. Maybe learn how to apply cross-friction technique to yourself - it helps my chronic quad tear. Accept using less weight but more reps and time under tension.

Cheers Mack, what works for me is 6 to 10 reps max so I will try MA's product suggestions and perhaps total amount of time under pressure concept for two weeks to see what happens and that way I can lessen the weight. Love the challenge that comes with heavy weight though.

Sounds like heavy weights causing problems. Maybe switch up your workout routine for a week or 2 using lighter weights, high reps with super high intensity, and keep it to one heavy working set per body part.

It will put much less strain on your tendons and joints, giving them time to recover. Plus you might shock your muscles into some new growth by doing something totally differently. I promise you won't lose strength or size in 2 weeks.

Im also full of aches and pains. Farkn elbow, this morning my lower back while getting some dumbells. My legs constantly feel like I had leg day the day before. Think I might have flu? Coz im not 30 yet:p

Doing really abstract movements also puts a lot of strain on joints and tendons. Scull crushers is one example, good exercise but is a killer for joints. Well at least in the case of my elbows.

Sounds like some of u are overtraining ...take a break....also concentrate more on the muscle than lifting a overweighted bar ...
