    Age 53 and constantly fighting off something I've injured. It rarely has to do with my workouts.:embarassed:

    Thanks for all the comments! My injuries usually have more to do with play than actual training accidents though I have had my share of tendonitis. Free weights tend to keep me injury free compared to machines though I've noticed that preacher curls are hell on my forearm tendons so I just use dumbbells sitting or standing. That said, I also stay away from heavy weight on the leg press and depend more on squats after a rather uncomfortable injury a couple of years ago.

    ANewLucia - I totally agree with the rest every 4 to 8 weeks. It wasn't necessary when I was younger but this time around I need it and its definitely made a difference.
