    Nice work, but I worry that, for a geezer, you're pushing the volume aspect too hard, possibly at the expense of intensity?

    I guess it doesn't really matter. That guys our age can lift anything heavier than a six pack is a victory in some ways.

    Monday 5/11/ 15. No workout today. Woke up Sunday morning with a stiff lower back. If felt fine after squatting Thursday and was fine while and after benching Friday. I did nothing to agravate my back on Saturday,gues it was just culmative stress. I thought if I rested Sunday I would be able the DL today, but not happening. Icing it, using emu cream and Motrin today. Will bench and do some pulldowns if possible tommorrow.
