My Body Was Screaming. Did I Listen?
This spring and summer, I challenged myself to reintegrate powerlifting-style movements into my training.

I'm 52 years old. I'm pitching. I'm running around a field. I'm playing tennis again. I'm working out again. And most of the time, I'm doing it without thinking twice about whether my body is going to cooperate with me.
