It gets old.

I’m amazed that you continue to suffer so many uniquely intractable system problems. All I can tell you is to revisit the Suggestions forum to see if you’ve tried all the suggestions as already provided. There has GOT to be something in there you’re overlooking. Personally, BillyD has no new ideas, system troubleshooting is not my strong suit, I’m more of a CC guy: Congeniality Coordinator. :)

At my age, I've decided to replace a bit of my cycling with some weighlifting in order to maintain bone density. My understanding is that osteoporosis is (at least somewhat) hereditary, and my 83-year old mother has fractured a few vertebrae just by livin'.

Yeah, I am a big believer in shock loading too, as in running down stairs. I don't think I have much of a genetic predisposition, but I weigh 140 lbs and tend sit around on my ass when I'm not on the bike, so I'm a set up. Gotta start the squats again, like coach [MENTION=140600]LAJ[/MENTION] keeps telling me too.

my mom has it bad too. Thankfully she hasn’t fractured anything yet but I know her bone density is an issue.

I started drinking milk again about a year ago hoping that does something.

And too stiff to ride, in my experience.

I am from old (old) dairy farming stock and went through a gallon of milk a day for my adolescence. My bones should be as stout as stout gets.

I'm not sure you adductor will ever be 100%. It's weird, as even now, I struggle to tie my left shoe whilst sitting down. I blame it on age, as it gets better every year. The walking thing will just happen. One day, I realized I wasn't walking without a limp. Same with running. It'll come back, even though it's not at all important to me, but your case is certainly much different.

The shower seat we got was magic. Even now, I wish I were still using it.

Not 100% but able to run sounds weird?

I think dietary intake is a necessary, but insufficient, factor in stout bones.

does drinking stouts help form stout bones?

Yeah, I had laid off the squats because I assumed that it put to much stress on my old knees...But last week a personal trainer told me not to worry about it and to start doing them again. Damn her.

Does it matter if it's a milk stout?

The in-laws look at real estate every time we come here. Maybe one of these times.

I guess I won't be chopping any of my fingers off. 2+ days in the hospitals is bad enough.

Yes. Even through racing season I'm doing 15-20 reps. Body weight-ish, but the maintenance helps. FWIW, we're getting heavy now, and it will continue through January. It'll start tapering a bit in February because the season starts in March.

Of course, I'm no Doctor, but your knees will be the last thing that you'll mess with when you do squats. I'm sure you know... If your form is proper, squats are the best thing you can do because it works a whack of stuff in the old bad. Dead lift is decent as an accompaniment. If you get to the point where form breaks down, back off on the weight until you regain it. Grinding is bad.

I'm not sure what you're saying, but I don't like to run, though I can. My adductor is still tight on that side, but it functions pretty well. When I lean over to tie my shoe, my leg/knee kicks out. Not like it did at the start, but it still does a bit.

Highly recommended for all cyclists.
