Power Lifting

As retired Navy I can use base gyms, and I live next to Schofield Barracks in Hawaii (home of the 25th Infantry Division) so use their gym 3 days a week. Working out next to the troops is motivating. I used to do a lot of powerlifting, but in my 60s find that I have good strength but I easily get joint injury (especially shoulder) so I have cut back and do more nautilus. I find the machines isolate the muscle with less risk of joint pain. The Army seems to like to do olympic-style lifting. I've never seen so many people doing clean and jerk or snatch anywhere else. They also have their new PRT where they pull a weighted sled.

I guess that's the difference between men and women. I always envy the women that way they talk, and laugh, talk and . . .like an ever running stream. Never EVER run out of topics! They seem to have so much more fun . . . .

Lol...there are men at my gym that spend their entire visit leaning on equipment while talking...I don't happen to be one of them as I'm there to work. I do have a short conversation with some from time to time, but they know I'm there to work and keep it short. Just a difference in people,
