They say old guys shouldn’t lift heavy weights

Good thing 48 isn’t old and 255 isn’t heavy!

I started lifting at 42, fat, weak, and with terrible cardio. My first day in the gym one of the regulars asked if I was coming back from an injury because he’d never seen someone so big lifting so little (I think I was benching 25lb dumbbells).

These days putting 255 overhead is part of my regular Tuesday morning workout and my cardio is the best it’s ever been (thanks to 30mins on the rower M/W/F + BJJ most evenings).

It’s not too late to get your act together and get in amazing shape.

@dawn16 Yeah, who's "they?"

@takethiscup The voices in his head. I’ve never heard of an age limit on strength training.
