Thanks Rip, I'll always be there for my dad. And will push him into moderate training.
What's weird is he's supposedly had ALS for 4 years, but can still walk (definitely leg muscle wastage tho) but no change to voice or speech. Voice is still pretty robust.
He got J&J and Moderna jabs 4 years ago. I'm not saying it's that, but a physician (esp. in Boston) won't even consider that possibility. A second opinion wouldn't hurt IMO, but I'm not trying to give myself hopium.
Sorry to belabor this Rip, doctor confirmed a very slow progressing ALS: "if this you were to get Lou Gehrig's, this is the one you'd want" - she said.
Anyway, I picked him up a home gym used off of Craigslist. He's open and willing to being trained, feels like he got another life. We're going to work within moderation and see what happens. Wondering what rep ranges and lifts would suffice (this has leg press).
Thanks again for help w/ this.

Get him as close to doing the program as you can.
