I started weight lifting in my Air Force days, about 35 years ago. I've kept at it regularly since then and am convinced it's good for overall health. About a year ago, I got a shoulder injury doing bench press. (Not the first time, but this one was from a lighter weight and it lasted longer.) I saw an older gentleman in the gym this week and thought I'd ask him how he keeps from getting injured. The older gent (his name is Ralph) said he recommends lots of warmups. He was benching pretty good, about half of what I was, I think I do ok for a mid-50s weightlifter. Ralph looked pretty fit, but his hair was totally silver. I was floored when he mentioned he has a son that's 61! I remain committed. I think it's really good for health.
