Heavy is relative. At my age, I do not quickly recover from an injury. The mantra among the over-50 crowd is "press to lift another day." No more single-rep max days. However, there is no chant for the over-60 crowd, since there are almost no over-60 weightlifters. A few oldies do cardio... most walk the mall. I have admiration for the very few that still tinker at the gym: They look like they can lift a bag of groceries. I feel blessed to do what I do.
For us oldies, it's not about heavy weights. It's about risk versus reward... there is no reward for that risk.
Let's be functional.
