Always gotta be careful exercising. Saw a friend one time snap the tendon between his elbow and shoulder while he was trying to incline benchpress 350lbs
Definitely not outdated man. The biggest thing you could do is to modify the actual exercises you do each day. Let's say you are on Chest and you usually use a barbell. Switch it up to dumbells for a few weeks. Then maybe switch it to bodyweight for a week, then back to barbell for a few weeks...
I've noticed from personal experience that anytime I start lift weights again if I immediately jump into train till failure I get waaaaaay to sore. Better to wait a few weeks with lower intensity first.
