[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starting to lift heavy weights at age 45 doesn't seem wise. Too much risk of injury & no need for bulk during middle age and beyond. Have you considered adding or increasing aerobic exercise in addition to lifting moderate amounts of weight ?[/quote] Everything about this post is wrong. Being strong later in life is extremely important because it both delays disability due to muscular weakness and provides a cushion so that you can lose strength and still be able to get around. If I can do single leg pistol squats at 60, I’m more likely to be able to get out of a chair at 85. You can absolutely start lifting later in life without injury. Get a trainer focused on big compound movements (bench press, deadlift, squats, overhead press), start very light (empty bar) and progress slowly. Focus on form, not throwing around big weights.
