Trap bar DL 135/5 155/5 185/3 205/2 225/3
Last time I tried to DL 135 was all I had.
I guess I have to do what I can when I can.

My grandson bought a dip machine from Titan Fitness, I did some sets. I do feel some soreness in the upper chest today

Safety Bar box sqt, 14" box
Bar/8 75/5 95/3 115/2 140/3
Pulldown chin up grip
125/8 8 8
I think I'll keep the weight I used on the last set of DL and today's Sqts the same until I can get 5. One work set may enough for this old guy.

I thought I'd get 3 but was hoping for 5 . I barely got it off the ground. Waited and tried 2 more times.
I didn't do anything that should have affected my lift, sleep good and did eat a few hours before.
After this fiasco I did a few sets of belt sqts and am calling it a day. WTF!

[Fred J]

WTF is what happens sometimes. I have those too at times.

Cheesepuff does it right when that happens and just puts down a goose egg then drops a little weight and then kicks its ass and moves on.

Showing up and lifting is still something that many of our age cannot or will not do. Don't stop

[BrooklynJerry]

Thanks Fred. I'll take your advice. I may lower all my weights and do higher reps. In the past that's how I trained and made progress.

Jerry what kind of rig do you use for belt squats?

[BrooklynJerry]

Hi Fred, sent you something on Instagram. If you look on YouTube you can find videos on DIY belt sqts.
