The issue is complicated further for older beginners. They don't progress as fast as young novices, so they are already pushing hard to make the sort of gains they read about, or see their young gym-mates making. It's really hard to know what the limits are. I'm finding out the hard way!<BR/>AndyAndy and Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13653596857524214714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-32392774884179800162008-10-07T09:09:00.000-05:002008-10-07T09:09:00.000-05:00Thanks Franz.

I blew out my lumbar spine twice because I was a knuckle head and lifted hard every time! It is a lesson that was self imposed....but I finally got the message. Slow, intelligent progression that is safe with occasional all out efforts is the way to go!<BR/><BR/>Nice post!Franz Snidemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07214347683076253495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-45056993059837083572008-10-04T16:47:00.000-05:002008-10-04T16:47:00.000-05:00Gube,<BR/>Please do. I think there are a few gems here and there.<BR/><BR/>Chuck,<BR/>I made the shirt. I think I'm going to have to start selling them - there seems to be some interest.

Sometimes it is hard not to come away from a session disappointed because you only made one extra rep at the same weight instead of adding 10 lbs!Gubernatrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09999343138585039296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-9742165281837895352008-09-30T16:11:00.000-05:002008-09-30T16:11:00.000-05:00Thanks everyone.<BR/><BR/>Most of my posts are along the vein of "Reminder to self..."Borishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13965125392095147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-23776172648296327642008-09-30T09:48:00.000-05:002008-09-30T09:48:00.000-05:00Excellent post Boris.
