    Thank you for kind reply.

    "Also I’m a big believer that being older means more work,"

    On the flip side, at my age, Less work seems like more work :-) For me, a workout runs about an hour and...

    Well, it's been another year since my last update to this thread and I'm happy to report that I'm still going to the gym and still working out.

    Jake, Thank you for sharing and I do wish you all the best!

    I went through similar three some years ago. Same protocols, same delays. (Maybe even worse as it was during COVID and, after seeing...

    Actually, the lady who complained did have her membership revoked. (And now we know how to cancel a membership :-)

    Thank you for your comments. I'm not talking about "defeatism". Rather I lean towards reality, acceptance, adapting. Just three plus years ago I couldn't even raise a toothbrush to my mouth. ...

    I have the opposite. I go in angry and about 15 (to 30) minutes in I'm all mellowed out. I go all in (which is relative given my age), no rest, everything is pull/push supersets and exhaustion is...

    Thank you for your thoughts Tom. I reread your post several times before I realized I've done exactly that on occasion. There've been times I'm tired, not quite recovering, topped out. So...

    Me too. I'm socially awkward and get all clumsy when I get one ... especially if it's in a group setting. I do better if it's one on one and if it's performance related (rather than aesthetics). ...

    Good point. I've "stalled" and you made me think. I do a "full body" three times a week. I guess the next step would be a split routine but that could require a couple more days in the gym so I...

    Well said and I agree. That's why I put "cheat" in quotes. Sometimes it (using steroids) is cheat but many times it's just another version of plastic surgery or hair transplants :-) In either case...

    Left Handed Compliments;

    "You must be taking Steroids?" At my age it's kind of a compliment just to be noticed but kinda not when they think the only way I can do anything is to "cheat".

    Sometimes I'm asked like what's...

    I probably shouldn't reply because next to you I am a complete amateur. On the other hand your post was so well crafted I did want to take a moment to compliment you!
