with that said I do love doing shoulder work out. I mix it up today was military and rear.

I work from home with a rack system free weights Olympic bar and bumper plates. I use to workout up to 3 hrs every other day. However my recover is much slower now and my cortisol levels get high with that much lifting and I become a dick lol

At 55 I sure can't go with the intensity or volume that I used to that's for sure, lol.

I also work from home, and go to the gym M - F... but where I used to do 3 or 4 sets of everything, I now only do 2, sometimes 3... but I also don't recover like I used to, plus I'm in more of a maintenance phase nowadays anyway, have been for years.

I don't do true negative workouts anymore, (most people don't actually do these correctly, or do them too frequently).

Probably like you, I listen to my body more now that I'm older, and sometimes skip the gym for a day or two if my body is barking.

When my son, (21 yrs old), is home from college, like now, (he'll be a Senior this year), we lift together... I just can't keep up, lol.
