I did get checked around age 40 for cholesterol as my optometrist noticed more build up in my eyes than expected during my exam and suggested that I may have high cholesterol (she was right).

I find a band around the quads while squatting also helps with knee pain, I'm sure my slightly curved spine could be the culprit, but more likely tight hips.
I don't go higher than 315lbs (3 plates) anymore when going heavy, and usually hang around 225-275lbs for higher rep work (12-15 reps).
No need to wag the cock about anymore, lower weight with higher reps still elicits good size gains without the risk of injury and pain.
I always tell older guys who ask me shit at the gym, don't chase these stupid 20 year-olds doing 1RMs all the time.
Fuck em, do you. | Since I go to the gym late at night the group of regulars is much smaller and everyone sort of knows everyone. Even though the young lads who go at this time think I'm young and get shocked when I tell them I'm in my 40's I'm seen as one of the older wiser dudes that get asked about workout advice. That and despite me not lifting max I'm still lifting more than anyone else (at least for push exercises) and I just constantly remind them don't bother ego lifting and if they're serious about lifting it'll be a life long thing so what's the rush? I'm not saying don't challenge yourself but those guys who try cranking out 1 rep maxes on every single work or the ones who ego lift with terrible unsafe form there's no need for that. Having been in the gym for years I can tell you nobody really give a shit how much you lift, yea you'll get the odd holy shit man that's impressive but really nobody gives 2 shits.

I'm not genetically predisposed to be that big, and I don't have the height that makes me heavy. As long as I'm not eating ridiculous I really can't go over 200lbs, and I eat plenty of junk. Chips all the time, fried chicken at least once a month, sodas whenever I feel like.

I can't imagine eating myself into being 200lbs+ lol
Absolute worst I've done is this year at 166lbs (end of day, full of food and fluids)

my cousin got one of those continuous glucose monitors and what an eye-opener of regular things we eat that affects blood sugar. Sushi and anything rice and rice-related (mochi, rice noodles etc) are quite the spike. brown rice didnt really make a dent either.
