Today the study says this, next year it says that.....if I had any interest in studies i have lost it. Experimentation is my study and it's worked well for me
The most important thing is to just get out there and do something
Sets, reps, times, muscle activation etc etc
What the hell does it really matter ?
None of us here is an Olympic athlete, in fact, most of us are antique athletes
When i worked in the boxing gym, I was in my mid-50s -early 60s and I was in top physical condition.....but that's because it was convenient and I had the time and I was motivated
It was hot as hell in there and I worked my ass off, however it's not something I could or would want to do long term.....just too taxing on the body and the mind to continue to do those grueling workouts
These days, i have enough real work to do at home and helping my farmer neighbor in the heat and humidity, so I have adapted my workouts to be enjoyable and productive. This morning I was shoveling feed for his cows into a truck bed at 6:30 to beat the heat, it was already hot and I was drenched in sweat after a few short minutes. And yesterday morning I exercised early to beat the heat.
Hard manual labor can humble you.....having worked in construction, as a tower climber and tugboat deckhand, it's funny how you can be reduced to a stumbling, sweaty mess and never think of sets, reps or studies
I'm not out to set any records, never was and don't care about that, in the end, what does it matter ?
If I have to keep track of my sets, reps etc....forget about it, it ain't happening
Now, it's keeping the workouts interesting as well as productive and I'm really enjoying these workouts, even in the heat and humidity
I can see myself doing rings and other exercises into old age and that's nice, and I'm not in competition with anyone....even myself
My main goal is to be fit enough to be physically prepared to handle whatever may come along and that's what's important to me
Clearly, your approach has prepared you for these exciting and rapidly changing times we live in.
