[QUOTE="Steamer, post: 5218439, member: 74586"] You're already talking yourself out of the job. That's how it starts. You have love it or leave it. You're in pain? Aren't we all? Eat plenty of nutritious food. Plenty of meats and veggies. Bulk up on weekends and build muscle with extra calories which includes junk food for extra calories to build something. Cut calories during the week to stay in shape. The body only rebuilds itself during resting periods. So grow muscle when resting over the weekend. Protein is the key with extra calories to build. Build muscle around those joints. It makes a huge difference. It takes time though. The average body can only build about 2lbs of muscle a month. Muscle it made of protein. So eat plenty of it during the week to maintain muscle. Eat plenty on the weekends with extra calories to build muscle. Good luck. I've seen guys look like sticks because they don't eat enough protein and tear down their muscles all week not rebuilding it. I've seen fat older guys with easier routes too because they are eating too much junk. The fat older guys are actually stronger. Because they have maintained that muscle with extra calories and protein by accident of course and they didn't know it. Usually the sticks not eating enough food are the ones with more shoulder pain. Heavier guys are the ones with more knee pain hammering their knees and hips all day with weight. When you break muscle down it needs rest and building blocks to rebuild. If you don't you're just cannibalizing your own body's muscle for energy. [/QUOTE]
