Wondering from the guys what you moved onto training wise when adding weight isn't an option. I've been doing a fortitude style training for 4 weeks now and all ready getting severe nerve or tendon pain throughout my arms lifting heavy weight for 6 to 10 reps.
Turned 40 this year and everytime I go back to progressive overload training with heavy weights I keep getting this pain. I'd still like to put on a little more size before I maintain but not sure on how I can go about it without such heavy loads. Love the routine but wonder if i can work in the 12 to 15 range.
For example these where some of the lifts I chose. Granted I'm only 5ft 6in 195lbs.
Leg Press 24 plates for 10
Squat machine 12 plates for 10
Stiff leg DB 125s for 12
Leg ext. Whole stack for 24
Smith Incline. 6 plates for 8
Smith shoulder 4 plates and 25s for 8
Db press 125s for 10
Lat pulldown. 10 plates for 6
