The generalizations are what has led to this mess in the first place, so unless you have found good evidence about weightlifting and TC, I wouldn't worry about what "experts" have to say about it. I tell people to remove all known stressors, eat truly essential items, an give it a few months. In other words, try to "normalize" your body. And at that point, if you TC is 220, that is fine. If it's well over TC at that point, then there is likely a stressor that has not been detected and removed, though older people might "naturally" have TCs in the mid to upper 200s. |
