Reply to comment by zbbrox in Heavy-load exercise in older adults activates vasculogenesis and has a stronger impact on muscle gene expression than in young adults (Oct 2022) by basmwklz

It’s often injury. I work a physical job and I’m surrounded by guys with persistent physical injuries to their joints and backs.

At 41 the only reason I’m not among them is because I heal stupidly quickly and thoroughly, I still work out hard and do challenging physical tasks but I sometimes wonder when or if the healing will start to go away.

Anecdotally, i see a lot of people in construction being forced to retirement due to back injuries in the 40-50 age group.
