    two new guys

    my partner and I have accepted two new partners for a 4 man rotation - they are 22 and 24 respectively - they asked out loud today how we can train so hard being twice their age - we just shrugged and added more weight

      It's hard for the young guys to keep up with the hardcore.

          BigSickD does not actually exist. He is the alter ego of a punkass 17yo kid that doesn't even workout.

                  I do know what you mean. I remember when I was a youngster and more mature guys (LOL) took me under there wing and showed me the ropes. I try to do that with guys know that show they want to learn.

                      I had a guy that took me under his wing and showed me a lot. Granted i did do my own research, but i learned a lot from him. We actually became good friends and talk on a weekly basis. Almost like a father figure to me.

                          I remember a 40-something black guy who trained at the YMCA where I first started lifting back in 1978.
                          His name was Dave Johns, he may have been a York Barbell lifter but he didn't make anything of it.
                          He taught me how to do military presses after I asked him one day for a spot on the bench.
                          Great guy, free with advice on lifting but not too talkative.
                          He was an inspiration.
                          On the other hand, I guess my youthful enthusiasm was a blessing to him, as he said one day, "You show a lot of potential and you're not afraid to work, those two things are needed in this game to get the most out of it."

                          Question I have is: can these guys lift the same weights?
                          I imagine the time it takes to switch plates is time lost, unless you are going strictly for strength. Are you?

                              switching plates is nothing - but these guys are close enough it aint so bad
