A workout that goes longer than 40 minutes is a waste of time
I consider my training longevity is due to acknowledging that exercise is a means of improving health.
How one performs the repitition is critical.
Full body workouts with an emphasis on the lower body musculature
Intensity of every work is performed at 100% for you, and I say intensity of work not just intensity.
Sleep is critical for recovery, not to be confused with rest.
Active recovery between workouts is essential
Warmup sets are not required
Stretching before and after exercise as a means to improve ROM around a joint leads to injury
A workout that goes longer than 40 minutes is a waste of time
Machines are not your enemy
Warmup sets are not required
At 50 i would be getting a good check by a competant physician, and doing a hormonal check to make sure your not busting your ass for nothing.
???
I thought they would be even more required for an older chap...
Would he really be "busting his ass for nothing" if test is a little low or whatever? Sure it would probably be harder to make progress, but surely it wouldn't be useless? And what could he do if test was low?
Not that I know anything about hormones...
Activation of TNF signallingvia the C-Jun Nterminal
kinase (JNK) can inhibit IGF-1 signalling via the
phosphorylation and conformational change in IRS1
downstream of the IGF-1 receptor. Such silencing of IGF-1
signalling in situations where inflammatory cytokines are
elevated has many implications for skeletal muscle [1]
There is increasing evidence that inflammation
contributes to the necrosis of dystrophic myofibres.15,16
When myofibre breakdown and necrosis occurs,
inflammation and associated cytokines are essential for
removal of necrotic tissue and for formation of new skeletal
muscle. Inflammatory cells and a range of cytokines
influence myoblast activation, migration, proliferation,
differentiation and fusion. Strong evidence that
inflammatory cells can contribute to necrosis of healthy
muscle cells[1]
Christian, what about someone in their mid 30's. I'm starting to get nervous!
Bit the bullet and had x-rays and scans. Is a partial thickness articular surface tear and tendinitis of the supraspinatus tendon. Doesn't require surgery at present, although arthroscopic repairs can be done. What would best treatment (aside from surgery) be? Physio or just time & rest?Made a small breakthrough today when physio isolated muscle issue in shoulder to subscapularis. OK to resume light training but avoid bench press, overhead pressing (damn it) & even push ups. I can work around most things but does anyone have some alternate chest exercises I could try? I could do close grip bench as long as I keep upper arms from going to or beyond parallel. Same with flyes if keep range of motion tight.
