Joint Supplements?
Hey everyone!
It doesn't seem like many folks post in this sub-forum, but I am curious to know what you all have been using for your joint pain during lifting? I have been using Animal Flex for approximately 3-4 weeks and it has completely changed my endurance and recovery. Mainly had problems in my wrists from 35-45lb dumbbell trainings since I lift every day (I'm 5'6", 157 lbs) and mostly do different Hammer & Chisel/P90+ routines daily. It is a combination of glucosamine, flaxseed oil, and other lubrication complexes. Great stuff!

FRONTLINE in association with the NEWYORKTIMES
had a PBS show a few weeks back on supplements. Worth reading transcript or google excerpts frm the piece. On another topic, I read some interesting posts online from either muscle/fitness or bodybuilding site about the damage of curls if you not using hammer curl technique. I'll try to find and post. I was getting pain from bar bell curls - which I knew were problematic. |

I use and swear by Legion Fortify. The magic is in the UC II Undenatured Type II Collagen that is in it. Scientifically shown to be more effective than glucosamine. There are other joint support products that have it as well.
My left shoulder had real issues from being sloppy on strict form for a bit. Rotator cuff issues. It was miserable until I found UC II Collagen... within a few weeks my shoulder was completely better and it has never gotten bad again (although I've cleaned up some form issues too).

When you took the UC II, were you incorporating any rest periods intermittently, or you just continued your normal routines?

I'm 5'6 between 195 and 205lbs. I lifted heavy in my young days and my joints took a bit of a beating. At this point I concentrate on form, time under tension, and mix it in with some drop sets.. Pretty much what ever joint discomfort I had is gone now BUT one supplement that did help was Baxyl Hyaluronan. I would HIGHLY suggest that you work out every other day if you are having joint pain and either avoid exercises that are causing you pain. Obviously also make sure that your form is good and that you have FULL control of the weight through the entire range of motion. If you are getting wrist pain then I would suggest you start working your forearms and avoid any sort of workout gloves that wrap around the wrist. Also never bend the wrist up when doing any sort of curls, wrist should either be straight or broken(bent down), bending your wrist up will eventually net you some nasty tendonitis in your forearms.

I mean it when I say I swear by UCII. Here is a link and a good write-up on the ingredients with references to the various scientific studies... https://legionathletics.com/products...ments/fortify/

Yes, two daily. I take it after I eat in the morning... not sure if I need to, that's just when I do it
