SevenofSeven Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 So I told Son3 and Son4 that I would try soccer this season. I have always sat on the sidelines to watch them and support them. My fear is if I mess up my knee I will have to have time off lifting. Should I just go for it? Let the Fates decide?With so much going on I'm not sure if I have again over extended myself. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

Let the Fates decide?With so much going on I'm not sure if I have again over extended myself.How old are the kids and what do you mean "try" soccer? If you mean play on a team, then I'd talk to other players and discuss your existing knee issue. I coached park district soccer for 6 years while my kids were into that. Not that I know anything about soccer, but I had a beating heart and that's all that was needed. I'm not much of a leave things to chance type. Better be happy with the downside if you do.

SevenofSeven Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 The women's team for Blackwood United. I would not be the oldest one playing and they have an opening for goalie. My son reckons the way the women kick in this league ( last league on the ladder ) I could out run the ball anyway! The Lads are 19 and 17 respectively, they have been playing since they were 7. I was hoping to get the youngest two into it as well, just to get them moving this year. A family that soccer's together stays together! 2 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Has anyone had the bizarre feeling that you sweat more with muscle gain? Now that I am seeing more definition and the wobbly bits are less wobbly, I sweat more than previously. Is this a thing? 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

peelout Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I'm not sure what your goals are. Gain muscle size? Lose fat? Gain strength (I look at gaining strength slightly different than size)? I could go back to the beginning post but your goals may have changed since then.

SevenofSeven Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Strength, is the main goal, but along the way fat loss would be desirable, but not at the expense of strength. Plus I like to eat! I take measurements for the imbalances that present themselves, for example legs, quads, left leg dominant, so I need to do something about that. 2 Quote Wait! What............?
