“This old man is totally over that. You will be too one day as recovery from injuries takes up increasing amounts of your training routine.”

I doubt it. I’ve been lifting a long time. I am very careful not to ego lift. I also change my routines regularly. If I am bulking I may go with 3 to 5 rep sets at 70-90% of 1RM but I will be off this routine within 90 days and moving to a routine with higher reps and lower weight. My favorite is circuit training with 8 rep sets at about 60-65% of max. It is a monster cardio as well as weight resistance workout.

Good thing to change routines. If you look back into the 1980’s Muscle and Fitness articles, the “Weider Muscle-Confusion Principle” was utilized by those who listened to their own bodies.
