I'd say its slower but in terms of difficulty you still put out the effort you did when you were younger. I find it more difficult to cut and hold on to mass. But bulking up still works fairly...

I would think with a herniation you need to be careful. I just got injured about 11 weeks ago but it's only a bulging disc at C4. Must be pressing on a nerve root causing inflammation and pain. ...

I did fully recover from the lat tear and am good as new. I resumed the same protocol as pre tear. No problems. The body is amazing at healing. Everyone is different and you have to study how your...

I'm 57 and been doing heavy deadlifts pretty much since I started working out with weights around 15. I still rep with over three plates. I could do more but think I need to start easing up. I...

Just some info in case anyone else runs into this. I tore a hole in my abdominal muscles resulting in what the docs refer to as an umbilical hernia. Not exactly sure but i think it was deadlifts...

Fair question. Its interesting that a mainstream Dr. like this would actually recommend 7 keto. I applaud this since the establishment typically defers opinions until there is further research. ...

Yes as others have said do what you can. Observe the results. Experiment. Everyone is different. In general, to gain weight, you want to lift heavy and do compound lifts like your squats. Basic...

For me its just longevity. I've been doing this since I was 14. I'm habituated to it. Yeah longevity. Stickwithitness.

at your age its fairly easy so keep them year round for the ladies.
at my age it requires careful planning, diet, and lots of cardio
LOL

I hope its on "Cops". Sounds like creatine rage. It affects some guys taht way.

you're not overtraining. Just enjoy. Make sure you add heavy compounds into your program. I believe the "overtraining" issue gets overused. Folks use it a lot when what they really mean is they...

I'm able to do 5 to 7 pull ups with just bodyweight now with minor pain and inflamation. I only do a few just to see where I'm at in the healing. I went to my appointment with my orthopedic surgeon...

Very good observation. Also cuz pushing oneself is f**kin hard work. So its easier to ease back and rationalize it on "leaving one's ego out of it" or some other cliche theory of the week. Its ok...

Thought I'd share a little insight that might help some folks who hesitate to work the back. Humans are descended from brachiating apes. At least for those who believe in science and evolution. At...

When you train for a triathalon don't worry about your weight. Just train. Your body will find its homestasis.
Weight training and endurance training tend to work against each other. Marathon...

Thanks for all the advices. The lat is healing. Actually I think its my teres major. Enough initial inflamation is down so I did a few bodyweight pull ups and can isolate the injury a bit more. ...

I'm wallowing in a bit of self pity. My right lat is injured. I'm hoping its just the muscle and not the tendon. I've got enough torn tendons already.

Its been a week off so far. I think its...

I believe deadlifting is the secret to mass and longevity. But I don't think 2x a week is wise. I think at most 1x a week but go harder. You should be training so hard that you need that week to...

Injured my lat too. trying to find some info to see if its a muscle tear or tendon. Could have been deadlifts or weighted pull ups. Hang in there.

Over years of playing hockey I had separated my right shoulder at least three times. The last time it happened it healed up with extra bone growth in the AC joint causing impingement. This hurt as...
