I lift every day and then take 2 days off. I lift in the evening after my reports are done.
Threads only have a starting topic, like any other conversation they can end up anywhere. I'm nearly 47 but will lift heavy until I can't. I average 15-20k steps per day between work and walking the dogs (currently running a 1.8 million square foot warehouse project) so I don't do cardio. Probably not hitting PRs anymore but still stronger than most. I'll throw 315 on the bench press for some low rep sets every now and then just to remind myself I can, but pushing towards 400lbs my shoulder reminds me I'm an old man the next day/days.I lift every day and then take 2 days off.

I am in my 50's so I dont do super heavy weight anymore . I walk alot I mean alot . Miles and miles everyday on my job so I rarely do any running just lifting and calisthenics. All of my lifting is with dumbells of varying weights.
What was this thread about ??
Oh yeah steering improvement.
Yes PSC is the ticket
I typically do Mon/Tues/Fri/Sat in the gym. Other days are rest days. I typically get around 10k a day. Sometimes more or less.I lift every day and then take 2 days off. I lift in the evening after my reports are done.

Shit, my 150lb 30 year old ass only ever maxed at 225for bench and I used to pull 435 for deadlift but screwed my back/hip area up so took a break from it… a long break
any track bar bracket will require me to flip the drag link as it will make the track bar and drag link not parallel to one another as they are now.
I like M-F then off Saturday and Sunday.
Haven't been 150lbs since the 9th grade. The 315lb bench is less impressive at 265lbs. 450lbs is my PR, but my shoulder doesn't appreciate 400+ anymore. At my standard commercial gym I'm usually the strongest guy in there even in the afternoons, at my old powerlifting gym I was probably in the bottom 30%. Granted the massive, competitive dudes were also juiced to the gills, but watching a guy pull 900lbs and then bench 650 is both inspirational and demoralizing at the same time.I typically do Mon/Tues/Fri/Sat in the gym.

I still don't buy it. Lifting the truck changes the angle of the drag link and track bar equally as 1 end is attached to the axle and the other to the frame. If they were parallel stock they are parallel after 10" of lift (obviously both at a terrible angle with that extreme). However you move the drag link you should also move the track bar. Looking at these brackets it looks like they move the track bar up AND toward the drivers side effectively keeping it at the same angle and simply allowing you to use the stock bar and center the axles after the lift. I don't think it's doing what you think it is.
The most common cause of bump steer is a track bar and drag link that aren’t properly aligned. Mine are properly aligned currently, if I raise the track bar they will not be any more.
Pick better lines? I don't think there's a scratch on the ones on my wife's JLUR even after the Rubicon, John Bull, and Pritchett Canyon. The 39s probably help with the clearance, but I don't drag the control arms through obstacles either.
Really, even after the rubicon? Sorry I'm in disbelief. How many bypasses? You didn't do the soup bowl, 100% guaranteed. You put your wheels on the high line in many cases on the rubicon, and then drop down off the high line. Rock sliders get used.
Didn't do soup bowl or old sluice in this Jeep, but neither of those are the main trail so I'd say 0 bypasses but not every optional obstacle. We've done deer valley in this Jeep too, no hang ups and didn't need the lockers at all. If I was lifting and then dropping the frame, skids, and cross members 3" I'd get your argument, but the increased clearance everywhere else is still there. Not to mention with the larger tires the control arm drop brackets still have far more ground clearance than they did stock. The ride is much better, especially at speed out in the desert on washboards and such which is why we run drop brackets on both Jeeps. Our property is about 20 miles out a dirt road in the desert and we make that trip 10-12 times a year and do most of our wheeling in the desert so ride is very important to us. I've hit the brackets on the JT a few times but never got hung up on them. Could you possibly get hung up on them? Sure. Is it worth sacrificing high speed bump handling for the rare case I slip off a rock or pick a bad line? Not for me but your use may vary.
