I'm a Firefighter in Canada , won a Gold Medal at the World Police Fire Games in Vancouver in August.
It was in the Push/Pull event, BP and Deadlift, GrandMaster A div. which means I'm in my early 50s man where did the time,but I digress. Anyway did some reading of the site, liked what I saw decided to join today. I have been training steady since last Jan. Used to train alot got off track 3 yrs went by and man it was hard to start all over with weight I had never lifted before , I mean little weights not big ones. Took months to get back to my first warmup levels. So the best advice I can give, is don't take 3 yrs off at 50 ha ha. I am here cuz I want to set a world record in New York in 2011 , that would be a games record in the Deadlift I have been doing alot of cardio to get down to the next lower weight class. I think the record for my age and weight is around 225 kilos. I have 2 yrs to get ready , I have done 200 in the last meet, so I think it's achievable. Time will tell. Gary
