the truth will differ for everyone I suppose is the best way to start this thread.
For me since I never trained for strength, heavy low reps, and never did max lifts. I chose high volume and time under tension as my main tools, I learned a lot from John Meadows methods and his philosophies
I can say that today after viewing xrays and getting a total physical check up. My spine, my joints, cartilage and muscle health are all in very good condition, the doc compared my X-rays and mobility testing results to that of a 20 something male
In short, train hard but use common sense as your principle, intuitively train your body, there will come a day when your body and yourself will jointly be so glad you did.
For instance, this last moth and Im still woking on this even today I personally built, a 36’ extension to my garage for when I travel so I dont have to store my cars, my RZR and my sons 4wheeler in a storage facility, I did all the wood work and concrete, there was some 4x4 metal I subbed out since I dont have a welder and good ones are pricey versus just subbing it out
My point? do not listen to these guys that tell you things like...”wait till you hit 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 blah blah blah everything changes, maybe for them it did and does, but there are exceptions and that my point, stay healthy by keeping common sense as your guide in lifting, I call it “intuitive lifting” and today over 50 I literally feel like im in my 30’s.
Also, It needs to be noted this is my truth, my daily affirmations, and my personal gratitude goes to God for these Words of His He spoke to us who believe
Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]
I take His word like daily supplement(s) I live it out by faith everyday. When I first became a believer God showed me this, and how to take His word daily just like I take my supplements daily and the was 25yrs ago, God is good
peace and respect my bros
