very good input.

we men tend to start out where we left off at 20yrs old.

It doesn’t work if you’ve been on the couch for 40 years!

A little DOMS is expected, but pay particular attention to your joints and tendons. If those are sore, take another day off.

And work at a consistent pace through time, with gradual increases.

Absolutely. We also think we can heal like we did at 20. I’ve come to the conclusion that it is better to go ridiculously slow to the point of head hanging shame instead of risking an injury that will stop my routine cold for however long my body decides to heal up. But losing weight does absolutely wonders for durability, so when actual weight loss comes you don’t tend to get hurt as much, or at least I haven’t.

We are living in a sci-fi dystopia where the poorest are the most likely to be fat and the richest are the most likely to be thin. These trends have reversed all of human experience. I often think we don’t think about how remarkable our current societal conditions are.
