Wow! Your contribution to encourage people on Free Republic to exercise? (That would be 85% of FreeRepublic.)
No judgement free zone here!
Do not let people push you to the point of injuring yourself.
I just read this last week. Looks interesting. An alternative way of increasing muscle mass. (At this point I am probably “Elderly”)
snip...
“There are loads of ways to increase your muscle mass but they mostly involve moving, pushing or pulling heavy weights or resistance bands. The problem with this strategy is that if you are not in good shape, and especially if you are elderly, there is a very high likelihood that you will get injured. In most cases, it is not if you will get injured but when.
The answer to this problem is an exercise strategy known as blood flow restriction training or BFR. As the name implies, BFR involves modifying the arterial inflow and venous outflow while you’re working the muscle by placing an inflatable band around the extremity.24
I have done many things in the last 10 years to help build muscle mass, but I believe combining TRE with mTOR activation and BFR is largely responsible for producing the changes you see in my videos above.”

Vindicated. Someday I’ll share what a mere 15 minutes a day can do.
You do six of those 12oz curls per day, do you?
