Been lifting since I was 11 continuously other than periods I was at the boxing gyms training and sparring....oh and that one year and half I was married( don't recommend).
Recently I stopped squatting with a free barbell, it hurts my knees more than it benefits my legs so I switched to the hack squat machine and its much better.
I very recently stopped OHP with a free barbell and just use the machine after eventually an injury to my trap always occurs after a few months of doing it.
I deadlift but not super heavy anymore and with the barbell on the very bottom rung of the safety bar where the 45lb plate is just an inch and half off the ground.
Doing alot more pullups, dips, planks, putting the gyms gloves on and hitting the heavy and double end bag.
Pretty much I revised my routine for a middle aged man because you wanna stay fit and strong but gotta worry about injuries and preserving connective tissue.
Anyone else doing the same?
