    the bolded is the key. I'm 55, will be 56 in June. For a few years I was floating back and forth between lifting and MA training. Dumped the MA training back in August, committed to a 5 day split....

    Looks similar to what I was doing in the past when MA was my primary training. As long as it's meeting the goals you have for it that's what's important.

    I agree with you, like your response. I'm pretty much the same way. Clothes off the rack fit me comfortably. I have no need for formal wear, if I did I'd go get fitted for something decent. If...

    5 days a week. No legs, shoulder impingement doesn't allow me to properly load a bar to squat. Allows me to do some tighter isolation stuff with bis and tris by breaking them out in to separate...

    Nice to see. Mine started moving steel when he was 11. 11 years later he's way into it, thinking about going the BB route after he graduates.

    Only cardio I'm currently doing is walking my dog in the morning. Couple miles, low steady state. Only reason I'm doing it is because my doctor wants me to.

    I would echo this as well. When you're trying to add strength, maybe even get to a point where you're pushing a single rep max set. Once you've accomplished that, push that to maybe 2-3 reps and...

    this^^^

    You probably started with something manageable that was significantly below your max working range. I recently did the same thing- IE: in the last 3 weeks I've gained 60# on my squat and...

    Where I live we've got state, county and local. Then, being an area that has multiple major universities, we have campus cops that occupy a rung below local. Granted, it's a tough job at whatever...

    Seems to be a symptom of our society. I'm going on 20 years of a mostly happy marriage. I always felt like wearing a sign that said "trust me, I'm NOT interested"

    don't see any reason you can't do both. Up until a couple years ago my son played baseball at a highly competitive level. Practice and training never slowed us down in the gym.
