Thank you Shug and Mark. I sure am sorry I stopped lifting for some years, but some sad situations got in the way. Now I feel if I miss a scheduled day I am a pussy, and don't want that.

I thought I would get 4 on the work set,but didn't want to push it. I did get two more reps on the back off set, so at least I did a little more work than last week .

What do you think about the way these feel in your hands?
My old box-gym had DB handles that were about and inch & a quarter in diameter; I found them much more comfortable and easier to use then the smaller ~28mm handles.

[BrooklynJerry]

I'm using 2 1/2" diameter handles, these were steel sleeves I got from Ironmind years ago. The thick handles make it slightly harder to get into position on the bench,and take a little effort to control while pressing. I use a parallel grip doing DB press and benches.

SB Sqts. Bar/10 95/6 135/5 165/4
195/3 180/5 with belt.
BB row 115/5 5 5
After the rows I loaded the SB to 230 and did 3 sets of three walkouts and squated down to pins 6 inches below. Just trying to get myself accosted to holdin more weight on my back. I think next time I squat I am going to try doing some sets starting from the lower pins
I know these numbers at low, but taking years away from training and getting to be an OMF have taken its toll on me.

Hey Jerry, every day on the blue side of the dirt is a bonus, and most our age are lucky to walk a mall let alone put a bar on their back. It's all good numbers.
