HEY BOBBY..... WHAT trainer? WHAT gym? I don't go to any Gym...that's for those who want to WORK OUT, which ain't Me! An 83-year-old who works out on a bench at a gym is asking for a Cardiac Arrest! You don't DRIVE your aging body...you PAMPER it! I just like to do a few moderate reps, not enough to cause a sweat, and that's just fine! Hal
Uh.....that place you paid good money to go to and work with all that computerized equipment you were bragging about!! The Trainer that you said took you around and showed you all that expensive equipment and hung around to make sure you did everything right!! That gym you posted about Hal!! AND........if you’re not going to work out what the heck was this useless piece of crap thread about!! Why buy something you are afraid of!! Cardiac arrest.....hmmmmphhhhh.......Drink your rum and coke Hal........ I’m done !!
I've been lifting weights casually and intermittently for the past 68 years. I never went to a Gym to "work out", just fooled around at home with home-made barbells. I now have a proper weight bench and am asking which method to follow for presses, butterflys and curls: Heavy weights and few reps, or lighter weights with many reps? Thanks, Hal, age 83
Definitely the latter. It's the reps that build the muscle. If you measure progress in reps and sweat, you're an athlete.
