I hear ya WV, I racked my body in my 20s ... Bench pressing 380lbs at a body weight of 180 lbs, way too much weight for a man that size. Shoulder shrugging 600 lbs, and then I got into body building and the dieting of that killed me!! I went from 20% body fat as a power lifter to 5% as a body builder in less than 2 years!! one extreme to another..My body is hurting everyday, please tell all you know, do not power lift it is not a good thing for the body!!
Holy Hell! 380 at 180....naturally?

Very impressive. Power lifting is a killer on your joints! I was never a "power" lifter but lift heavy when I want to bulk up. I am getting into archery/bowhunting a lot now, so heavy lifting is put on hold for that reason.

Heavy lifting is not good for you. Im almost 33 yrs old and I feel much older b/c of it. I wish I never started it. It doesn't mean a hill of beans now what I did back then in the gym, my joints are a constant reminder of those days.[&o]

LOL. I hear you. It goes away quick and you look back and say...was it worth it. I used to work out 5-6 days a week in my early 20's when I was in Jiu-Jitsu and trying to impress girls. I'm only 29, but I now only work out 2-4 days to maintain and stay inshape and that's enough. It isn't my lifestyle anymore. You know what a hassle that is.

Here is my workout schedule:

Monday - Heavy weights (upper body) for an hour, then run fast mile (6:30 min), then I take a brutal "Sports Conditioning" class that works the entire body.
Tuesday - Run 2 - 3 miles, then I box for a couple of hours.
Wednesday - Repeat Monday workout
Thursday - Repeat Tuesday workout
Friday - Off
Saturday - Either heavy weights (upper body) or I run 3 miles, which ever I'm in the mood for.
Sunday - Off
