Well crap Dave, I am same height as RRR. And a large frame. I gotta lose thirty five pounds? That is a lot of beer not to drink? If I can still bench 300 does that help me? Hah! I am doomed! A life time of weight lifting sinks me! On serious note I have found as I age that my body likes the higher rep less weight routines. It is very difficult on my mind and ego tho! I try and stay in the 3-5 rep range and quite honestly at my age I need to be in the 6-9 range. I have also found my attachments do not heal as quickly. All the years of playing ice hockey and weightlifting help my overall health but in the end I fully recognize I am carrying extra weight that is ultimately shortening my life span. The over 55 ice hockey leagues are filled with trim fit guys, I can still keep up kind of, but in the end, 235 on skates is just to heavy. You guys inspire me, my down fall is and will always be bread. I love bread! Kudos to you guys for losing the weight! Rock on!
