While lifting as we get older and avoiding injury is not a popular topic amongst some folks on this site, people are beginning to think about it. Here is some information I received by e-mail. Likewise Testosterone Nation's site had some discussion in the, and this may be inaccurate, Things I believe but can't prove", a few of which related to limits and lifting.

Additionally as a personal trainer I also work with a number of "weekend warriors." Often they are depicted as injury-prone because their bodies fail as they attempt to relive athletic feats accomplished a decade or more earlier. With the assistance of the principles of corrective exercise as Eric and Mike outline, I can honestly say that I have many clients who seem to have turned back the clock and have broken free from the stereotype - performing like men half their age and being just as healthy! This DVD set shows you how to minimize the adverse effects of repetitive motion and helps you understand the corrective power of maximal strength. As I tell my clients, who wants to be average? Avoid becoming a stereotype yourself!
