If you're serious earlier like i was you don't need any more size there after 40, and going heavy can cause all sorts of problems, so it really doesn't make sense. I'm in my 40s, and since it's one of the best conditioning exercises it's worth doing sometimes while keeping the the reps higher for conditioning and cuts.

If your made to handle the weight, there shouldn't be any problems handling the muscle. Just little frames can't handle that amount of weight/muscle, after a period of time. Don't give me that shit.

You said you've been training for 40s years and you're in your 40s , care to elaborate on that one sport?

Learn how to spell you're and you'll have some credibility. Nothing to do with big or little frames lol some people rarely get injured even later in life, most do including Coleman and Yates for example.

"Monkey" once again justifying the name lol

Nothing wrong with that equipment, anyone who thinks there is likely has a lifetime aversion to working out.. :D That situp board on the left for example, sells for $1,100 and is used in many gyms. The olympic plates not shown there are the same brand used by Coleman in his home gym. ;D ;D ;D

Nevermind the bowflex, just buy a fuckin gym membership so you don't have to be in that room, looks like a health hazard.

Tiny, start working out for the first time in your miserable life and spend less time obsessing on me, i've had memberships longer than you've been alive lol

FYI i'm sure you can't handle a bowflex on any lift BTW LOL still waiting for your pic kid.

All of got so far is this pic of ND.

I still squat every few workouts....no big deal.

 If i did them every leg day and piled on the plates i would have problems, but the most I'll squat is maybe 365 and just go for high reps.

Yeah. Many people treat me like a kid because of it and they are younger than me many times. :-\

I wouldn't worry, most people wish they could look younger
