I know that lots of you have gone through this before so maybe you have a little advice for me. Long story short I have gone through many injuries this year, some gym related some not and my body just can't handle the stress of the sport any longer. I would have been more open to it if I had a good year, but due to injuries I didn't get much done. I have been in the gym for almost 15 years, 9 of which being competitive and I want to keep going, but my body is giving up on me. I plan on doing recreational next year but I know it won't satisfy me. Any way you or you child has gotten through with it?
