50's??? I was still bench pressing 315 for reps when I was 55....you want to know about pain?...pains??
Take my advice if only this once (I know I know)...get out there and DO IT...whatever dreams you have, whatever pursuits you've yet to pursue...DO IT. I will not lie to you...your 60's, if you make it that far, are no joke. Pain just appears...out of nowhere. The doctor tells you "walk two miles a day every day"...good advice. Except that after three or four days, when you try to go out for that walk..the hip hurts, this muscle strains, that muscle twists...you stretch and still are stiff as a board. You HAVE to rest a day or two to be able to continue. Of course the good ol' doc will have none of that..."if you're not showing gains then you have to ramp it up to four miles a day". Sorry Doc...this Bugs Bunny ain't buying it.
