Thanks, I really appreciate that.
I felt all warm and fuzzy last week after making that lift. You train and train with no results and think that its never going to happen (especially as we get older), then one day BAM! You move up to the next level and have to check the machine. LOL, I checked 3 times to make sure I saw what I saw.
I've been experimenting with protein supplement amounts (after seeing some controversy on a couple of youtube videos). I added another 3 scoops(75gm)/day. Although at 28$ per bucket not sure I can keep that up for long, but we'll see.
On the other hand, I've also been getting an extra hour of sleep as well, after checking with my health care practitioner. So it could be that, or a combination of the two. The limited sleep might not effect you in routine daily activities, but it can have a big impact in weight training, and to a lesser extent, aerobic exercise.
