Yes and at 74 he is out lifting me on all but the Bench.

Thank you gentlemen. I love lifting days. I hope you guys will always love them as well. My 94 year old friend and fellow lifter inspires me. Let us all inspire each other.

Just under 2 weeks ago a storm caused electricity to go out for 5 days. Then last Saturday we experienced the effects of 4 tornadoes in our area. It ripped out trees and crushed a couple of condos in our subdivision. We only lost a few plants and flowers. But again, no electricity for 4 days. If things like this didn't happen what stories would we tell our grandchildren? Still we lifted.

Squat: 70 x 5 (paused); 120 x 3; 170 x 1; 185 x 5 x 2; 175 x 5.
Press: 45 x 5; 65 x 3; 85 x 1; 90 x 5; 80 x 5 x 2
Dead: 135 x 3; 225 x 2; 315 x 1; 325 x 1; 290 x 5 x 0 325 went up fairly easily then 290 would not move from the floor. Next time I will rest 6 minutes between heaviest and back-off. I was gassed. The gym was a bit warmer than usual as well. Waiting for new AC.

New AC to be installed next Tuesday.

Good to have AC and great to be able to lift! I need to get my deadlift where yours is on your light day.

[carson]

Keep at it brother. You are likely to live longer than me so you will no doubt surpass my efforts.
You know, I don't really understand why I do as well as I do in deadlift. I certainly enjoy doing them and hope someday to lift 4 plates on each end.

[carson]

I've done 290 x 5 two times in a row on the Deadlift. That's not a PR. I did 320 x 5 three years ago. I'm not back yet but I'm on the way.

Great work! My garage is not heated but it still feels like cheating. Big fans work.
