Hi, my name is Gretchen Sanders, and I write for SWIMMER Magazine. I am working on an article about muscle loss in aging athletes for my next assignment, and I need some help finding sources. I would like to interview a few masters swimmers, male or female, who have noticed a decrease in their physical strength and are thus doing weight lifting/strength training exercises to supplement their swim workouts. Ideally you will be close to age 50 or older. I can interview you by phone at your convenience between now and August 10. I promise it won't take long! Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it. Email me at rex757@yahoo.com

I've recently made a commitment to gaining some of that strength back. I had been thinking of chronicling my way back to doing pull-ups again with my Facebook friends but I've been slightly embarrassed to admit I can't even do one anymore.
Actually pullups are quite tough. Every time I take a break from doing pullups, I can't even do a single one either when I start doing them again. I usually start with negative pullups but within a short time I can dramatically increase the amount. I often use the Armstrong pullup program to get started.
