  • You won't get big - it will tone you up. And you'll see the effects in your arms and upper torso as well. Everything I read is positive about resistance training as an adult - I'm guessing by your picture avatar that you are one. Good luck!!! And keep up the great work!!!

  • I agree with ecjim - start out lighter than before your injury. One of my friends told me years ago..."Muscles have memory." You'll get back to the old weight pretty quickly after your body get acclimated to lifting again. WTG on your dedication and determination!!!

  • I eat a banana every morning to start toward this goal. Potassium-rich foods include many fruits, green vegetables, potatoes, and some types of fish, to name a few.

  • Stretching before AND after a workout has helped me a lot (along with the occasional Aleve). It's just part of our bodies getting older - knees, backs, shoulders, and other joints need a little more care and time off than when we were 20-30 year-olds. As another post said earlier, make sure to consult your doctor before…

  • Between sets of lifting, I walk around 1/4 mile inside the gym, either on an empty racquetball court, or a few flight of stairs to keep my heartrate up.
