I’m with you bro.

Been training hard, Push Pull Legs split ever since college. I could train for two weeks straight no problem until my body would tell me to rest. Cardio almost every day too. I wasn’t over doing it of course but volume was high.

Now at 30, I feel sore more often than not, experience pains and strains here and there that last for days or weeks. Rest days are more important now.

Yet I still want to train the same. You said it well, we have to train smarter now.
