I can sort of relate.
I spent the 1990's in gyms pushing myself to Always get stronger and I did. Got up to 225 lbs, not all muscle.
Beginning 2000 I switched to calisthenics in the form of a Navy Seal fitness book I got from the library.
In the fall of 2000 I opened my karate school, and I was down to 200 lbs.
My shoulders and elbows were not aching any more, and I felt great.
Lots of walking, basic calisthenics exercises for low to moderate reps and lots of sets.
And I got off the needing major protein Daily!
What works for me now is intermittent fasting.
Don't give up the Kettlebells if you got them. You're gonna want them in a year or two.
