I currently am battling a string of injuries that are really preventing me from training like I want to.....I've had the same injuries for a good 4 months at least.....seems like they'll never heal despite really slowing down my training quite a bit. Any older getbiggers still train hard without constant and nagging injuries or joint pain?  >:(

I'm 53 and I sustained my first REAL injuries a few months back when I decided to train at the commercial gym. Heavy bench to 405 x 2, Incline DB presses to 115's for sets of 4x8 with no problems. It's when I went to the Hammer Strength Incline. Since the movement starts at the bottom having to leverage to the top position, i felt a little discomfort but finished the rest of the training (Triceps). I woke up in the middle of the night with both shoulders in excruciating pain. For the next three weeks I had a hard time sleeping. I blew out both biceps tendons, no tears just out the groove on both shoulders.

This was the first injury that really put me out of training and training heavy. Even now I'm probably at about 60-70% when pressing either DB or BB. Doubt I'll ever get back to heavy bench or even heavy DB work.

absolutely, sports science is a way more advanced now. With foam rollers, knee sleeves, compression everything, oly shoes, slingshots,ect ect, insurance covering massages\chiropractic sessions and just general emphasis on movement and mobility wods. just having a phone to video a lift to form check injuries should be wayyy less of an issue these days.

Not reading 4 pages.

15-20 reps.  Lift light > not lifting at all.

Look at Benfatto's right pec. That's what heavy lifting does for a middle aged lifter.
