Im almost 40 so it seems ridiculous to go back to what I was doing in my early 30s. I don't bench press bc of a bad wrist...partial fusion over 20 years ago. Just dumbbells up to about 90-100 for reps.....squat I'll go up up to about 360 for several reps (weigh 220). Strongest yet and will be 43 this fall, however, I need to do alot of stretching now vs in my 20s and 30s. I would just walk in the GYM and start lifting.....I need to stretch 30 minutes daily now, or I'll get hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a positive effect on physical and mental health. Also numerous studies have shown that lifting weights helps prevent dementia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do barbell hip thrusts With 455 x6 and SLD with 245 or so but I can pull a hammy just joggin to third . I don’t want to be like the Chris sale of my softball team but I have to certainly warm up my legs prior to any activity as opposed to just not giving it a second thought when I was younger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Just started working out the last few months, after being really ill in the months before. I’m a new man. Evenings during the week to decompress after work. Mornings on weekend to start my day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...the people who struggle the most with recovering from injuries/surgeries/illnesses are those who do not lift weights. Ask any physical therapist and he/she will tell you the most difficult clients to work with are those who do not workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My trauma team told me that was why I shocked everyone with my recovery from a bad accident in 2010. I was right back in the GYM as soon as I could walk...they ripped my lat right out of me literally, put it back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I think Rev would see his forecast accuracy improve if he added in a few 30 min strength training routines.

Recovering just fine ahead of schedule for my knee replacement. All of my serious injuries I have bounced back pretty quickly cept the back fusion which impacted my legs. All those years of running walking in the ocean sand paid off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
