I decided I really must do more before my 40th to hit the strength targets I wanted to hit so am training heavy again 4 times a week.
Monday - compound leg day
Tuesday - upper back day
Thursday - leg day
Friday - lower back day
This is all good, I do 45 minutes for each session and come out knackered, I go heavy and push myself.
When 22 I was doing 10 hours a week, cardio and doing a lot of rowing while going heavy. I also went out drinking, did 2 night classes, college and my day job. I was fine.
Now, after a mere 3 hours a week of heavy work my muscles just plain hurt, I have to have a sit down on my 600m walk back from the gym and I recover in a hot bath for about an hour afterwards.
In a couple of years I fully expect to sneeze and simultaneously do my back in and shit myself.
I still feel 21
Dave!
It's the involuntary "arrgghhhh fuck ow fuck ow" on trying to stand up or get out of the car after that's bit damning, I sound like my Dad
