Light cardio, yoga, band work—do active recovery days actually help your joints and tendons stay healthy long-term?

Heavy squats and leg presses kill knees over time what do you do to keep them healthy long-term??

Any natty supps that actually helped?

Anyone actually cycle off stims or just cope?

Be honest?

Not 100% happy but way better than I used to be maintenance mode hits different tho

Trying to decide if it’s worth keeping in a hypertrophy-focused plan.

Evening for sure.Feel warmer, stronger, and way more focused

Mornings if I’ve eaten well But night sessions always hit harder overall

Night lifts all day Body just feels more awake and joints don’t ache as much

Mornings for consistency, nights for strength💪🏻

Morning workouts feel more productive mentally

It was accepting that consistency beats perfection.
Once I stopped chasing instant results, everything clicked

Realizing progress isn’t always visible.
Some weeks you just maintain

Not every session has to be a PR Some days are just about showing up

It’s all trial, error, and consistency
