225×2 Incline at 50 | 165 lbs | Rebuilding Shoulders | BAR DON'T LIE #strengthtraining

225×2 Incline at 50 | 165 lbs The last time I lifted 225 for 2 reps I was 40–50 pounds heavier and 30 years younger. Powerlifter wannabe. In my 20s I lifted heavy all the time, did cardio only in the spring to try and lose weight, and eventually my shoulders failed. Lifting stopped, weight went up, and I had to find an alternate path. That path led me to yoga. Ultimately it brought me back to weights. This time I am approaching it more intelligently. Training while repairing. Taking time to recover properly with nutrition and stretching. Now at 50 years old and 40–50 pounds lighter, I am tapping back into muscle memory and strength. I do not think a barbell bench is for everyone. But lifting heavy things in some way is. Whether barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, or bodyweight, we all need resistance training to maintain and grow muscle, bone density, and resilience for the long run.
