Laying leg raises, do them slower, put the hands on the abs and feel everything contract and stretch properly, its well hard enough after 20 reps or so.

Thanks Ronan!! 

There is nothing wrong with strengthening the abdominal wall especially at 67 years of age.

Bhankys belittling of leg raises came about as my abs were better than his at 57 years old compared to his today at only 45 years of age.

Great bench numbers on their own, GR, even better considering you rehabbed a labrum tear.

At 145lbs your abs should be better than a 225lb man

Slingshot is not the same thing as regular benching

What is a normal ejection fraction?

Yeah, just lowering 135 lbs w/ out hurts. This gets it past that point. But "mid to lockout" is still pretty strong where it no longer comes into play.
Trying to hold some strength while this thing heals. Probably not smart, but whatever...

Mine is at 65% and Im told by cardiologist its "optimal" for my age.
