TWILIGHT YEARS MY ASS. I think it's a hoot when some twenty-something year old kid ooo's and aah's over the size of my arms in the locker room at the hockey rink, or when they try to bodycheck the old guy and end up on their cans. I don't think in terms of old: I don't see an old guy in the mirror, just a guy who was too dumb to figure out he wasn't immortal until very recently.

Big Dog, I agree. While I would like to have more size, I am now looking to keep what I have. My main target is my heart(cardio). I take the 81 mg of buffered aspirin and drink a little red wine every now and then. I also do 30 minutes of cardio before I lift. The other thing I have found out crossing over 40(actually I am close to 50 now) is becoming less stressed. That in itself will add years to your life.
Yesterday I changed my routine to less weight and more reps. I went up to the 25 rep range. Yea the workout took a little bit longer, but I don't feel aching in my joints and did not have to sleep on a heating pad last night.[:-)] BUT, I did get a good pump though!
At my gym, there is a guy named Ray Stern. I think that he use to be a pro wrestler many years ago. I think that he is his 80's and is still moving around getting his lift on.

Welcome Scox!!!!!
Yeah I know the feeling, when I finally extricated my cranium from my anal orifice back in Novemember I was 308!!! Now I'm down to 286 and feel sooooo much better. Just keep at it, be sensible about your diet and don't starve your body, it will punish you for that.
This is a great resource with some VEEEEERY knowledgable folks around. So keep it and look forward to hearing more about your progress.
Paul

Now that's my role model!!
Hey guys, I am 37 now and back in the gym religously. I am a whopping 270 lbs. Unfortunately, I do not have the height to back it up. I am 5'7". My mid section has been the hardest hit. I had shoulder surgery 2 years ago and it has been a slow recovery. I feel 100% again and now have to fix all of the lazyness and fat I gained while I was down.
