First, I applaud your effort. I was caught up in weight lifting in the 70's and 80's (body building's "golden years") to the point of lifting 6-7 days a week and benching 370lbs weighing 215lbs. Shoulder problems and torn rotators have ended all this. This period of intense lifting lasted from when I was 13 until I was 30. I look back at it like I was an addict and can't understand what exactly I was trying to achieve. I am naturally thin and have spent the last 10 years whittling down to now being in the 170's. I can't see any advantage of adding muscle mass at a later age unless you are competing some event or simply like how you look. Has anyone seen any recent pictures of the Governor lately with his "man boobs"? I have a pending shoulder operation on hold since it hasn't effected my normal routine. Nothing wrong with being in shape and lifting has many benefits. I think you just need to be careful of adding weight in later years.
