It is because of many of the listed arguments in this topic that I personally came to the conclusion some time ago that there is no point in doing heavy lifting and having a constant desire to increase my strength in these exercises. As much as I’m in denial, I think that even a predominantly machine workout will be plenty enough to keep me feeling toned and defying sarcopenia if I put in enough effort. Once the factors of mechanical stress, metabolic stress and muscle damage are present, there is no point in performing risky exercises or those that do not bring me pleasure.

I’ve recently come to a similar conclusion with regards to certain movements. Since most programs, it appears, center around the same specific movements, I’ve resorted to manipulating existing programs in order to logically periodize my training. As long as there is effort and consistency, specific movements hardly matters, as long as I cover the basic movement patterns.

I know this is a bit of a derailment…apologies if this offends anyone.

RT_Nomad, I remember reading your Surge Challenge log. Didn’t you have some early success regaining muscle with the Surge workout challenge? If I remember correctly, there was a medical issue that required some time away.

Yes. Got an infection and blood clot and regressed back to 198lbs. Kept taking Surge with little change. Once the doctor took me off Eliquis I got back the results. I couldn’t get any info if Eliquis interfered with Surge benefit. But steady going with Surge to this date. My body weight is up from 198lbs to 204lbs. A little stronger, but nothing phenomenal.
