Strength / Weight Training

Joints - I'm old and my elbows are creaking, any supplements that aren't woo?

They're not suppliments but I've found the magic of joint supports like knee and elbow sleeves.

Anicdotally
In recent years, after years of (what I consider to be quite heavy weights) I found my joints were taking a hammering. Serious discomfort for days, sometimes weeks after a particularly brutal sessions. I've tried glucosamine (I believe) and joint support pills. And maybe so so effect.

I've hated the idea of using wraps or sleeves. Now, fucking love them. I can push hard and my elbows, particularly, are fine after big sessions. Which is great. I thought I might have reached that age.

The trick is finding the heavy duty versions. And they need to be tight. But they've made a world of difference to my gym time in this decrepit body.

Fish oil works for me. I literally grab a handful a day when things feel bad until they don’t.
