Speaking of old, I just had chest pains during my last set that I had to take a breather before finishing it.

I went to the GP a few times this summer because of chest pains and breathing issues, but was cleared. Put it down to heat, nasty hayfever and having the fan on at night.
In terms of being old? I'm 38, and I'm balding quite badly on the crown of my head. It's tragic, and it's mentally affecting. I'm also tiring more now at work.
I was strong at 37, even after the bloodclot, as I was maxing certain machines at the gym. I hurt myself on one of the machines last year, had sciatica for months, and that has really taken it's toll. Side effects from the bloodclot have been getting worse as well. Swelling discolouring the skin. I thought the worst of the swelling whilst the over after a year, but alas...
Running time is a bit worse, but I think it's more of a mental thing, as I no longer wish to really push myself on it for heart reasons. Still strong, but I don't train what I used to train half as much. Back feels sensitive, legs feel weak at times.
Just have to keep mobile and keep going to the gym.
