60 yr. old male had to quit joggining & playing basketball due to lower back and sciatic problems. I currently swim M,W,F 1 mile in 45 min. I do eliptical T&T 30 min. 4 miles. I still have some pain I believe due to eliptical, may want to swim more and do less eliptical. I lift weights, benches, flies, pushups for 30 min. on T&T and 1 hour 1/2 on Sat. I m wondering if the swimming and lifting are counter-productive to firming up my chest. I'm 5 10, weigh 172, but can't seem to get chest firm. Am I giving my chest time to "heal" after any of these workouts. Thank you for any help.
