    I'm starting to change my cardio sessions to HIIT - one minute normal, 30 seconds fast and furious. It supposedly has a brain preserving effect. I'll see if i can find the article.

        I bet this works for weight training too.

          When I have to "scroll" to select my birth year when filling out a form, it's starting to becoming insulting. And yes, I know we have longer-scrollers here.

                I worked out today, but my body was already unhappy with me for having hoisted wet mulch bags all day yesterday in a very rare day of yardwork. It shows that no matter how much time i put in on the machines, they don't work ALL the muscles. I'll have to look into adding some dumbbell work.

                  It's a trap bar. You stand inside it to do deadlifts. Usually they're closed on both sides. I use on at my gym. I find it much easier to lift with my legs rather than back with the trap bar.

                    I recently started doing real pull-ups and dips. Previously I only did the assisted kind out of fear that I'd injure my shoulder (torn rotator cuff in 22).

                    I've been trying to do 3 sets of 5 (up from 3 sets of 3). I can do that with dips, today I hit 5-5-4 on pull-ups. Still need to improve my form though.

                      Speaking of trap bars, a guy at my gym this morning had FIVE forty-five pound plates on each side of a trap bar and did a dead lift with it.

                      That’s 495 lbs.

                        You see things like that. It’s impressive, but I have to wonder how that much stress is going to affect them later on.

                          @Mik I agree. I dont think that the human body is designed of evolved to be able to handle some of that stuff. I think of US football. Having a 300 pound guy running at you full speed and jumping on you cannot be good for either person.
