There are loads of other factors you should rule out first. Diet, body weight, sleep, work(desk or manual labor), are you lifting properly and on a program or are you just broing it out.
I roll everyday. I lift heavy twice a week plus teach all but two classes at my gym. Sit at a desk whether for work or gaming after the fam goes to sleep. I’m almost 39 and have been doing bjj and Muay Thai for 17 years. Competed professionally in mma and Muay Thai. No TRT no peptides at the moment. Had some semi serious injuries along the way.
Gotta look at how you live before trying to find a bandaid for poor habits.
Have you optimised your sleep? What’s your nutrition like? Is your training structured and periodised accordingly
Someone already said in here, don’t look for bandaids to cover lifestyle shortfalls. No drug or peptide compared to high quality sleep and nutrition when it comes to recovery
Your body is telling you to chill out. Takes its advice.
Another thing is how much do you weigh?
Youre training 5-7 days a week and wondering why you're sore?
Buy a cheap door pulley system for shoulder stretching from Amazon. Helping me a ton in recovery of the shoulders.
I’m gonna be 48 this year... you have no idea what’s coming 🤣
No peptide will help as anywhere close to what getting adequate sleep and proper nutrition will do.
I’d focus on getting those dialed in well before you consider spending money on peptides which will provide marginal benefits, at best, compared to fixing the aforementioned.
You are 32. You are very close to your 20s. You don’t even know what aging is yet. Seriously in your early 30s all that you’re losing is a little bit of top end explosiveness. Unless you’re a running back in the NFL you’re fine. Your joint issues are something else.
What’s your lifting routine look like? What’s your split/rep range? I’ve got a few years on you and with a similar roll/lift schedule. I do full body workouts (bench or overhead, back squat or front squat or deadlift, and rows or pullups). I’ve found that exhausting one muscle group (ex. doing 3 chest exercises in one lifting session) is great for aesthetics, but shit for doing any other physical activity with that muscle group in the days after. Your joints might be getting over taxed from your lifts, then you go straight into rolling the next day which is just going to make things worse.
Yoga might be a problem. Muscular elastic recoil is an important function and you lose that with too much stretching. Yoga leads to overstretching not only muscles but your tendons and ligaments as well as further tightening knots in muscles. Your body will start to rely on joints for stability rather than muscles which may be why your joints are feeling weak.
Hit up the guys at Optiva wellness and their TH500/BP157 “Wolverine stack” use code BJJBALANCE10 for 10% off. That’s where I get my stuff makes a big difference in healing and joint pain
Lift lighter and train lighter for a couple weeks at a time for better recovery. Stay on routine but take it easy here and there.
Collagen fibers form and mature over 3 - 6 month cycles, so peptides are more of a long term investment in improving the strength of your tendons and cartilage, which will allow you to recover faster later on.
Timing matters. Your body pulls peptides during physical stimulus. So take them 30 - 60 minutes before you train.
Vitamin C helps absorption. I take my peptides with lime juice or Emergen C.
That said, they're just a small part of your healing and strengthening plan. You'll get more immediate benefits from looking hard at your diet and sleep hygiene.
Training volume and intensity is the first things to look at. Peptides like BPC157 haven't properly been looked at in humans yet. It depends on what you want in life. For me, I would want to wait till human trials have been done. I'd also want to do any PED (including TRT) or peptide as late as possible, to push any negative effects into as late a part of my life as possible. If you can push to 40+ years old that would be better. You should still be healthy at 32.
