There has always been a single truth regarding exercise: the greater the intensity, the greater the results.
Here is another truth you'd best heed: the greater the intensity, the greater the injury risk.
When we were young, our bodies were equipped to recover, so injuries were a minor setback. As we grow old, this ceases to be the case. An injury can cripple a seasoned citizen. At some point we need to get real about exercise intensity weighed against the results we seek within reason given our age.
I hate that shit!
There is an old saying: "...inside every old guy is a young guy screaming what happened?" Our minds remember what we used to do, and we still think we can do that. WRONG!
Don't bust up your body competing with your younger self. Our goals should always be to become the best version of ourselves no matter what stage of life we're in.
Too many guys sideline themselves overreaching their intensity level given the realities of those aging bodies. Don't do that! You must find your zone where attainable goals can be achieved with sensible training that does not break you down. Train hard...and train smart!
ALL IS POSSIBLE!
