i am 56 years old, active in body building. is it ok to lift heavy esp. in bench press.?

Question

what is best, to lift with in my weight limit or above?

Answer 1

of course you can since you have been doing it. However, you should know your limit, nobody can advise you what and how much is it.

Answer 2

If you've been in the gym and our in good condition I can't see any reason why not. I'm 57 and spend a good deal of time doing exactly what your talking about, listen to your body, it will tell you when enough is enough. Stay at it!!!
