What do you think would happen if you dedicated the next 5 yr to adding 50lb of bodyweight and increasing your core, compound major lifts by 20+% over your lifetime lifts?...
Even at 50% of that weight being muscle (25lb), if you were to diet down over a year and retain just ⅔ of it (15lb), this would be a huge leap forward. I think such a thing could be possible, but I don't know your history.

That was a wake up call.....thank you.
Ever since my back surgery in Jan 2011 I've felt like I've been training solely for maintaining what I have. I train harder than ever, but the big mass builders (heavy back squats, heavy deads, etc) are just not an option anymore. It's not impossible to work around that issue though.......and you're right.......as usual. FT has reinvigorated my outlook on training.....I feel like I have something to work towards now. I don't feel like I'm just going through the motions.
Maybe I'll start a journal............
