I just got back from the gym, checks, shoulders. At 51 years
old, almost 52 can free bench 300 lbs, not bad I think, but gotta
be careful about injuries now.
I try to eat mostly clean as well, I keep my protein pretty high
about 220 grams a day, and the supplements that I've determined
seem to be best
Gym workouts. As we get older switching from free weights to
bands can eliminate pretty much 95% of injuries. Shifting 80/20
between bands and weights offers both the muscle strength workout
and the grip strength workout without the injuries. (A Tom Brady
longevity trick.)

Sounds good but I'd maybe substitute something out for the bench
press. So many opportunities for injury with that particular
exercise...form has to be perfect. I do mostly functional
work with kettlebells, TRX, pullups, pushup, bars and
ropes...and about 4 hours of cardio per week. We're the same age.
Injuries can set us back so far that it's hard to come back at our
age. The days pictured below are long gone for me....it takes work
now and avoidance of injury.
