Better to be smart than injured!

Too true, too true...

Nice build out on the equipment front Jer.

I squatted last Wednesday and on Friday was sore as hell and got a bad cramp in my left hamstring Friday night . I think I need to add a light day into my program.
Every thing felt heavy today except the pulldowns .This getting old is for the birds.

Wanted to do some light sqts to try and avoid the DOMS I experienced last week.I tried squating with the straight bar,first time in almost 2 years. Not able to get low bar but wasn't too bad.I hadn't done reg DL's in a while so kept it light and did 3 sets.

Any DOMS to speak of, or are you settling in?

[BrooklynJerry]

Thnks for asking Brown Dog. So far I haven't noticed any soreness.. I am hoping doing just one main lift and one auxiliary lift will help me with recovery. I nneed to realize recovery is just as important if not more some then the actual lifting. Sometimes less equals more.

Excellent thinking, Jerry!

For years I lifted twice per week, one movement per session. Best gains of my life because I could put everything into them and if I didn't focus, I had to wait seven days to try again. Now that I'm much older, I may do more overall work, but only pushing one movement hard per cycle and not every session. Recovery is absolutely everything.
