Any old ass lifters here?

Just seeing how being 40 and over has affected you? I still SQx2 a week DL once and one BP day. 4 days a week @ nearly 50y/o and I gotta tell ya, getting older sucks. Seems like I’m always recovering from a ding. I’m not natural bc I get 200mg twice a month in TRT. One thing that helps is when I see in my homepages is when some 90 year old is still hitting over 400 in a DL or a heavy geared bench....I still hit over 500 in the DL but I can’t maintain it. Might see it happen 2-3 times a year. Upper body is pedestrian for me, just don’t want to look like that I’ve never hit a weight.

being 40 is much different for sure. some days i wake up and wonder what body part will ache lol. i know guys in their 50's who take aspirin every night from weight training, that isn't what you want to go at all

my knees and shoulders hurt all the time from too heavy

I am almost 40 and have definitely trained differently over the past few years. I have learned how to listen to my body and take proper time off when needed.

When I started lifting in a gym at 18 there was a crew of guys in their 60s training at the same time I did. This one guy would come in from the bar next door and hit 365 on the bench cold, winning bets. I knew then what lifestyle meant. Despite the other habits the lifting stayed strong.
