I definitely belong on this section of the board!! I’ll be 50 in June and my workouts, recovering, accidents and surgeries have all been down hill .
I’m having to go lighter! Slower and accept changes that are hard to accept.

I just turned 53 so I feel your pain. Now I’m just trying to keep Father Time at bay.

I feel better since I quit trying to to lift heavy. But there are times I do stupid shit and get hurt bad.
I tried arm wrestling in December and broke my distal humerus. It’s been a nightmare! Lost 2 jobs since it happened and now I’ve broken a screw and backed one out so I might be having surgery again.
I thought getting back on a mild cycle would be good to replace lost muscle. Apparently the muscle was stronger than the fresh unhealed maybe 60% break. And I got hurt at the new job lifting heavy boxes.
So here I am Monday morning ina new brace called a clam shell walking on a treadmill. Lol

Same here and about to turn 61.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

I'm doing my best to not get old. It's only somewhat working...
