nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts | Recently started training full snatch again at 47 - having regained my mobility my knees, back & shoulders suddenly feel better than they have for years. Next goal 100kg snatch at 77kg bwt (not much, but something to aim at). | ||

 u75kg World Powerlifting Champion. Member 601, 3067 posts SQ 222.5, BP 177.5, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | I f**king hate training and often ask myself mid session WTF am I doing? That said ive made a couple of attempts to call it a day and have always been drawn back into it by something. I reckon I'll still be training begrudgingly in some form for many more years | ||

 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6845 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Steve said:Recently started training full snatch again at 47 - having regained my mobility my knees, back & shoulders suddenly feel better than they have for years. Next goal 100kg snatch at 77kg bwt (not much, but something to aim at). Make it 101 and snatch yourself a British Masters record. (currently 100.5 held by Andy Seaber) | ||

 a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq | Been training for 12 years and had my down times and good times with more of both through my training lifespan If I can keep training like you have Martin then I think I'll always have goals be it strength or dare I say it in the future reps goals then I'll be happy. | ||

normal people, like me. Member 2325, 550 posts | Hit 30 and have already changed my training. Knees and lower back were not enjoying a relentless 'heavy' battering, and I was finding training mentally tough and dull. I also found I needed to start doing conditioning and drop a bit of weight, my underlying medical issues were necessitating it, and they will cut my 'career' short at some point anyway so no point hastening that day. Gone over to a very Dan John-esque style of training - sets of 10 and 30 for squat, Anderson front squats, fullbody or near enough, at most 4 big exercises per session. Really enjoying it, and have started thinking again about taking up a sport to train for. Is 80kg too light to throw the hammer? I'm just going to do what I enjoy. If that becomes a 9 way split with 40 sets of biceps, I'll do it. After checking that urge out with a psychiatrist. | ||
