Notes: Pretty good workout. My 74 year old training pal is going to see a surgeon, he screwed up his shoulder working on his ranch. He doesn't know whether the surgeon will operate on him or not, due to his age. I told him, for an active person like him, having the surgery would mean staying active, which would have a positive effect on his health going forward. Stopping working out OTOH, would have a (potentially profound) negative impact. I just hope for his sake the surgeon sees it that way.
 
I really like your rest day workouts, I might have to start incorporating something similar into my programming. Did he tear a RC muscle or worse?
 
I firmly believe we are like sharks - stop moving and you die! At 74 and as active as you say he is, the doc should agree to repair the issue. Nice rest day!

Thanks kenpo. My friend's situation is pretty interesting to me. I think in a lot of ways he's ahead of the curve. Just going by what I've seen on this forum, I think there's a lot of guys around 50 who are still really active, seems kind of common for our generation, and in a few years when we're all mid 70's I'm sure there'll be a lot of us visiting the surgeon with athletic injuries. Not so common for his generation though. So it's interesting to see what's going to happen, whether the surgeon will treat him like an injured athlete or go all ageist and treat him like an "old man".
 
It's amazing how some doctors will tell you that "it's normal for your age". I understand that as we get older that simply going under anesthesia is dangerous so surgery is not recommended but the doc should evaluate quality of life and weigh that against the surgery risk.

I actually think they'll probably go ahead with it. He told me he's scheduled to meet the surgeon, and I told him that's good, at least the didn't turn him away at the door. Surgeons are busy people, I don't think they'd bother to meet with someone just to tell them they can't help.

Thanks kenpo. Yeah I noticed with the dumbbells, if they bump into the legs it really messes up your flow. With lighter ones you can hold them out from your body a bit, but with heavier ones that's not so easy. It's kind of tricky actually. I'd like to do farmer's with proper implements but there aren't any at my gym. Might have to go your route and buy my own gear. :(
