The Zen of Weight Lifting

There is a fun program from the book "Huge in a Hurry" where sets are to perfect rep failure. The gist of the program is, for example, pick a weight you can 10 reps of. Now do 40 total reps stopping every set when you no longer do a perfect rep. Take as many sets as needed to get to 40. This was a great program for me early on, as it taught me about the focus on perfect form above all else.

But yeah, working out is life changing. I've been lifting in some form for over 20 years now, and try to exercise every single day.

Are you still trying to up your numbers or has your focus shifted? I'm going to be 50 next year and when I think about my goals it would probably be to get a bit stronger, improve my endurance, and to have a program that will work for a long time in a type of maintenance mode.
