Well! It worked!
As I stated before, I quit training for any contests. I decided to focus on rehabbing myself and giving my body a break from all of the years of heavy training. I am so excited! My strength took a HUGE dip, but it is coming back quickly. And more importantly, I am more flexibile and better able to move dynamically. I still have a long way to go, but I think I have hit on the key.
No doubt, when you age, flexibility becomes more and more important. I am also beginning to believe that the flexibility training I am doing is reducing my lift strengths. But that is okay, I want to have hypertrophy right now and I am intuitively believing that my strength will grow with longer and more supple connective tissues.
I will keep you posted! But the most important thing; I am haivng fun in the weightroom again! I am not working and stressing about what to do. I go to the gym, I tear it up, and make my training partners hate me (Come on! How about a set of 100!) and I leave feeling GREAT!
Thank you Lord for showing me the path!
