@unclemendy 54 here! Everyday workouts keep things oiled. You won’t regret it. You are off to a great start! Progress way slower than you think you need. Injury prevention is key. If I take a week off for vacation or something, I knock the weight way back to get acclimated again. You could...

@nedlm10 Well, few things. I struggle with joint pains. Have since I was 30’ish. Check your diet for food sensitivities. Go ultra clean on the diet and see if they go away. Diet can be a big contributor. Progress more slowly. The Strong lift 5x5 program recommends a 10 lb step every workout...

@newbeginning1996 I always warm up. First squat at 135 when the working weight is 185 seems like a heavy start for me. My working weight is right about 185 and my first sets are 65 x paused; 95 paused; 135 x3; then working weight. My warmup before j even touch the bar is 5-10 minute dynamic...

@nikorasu95 Ok, what I read above is “got injured and never went back to it” Injury avoidance has to be a very high priority at our age. Whatever you do, do less and progress slower than you think you need to. Walk- not a leisurely dog walk. A fitness walk. Walk with purpose at a strong...
