Is heavy lifting worth it? Should we be concerned about its impact on disc degeneration? Yes, but we also need to understand how dangerous it is NOT to challenge the body as we age. The real key is to keep moving, but to make wise adjustments as we age. Perhaps you need to decrease the frequency with which your squat and deadlift, or reduce the sets. You could also try 20 rep squats instead of heavy sets. There are many ways to keep challenging the body without punishing it. If you stop moving, you die. Life is a battle. You move, you live. You stagnate, you die. Move, but do so wisely. Massive Iron e-book... http://massiveiron.com/store Need help?
