old guys

Last November at the age of 69 years and 8 months, the center head of my triceps popped off of the bone while bench pressing 355 lbs during a routine bench workout. I had received warning signals in the form of soreness around the elbow joint but ignored them.
The moral to this is that no matter how old you are you can still be strong and make progress, but need to be more alert than ever to those sublte messges from your body that something is wrong. Keep lifting. Keep getting stronger. But lift smart.
I'm still rehabilitating the repaired triceps and am geting stronger. It will be a long road back to where I was, but I'm back on the weights and getting stronger each day - but now I pay attention.
