In Response To: Power and age (Tony)

I'm 43 and started lifing again at the age of 40 after a 17-year lay-off. My raw bench has gone from 300 to 400, which is 50 lbs. more than my max in my 20's. The key for me has been the realization that I need more recovery time now and I only go heavy on the bench once a week. Looking back I think I was probably overtraining even when I was younger.
