Getting Old sucks

Your carilege is not regenerated the way it used to.From 35-45, males lose about 50% of their cartilege regeneration. We shrink. We feel all the bumps and ridges from old wounds. We have to try not to wine.

Vitamin B, C, and D, plus a little E every week.

REGULAR stretching.

Speaking of regular, outmeal with fresh ground flax seed and fruit every morning.

Warm up before every workout.

 

Don't expect to lope alongside the pups in the pack.

They have something to prove more often than not.

You should have already proven it.

 

 

Sweet! So, at 47 that's all ended, right? :)... :crosseye::brew: ::skull::

You posted up on one of the other Beacon rants about being a 'has been' climber and something about shoulders. Did I misinterpret that and actually you're good to go and climbing at 100% - hey, fuckin' great for you if that's the case. Some of us are just old, beat up, and definitely have to compensate in some way for it.

I have found thru partners and my own painful experience that not climbing and/or hiking consistently, one will take on more injuries and pain when getting out. even if you work out at home. The hills, true alpine climbing and trecking are different (too me anyways) than pavement, stairs, plastic, and so on...Not that any of that hurt cause it only helps!

 

I know this from my own experience. I am older now :cry: and it fucking hurts to get out of shape and kill myself getting back into shape!!

 

Most all have done till this year has been off the couch. Not anymore! knees hurt for the first time...along with my other injuries i have been nursing (torn rotor cuff in shoulder OUCH, and a torn labrum in hip...double ouch!)

 

Only the past 2 yrs have been trouble for me.

 

I have learned this year that I can't do things off the couch anymore.... :cry: i hate gyms and all that running and workout crap!! So i get out and hike around at local spots and try and crag and stuff as much as possible during the busy alpine season.

 

oh and vitamin 'I' and whiskey is my true remedy during long multi day trips... :grin: !!! Not kidding!

 

not that my rambling helps ya...haha! hope things get better for ya!

The word "sucks" in the title of this thread was, for pink, like the porch light to a moth.

Clearly JH dominated Pink in a very shameful way on one of those trips out east. I think that's how he got his name. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

 

Still a classic but I thought we'd all moved on past this embarrassing moment, is round 2 coming up... what? How did the thread take a left turn? :shock:

 

:lmao:

I get restless leg at night and I can recommend that a little MJ does an amazing job at calming and warming the muscles.

 

I spent three years back in the 1980's working on a Parkinson's drug at drug research company in Irvine (N-0923). Nineteen years after it was discovered, the drug was finally FDA approved in 2007 by a successor company under the generic name of Rotigotine. It is now in clinical trials for a different indication- "restless leg syndrome".

 

The drug is a dopamine D2 agonist. It's very potent and is delivered by a patch. Interestingly, we tested it in rats to discover if it was habit forming. The result was that it is three times more addictive than cocaine when administered intravenously.

 

You won't get any of this information by looking it up in Wikipedia. ;-)

anyway, i've said many times Jh is a better climber than i am, joseph can totally dominate me climbing... and i remember saying jh would ensure success if he was your partner. but i now have other things brewing in my life at the moment and puling down hard is not one of them.

I'm not trying to be a better climber than anyone else, I'm just trying to be ballpark of the climber I used to be. To do that I need every day out I can get. Besides, at 57 and beat, I have what - possibly just this year to get that [endless] FA done before I have to give it up and then walk under it as undone anytime I'm out there.
