Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22018 posts | I've never been driven to succeed (at anything). It's far easier to find contentment that way | ||

his poor male ego must be crushed Member 883, 6251 posts SQ 290, BP 180, DL 420890.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | samevans said:Luke do you not thing it might be smarter to consider that you are probably over a decade off peaking... Thus will be strong if you reduce the risk of injury and continue to progress longer even if this progress is a little slower? I don't train like an idiot mate and have no injury concerns right now I was just saying that playing it safe isn't neccesarily the right way to do things. | ||

Nature of the sport at high levels. | ||

just got PM'd Member 1945, 685 posts | LessThanLuke said: So? s**t happens. I wasn't particularly suggesting you did just responding to above comment. Of course it is going to be hard to make it to the top level without pushing the envelop. I am suggesting thinking on a longer game plan when looking at the risks involved with training super hard in intensity, volume, frequency would probably yield better results of the course of a career as it were. | ||

I don't disagree on the whole BUT at the same time you aren't going make it to WSM if you are worrying about what life is going to be like in 20 years time was my point(maybe poorly made) | ||

Sugdens crazy old person. Member 4936, 7288 posts SQ 270, BP 155, DL 270695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Sam is smart! I am 52! I've had injuries that took years to recover from. I just keep it moving and I am progressing! My goal is to be wiser! The problem is that everyone or a high percentage of lifters have retired! I'm an old man playing a young mans game! The cocky ones keep my temper alive. I love entering open instead of masters during season. | ||

It is, of course, up to the individual what they do to their body, but surely you want to be able to move around pain free when you're 50? Your opinions will alter when you're a bit older, trust me Very well said Sir. Every word as true as anything can ever be. | ||
