Balancing pool with fitness

If you just started, your body will be very sore for a few days after a workout. Over time, you don't get as sore from workouts.
I remember when I started 20 yrs ago, I couldn't sit on the toilet after leg days, or shift into reverse on my stick shift car after chest days. Pool was tough only after leg days, because I'd be "shaky" in my stance.
After doing that for a while though, it became no problem.
Each person is different, and their recover time is different. And as stated above, even within each person, their own recover time will vary over the years for many factors. Make sure to fuel your workouts with lots of meat and also to sleep well to repair your muscles.
Actually no. I really believe resistance training is good for any age. Resistance training when done correctly improves concentration, balance, strength, and burns calories throughout the day even when at rest. I will be 64 in a couple of months and have been using resistance training, among other things, in my routine workouts at least three days a week for the last 4 years. I can eat whatever I want and as much as I want and my body weight stays between 159 lbs to 162 lbs. Resistance training speeds up your metabolism incredibly.
Sleep, protein, fruits, vegetables, and low carbs. Even fats are ok.
Lol, that's a good point. He could wake up in the evening, fresh and he does play for long periods of time but he answered that, as long as he can see the money, he doesn't get tired. So you suggesting that he sleeps during the day? I'll ask him to see.

actually since i was so far out of shape i am only doing cardio and mat work for flexibility right now. havent really added any resistance work yet. the extra stamina is helping with focus. have lost 14 pounds so far but still have another 15 or so to go. thanks for the replies guys

Good man. Nice gains. Please please please add resistance, free weights are best,even if it is light, After 2 weeks you will not believe how much your metabolism speeds up. Only two things in life are real magic: exercise and compound interest.
thank you sir. had planned on adding some light resistance/high reps at some point soon.
Most of the guys I've come across who were shooting lights out looked like they'd been living in a cave, or a bar, for the last 3 months.
At the high end, being in shape and healthy are benefits... but most the health types never put the time in that the truly obsessed players do.

I would love to shoot lights out. Guess I'll have to stop going to the gym if I want to do that. Sorry. Don't follow your logic.
Hell I'm just hoping to shoot with the lights on! :thud::thud::sorry:
It's just an observation. For some, to afford the time and expense of playing a lot, they need to spend a lot of time in bar, clubs, out of the sun on their practice tables. Often that leads to a fair bit of drinking and/or drugging. Not in all cases, but it's pretty common.

You should be able to work out in the morning without it affecting your play in the afternoon.
In order to work out, go to work, and play league, various games , and practice it takes time. I'm fortunate that my kids are grown and on their own and my wife has no problem with me being out of the house. I am at the gym at 5am 3 or 4 days a week to get it all in and in bed by 8pm on the nights before gym days. It's pretty structured but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Has anyone gone from not working out to working out and seed an improvment in their pool game.
No, never. I also never heard of it happening to anyone. Working out will never add a ball speed to your game.
However, if you are playing 20 hour sessions, it may make your drop off due to stamina and being tired not as bad. But 1000% it won't help you pocket any balls.
My game improved.
BeiberLvr: Maybe it was because you stopped using cte?
