Bump!

Just wanted to let Nate know that I do lift now.... bro.

Nice....glad to know this thread is not completely dead.

I'm still at it too, but have stopped lifting super heavy as it was just too much for my old bones and joints.

Old man problems. I feel your pain. I started doing this program https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...hp?t=169172473. I started back in November, but got sick on my week 2 of it and was out of commission for about 3 weeks. So I started it over again and am on week 3 now.

That sounds cool, but weights are heavy!

Yeah they are! And they make you sore for days!

Funny as that is basically Ronnie Coleman's (Mr. Olympia) big saying:

Yeah just not worth it to lift so heavy that I hurt myself and then end up taking more time off. Now I just go in to stay in shape and have stopped trying to get huge; plus realized it really isn't that healthy to be a giant bodybuilder (like Ronnie above...guarantee that guy could not run a few miles to save his life). The good thing is I've kept most my stregnth even though I'm leaner.

Nice, I like that workout! Best success I have seen is with programs that constantly keep your muscles from getting used to a workout; hence the different weight and reps in the program. I like how it encourages to keep pushing yourself (increase weight by 10%). Continue doing this and you will be amazed how much you will be able to lift compared to when you started. MY bench press was horrible when I started but I forced myself to keep adding weight even though I hated it and amazed now at the difference.
