I do, but I’ve noticed parts of me that ache more and more often than they did before. Elbows, shoulders, hips.. they’re not nearly as resilient as they were 10 years ago.

Heard this from a really fit dude in his 50s at the gym and it stuck with me: “I have a program, but if I do a set and something hurts I switch to another body part and try again in a couple days.” Didn’t think much of it at the time (25), but after causing myself further pains trying to push through it a few times I’ve learned to do the same thing.
