I used the term weightlifting as opposed to powerlifting, because it connotes a wider area of involvement in resistance exercise. While I personally lack interest in or use gym machines, I well realize others have embraced that method of training. Aside from a power rack I built in 1980, using plans purchased from Peary and Mabel Raders "Ironman," I've stuck with 2 benches and squat racks during my 1/3+ century of lifting. My duel motivations are health and the ability to attract women who are also physically fit.

The reason I began this thread was for an intelligent exchange of information, as it applies to we who are in the twilight yrs. of our lives, but who have zero interest in "getting old." Is it that you're in a sharing mood? Please do!
