Collagen for Lifters – Worth It?

[James Johnson]

I’ve been seeing lifters talk about collagen for joints, skin, even recovery. Anyone here actually notice a difference from adding it in?

Collagen helped my knees after about 2 months. Squats feel less grindy now.

I started for elbow pain from benching. It didn’t kick in right away, but after sticking with it, I noticed way less discomfort.

For me it’s not about strength, it’s about staying healthy long term. Joints are what keep us in the game collagen feels like cheap insurance.

[James Johnson]

Good point, I was hoping for faster results. Sounds like it’s more of a slow payoff.

Skin and hair improved, which was a bonus. The surprise was less pain in my shoulders on OHP.

If you’re under 25, you probably won’t notice much. Over 30? Yeah, you’ll be glad you took it.

I toss it into my shakes. It doesn’t taste much, so it is easy to stay consistent.

We didn’t have this back in my day. We just lived with pain. I wish I had collagen then.

Wrists felt smoother after curls once I started. Small stuff, but it adds up.
