Power, Straining, When To Cash It In

I’m thinking you’re way north of 75% of guys our age.

Is aleve easy on liver/kidneys? I’ve never used it.

Its actually Naprosyn its really good for inflammation or swelling. Its not anywhere near as bad as acetaminophen. I from experience though can say to much of anything will effect liver kidneys because I was taking a ton of ibuprofen after I injured my arm and it raised my liver count my doctor actually had me stop.

Naprosyn works well is otc and non narcotic

I’ve got jugs of 800’s. I had to quit also.

It’s the only otc pain killer I use. So only pain killer I use. But even when ankle was bad I didn’t like to cause inflammation is good for growing

 

[Bigmurph6]

Yeah it just tears up your liver once you really start to pop them smh

Depends on the lift. Based on strength standards, I’m actually ahead of 87% of guys my age on bench, which is my weakest lift! But well below 75% on squat and DL.

 

[Dirtnasty]

God I’m itching to max my bench. I know I can’t right tnow but I want that 5 plates on the bar

@herrubermensch

Where are you coming up with these percentages… you’re cracking me up brother. Hahaha

 

[Poppy]

Easy big fella… a big gym lift isn’t worth tearing up your body.

In my late teens and early 20s it was all ego lifting. Fuck form just move more weight. As I got older (40s) and stopped giving a shit what others were doing I focused on form and “pump”. As I age I also have become more mindful of my eating and sleeping habits. As a semi responsible human being with a family I can’t have my hobby mess up my career. I won’t lie, I have the urge to go primate and see what this old decripid body still has left. Generally though how I struggle/feel on my last two three reps dictactes if I go up, drop set it or call it quits.
