Any chance you are on TRT and using an AI like anastrozole?

LOL! Given that I have no idea what those things are, I'm hoping the answer is no...

No, I think I just need to evolve in how I'm working out. I also believe genetics plays a role in how we perform. Some folks are built better than I am. I'm OK with it, I'm still watching what I eat (though the booze still flows, not as much as it used to) and I'm not a lumper, I'm relatively active. I had built quite a bit of muscle in the 6 years I was doing Orange Theory, but there were times where I overdid it. Not in the workout, but the next day. I had shoulder pain for weeks\months in 2022 from doing front raises. I mean, it seemed fine while working out, but the next day and then weeks\months after, my shoulders were in pain. Not sore...****ing pain.

IMO, I'm just not in my 30's anymore. Haven't been for awhile and it's starting to show is all.
