dwhembro Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Nope, get youself down. The last Northern Open comp had a 72 year old guy lifting in it who had just started 6 months ago. If he can do it then you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, quick question; how much knee damage is squatting and deadlifting going to do as a person gets older? Trying to get my Squats up to the 400 pounds mark and my Deadlifts to 450+, just worried about my knees which creek a fair bit walking up stairs!

dwhembro Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hi grappler, Quick reply to you... theres no simple answer. Lifting big weights will be bad for you if you do it badly and dont look after yourself. Pain and movement dysfunction related to training depends on the condition of your joints, particularly your hip mobility and stability as well as loading approaches. Programming methods, loading approaches and lifting techniques are all really important. Your numbers are getting to the point where your programming needs to be solid and provide undulating stress and your recuperation startagies need to be good too. Check out some Dan John articles, the 5,3,1 strength programme and anything by Mark Riptoe to help you. If you want to drop in at barbell we'll have a look at you. Try sleeping more, eating more oily fish, warming up and stretching better, drinking more water and less booze as well as lifting for quality of movement rather than chasing numbers for most of your sessions and things will improve.
