Returning to the weight room this week after a 6-week surgical layoff was a trip back in time to a year ago when I began lifting on a regular basis. Gone was the 190 pound 1-rep bench press max, and the 145-pound 8-rep max was replaced by 130 pounds.
Climbing a hill already conquered isn't nearly as exciting as reaching new heights, nor is it an excuse to give up. Regular exercise is as important as regular tooth brushing. It's not about breaking records so much as maintaining health and strength - outer strength in terms of muscles, but just as much inner strength of discipline.
