Total - 655kg/1444lbs - Not bad for an old man

I went 9 for 9 and set provincial records on all lifts and total. Pr'd my squat and deadlift, and tied my best comp bench from 5 years ago.

Great work, Marc! Way to represent the old men crew!!!

Recover well.

Congrats! All your hard work really shows. Those are good weights for any age!

Yesterday:
I'm now trying to fit in some cardio between workouts
60M sprints at 80% effort - short rest in between - Did 10 or so
Once warmed up I surprised myself that I can still run fairly fast, at least for a 60 year old. Nowhere as fast as when I was in highschool track, but can likely outrun most people 35+ if a bear was chasing us!

Today:
Feeling the effects of sprinting yesterday - sore abs, left knee/innershin has minor pain, enough to make me almost limp
2nd workout since comp - Did most exercises at ~50% of 1RM - Just getting back into things

Deadlift
Bar-10,
155-5
265-10 - beltless, dbl overhand grip - ~45% of 1RM

DB incline bench - slight incline - 1st hole
50-10,
75-10,10,

Bent over BB row
155-10,10,

Lat pull down

No offense Skid, but I had to laugh a little at this. I did a 10 x 100 meter sprint interval workout a couple of months ago..."sprinting" for the first time in a long time and suffered the same consequences.

Still...it was a nice diversion and I'm likely to do it again in the not-too-distant future.

LOL, I missed my Friday leg workout too because me knee is still sore, even today. I need to remember not to rush into new exercises. That said, like you I still plan to continue sprinting and other cardio work. I'll just take it much easier until my body hardens up.

My knee and abs were still sore today, but I did squats anyways. The squats actually felt good on the knee.

Squats
Bar-10
155-5
265-5
375-5,5,5, Added my knee sleeves for these. Went really easy considering I only did a light set of squats last week and haven't lifted heavy since my meet 16 days ago.

Calf raises - Did one set of 20 with 155

Pause Bench
Bar-15
155-5
265-2
308-3,3,3,

I haven't looked at the forums in a bit so I'm late to the party but these are very impressive results! Nice Work!
