Like I said, I'd like to push myself and first see if I have what it takes.
In the original post, it talks about doing the same thing for 30 years; that doesn't sound very progressive. It's all well and good to brag about being injury free in your 50s, but someone training to be injury free in 20-30 years time is going to train different to someone who competes in bodybuilding or powerlifting.
Very good, how long will you give yourself?
What is your plan or goal when you realize you are average like most of us?
What will your workout look like in ten years?
You think by training and eating like you idols will transform you?
lots of luck.
I'm not bragging about being injury free, I'm mearly stating a fact, but to me, a healthy active flexible body is a lot more useful compared to all those second rate trophies for second rate sporting events and body building beauty pageants, whatever floats the boat.
And I admit, I was like you too at one point in time, I don't know the bloke who wore this article, but the message I receive is; workout like your life depends on it, because it does, try to find the minimum amount required to garner the maximum results, know yourself and your limitations, try everything and above all back off when you need to.
the irony is, is that a "workout/s" over time is designed to make one stronger, not weaker and injury ridden.
i have nothing to sell, I'm just mearly giving a old bastards perspective on a young mans activity, good luck with whatever you do.
