Ray Wilson, 70 years old
- Bench press reps 200#
- Has done consistent weight training and cardio exercise for 50 years
- One of the hikers who completed the first Cactus to Clouds Challenge and has done this hike multiple times
- Avid hiker who has hiked many miles in the Sierras, Rockies and Cascades
- When not hiking, Ray walks an hour or more every day
- Lifts weights 3-4 times per week
- I also use heavy days alternating with light days, push vs. pull, 3 months intensive work alternating with 3 months maintenance, pre-exhaustion sometimes using large muscle groups to push smaller muscles beyond last rep.
- "My wellness philosophy centers around persistent exercise and a balanced diet. Find activity that is enjoyable so you will do it for life. Fitness is a personal journey; however if I can inspire a few more people to be more healthy, that is good."

"Pumping up for summer. Using push/pull routine. Extensors day 1, flexors day 2. Then 2 days cardio. Plenty of protein, fruits and veggies. Low starch. Gains are harder when almost 69!"
