I snapped my arm at the radial head from a overhead fall on Easter last year and have been PT'ing the shit out of the arm trying to get back to form
I'm 6'1" 210 lbs @ age 50. I work two jobs so its tough to keep a regular workout along with three kids and two homes to maintain but I'm trying ! ![]() Any of you guys older than 50 trying to get to your peak ? I ask because all I hear from physicians is "don't lift heavy, the disc's cant handle it at your age etc". ![]() |

![]() But I will admit, all those years of martial arts and crazy youthful stunts involving catching air and gravity like to remind my joints and nerve endings where it occurred,lol. I'm glad I'm not an ex NFL'er ! ![]() |

Put up 325 bench, 495 squat and 500 dead when I was in high school. Didnt lift through college (engineering). I'm now trying to get back into it. Have to deal with a lot of injuries first but, I nearly back to my previous numbers. I'm 5' 10" and a fatish ~210. I'm also 25 years old.

A couple months back while deployed I was benching 315 on the regular (on chest day) 4-6 reps. 225 shoulder press 3x 10. I'm 6'0 200lbs. I don't lift heavy with back or legs due to injuries. I lost my workout parnter so I haven't been lifting heavy at all lately.

Just upped lower body the other day probably could go heavier but I need real training, upper body is meh. I'm trying to kind of cut right now so strength loss was expected in some areas.
Squat 535(ATG) DL 565 Bench went down =( 69" 195 16% |

I've actually been wanting to cut last spring for summer, but I care more about getting my squat and deadlift up. So that's why I'm probably going to bulk throughout winter. Layers of clothing ftw |
