It amuses me that people in their late 30's who try to go for high weight. At this age you want to tone up, not bench 300 plus pounds. It's not about strength, but trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Low weight and high reps. High weight at this age just increases chances of injury


And too much bulk is just going to cause knee and hip problems as they get older.

Tone up and get fit. Get to your Good fighting weight

The stupid bro science spewed forth in this one statement is unworthy of commentary...

I could write a book about people in their late 30's- 40's going for the 300 pound bench. Just workout with light weight to tone up. Again, I'll say it..... Your joints at this age aren't meant for high weight..
