Parts
Ugh! I think I’m getting old.1 lolol I’m realizing my 2001 parts aren’t as resilient as they used to be.
No sooner do I get back into a good solid gym routine after recovering from straining my shoulder and I manage to strain the other fracking shoulder! Its not a major injury mind you. I’ll probably have to lay off the heavy weights for only a week or two. I’m more annoyed than injured.
Fortunately, I still have all my original parts and everything still works. (knock on wood) Truth be told, I’m in pretty good shape. I doubt I’ll ever be as ripped but that’s ok with me. I’ve slowly worked my way up the muscle chain over the years. Here I am a month away from being 39 and I’m 5 lbs2 shy of breaking 200 lbs! And from someone who used to weigh 90 lbs soaking wet, that’s a big deal! Of course, some of that is fat weight but the ratio is very healthy and let’s face it, I like to eat. lol And while such a goal could be accomplished in a shorter time frame, being healthy has always been my primary focus. The purdy muscles are just an added benefit.
Anyway, I’ve always wanted to hit 210lbs. I’m sure I’ll eventually hit it but patience has never been one of my better virtues. lol I’m actually looking at combining resistance and interval training together. Last time I did that, I really noticed a difference. Of course, that is AFTER the shoulder is all better again.

Regarding footnote #2, I want to see pictures—or it never happened!

Gaining weight has always been difficult for me, too… starting at the gym soon; should be interesting to see if I can manage to put some muscle on this time now that my metabolism is slowing down.

Can I send some of mine your way?

I hear you on the age thing: my workout routines lately have me straining this or that. Right now it’s my right forearm and it is almost impossible to do curls of any kind.
But you are a bit younger than I….so you have something to look forward to
