| Give me some tips, please, on reducing my body fat and building mass with out tearing tendons and screwing myself up, which I seem to be doing. I have been very fit at times in my life, but I intend to buff myself out now that I've reached this age and have gotten serious. My wife and I live clean. I don't want to pump myself full of strange things that I suspect some of the Cro-magnons at Golds are. I'm 52 and have a personal trainer and he's a pretty good chap. I work out fairly hard 3 times a week. I'm no baby (I went through South African Parachute School at the age of 30, and survived Support Commando in Africa-I've walked the whole damned continent-I DO NOT quit!)

| I'm surprised your trainer still leaves you wondering if there is some other method to build strength. Most folks who have and can afford a trainer, will get all they need for ideas. But here are a couple from a guy who has been at it for 25 years:
Stay with compound joint exercises such as squat, bench press, military press, and deadlifts. Do whatever exercises you choose in a slow form conscious manner. If you don't already, keep a journal of workouts and foods you eat. Many folks are surprised about the relationship between the two. Review your journal once a month to see if there are any relationships. Adjust accordingly. Lastly, change things up every now and then. Enjoy! I'm only a couple years behind you so I hope this keeps working.
