Im coing up 2 wks from the end of my first 12 wk cycle. I feel pretty good about my results. What I am feeling at this stage though is the stress on my body from the heavy workouts. It seems like all of a sudden I feel the aches in the joints. Its like my body telling me "enough for now". I know that at this stage in my life things are quite different and Im just being realistic. Do the older brothers on here agree? I'm thinking of maybe jsut doing non weighted excercises when Im done for a few weeks just to recover from the battle.
