And glute/IT band issues.

I use to lift heavier weights and workout 3 -4 days a week.  I followed a program at home with weights.  Before that I strength trained at a gym.  Been weight lifting since I was 18.  I am 61 now.  But I have been on and off due to neck/back issues.  So I am trying to get back into it after being off for about 6 months.  I like the concept you espouse (not having to do progressive overload to get results, slow and steady, etc) but I still like using weights.
