for me, pretty good is close enough. My cardio/diet/routine is pretty good, and I have pretty good results. And at 48, that aint too shabby!
I hear you about being off on the max rep weight, but I find this happens more so when starting out. Even if you do more reps then you were planning to fail within, at least you know to increase on the following workout.
