I'll just note that, as an overweight older guy (57, 5'7", 250 lbs), Deadlift was the most difficult for me to adjust to for proper form, and remains...

Wife lifted yesterday Squat 33x5x2, 47x5, 61x3, 74x2, 75x3x4 Still trying not to further strain that abductor muscle Bench 11x5x2, 19.5x5, 28x3,...

Yesterday (7/13/24, Saturday) we both lifted: Wife at the gym did some deadlifts, including a set of 5 at 66 pounds. It was easy for her (she's...

Thanks. I have an ancient (20 year old?) Tanita scale that does body fat with the electrical impedance thing. It was pretty damn close on the day I...

Wife effectively "missed" a workout, but was back at it today. Squat 33x5x2, 46.5x5, 60x3, 73.5x2, 87x3x5. Good bar speed throughout Press...

Didn't lift at all Thursday, and didn't stretch out my shoulders at all. Ugh. That said, today went fairly well. Weight: 251.6/38.3%, trailing 7...

Since nobody else is commenting (and as another "finally committing back to it after a break" person) just wanted to say that you're doing damn good....

Wife's lifts: Squat in the AM: 33x5x2, 46.5x5, 60x3, 73.5x2, 86.5x3x5. Pretty tough worksets. +1 next time. Bench: 11x5x2, 19.5x5, 28x3, 36.5x2,...

Due to scheduling issues at the gym, wife's coaching session will be next Saturday (a week out) rather than this Friday. It's her birthday, as it...

Thank you, Bill. My wife's work schedule gets in the way of 2-3 days/week at an SS gym, but she could do one day/week and then do the other two...

Wife did squat and bench yesterday. She's doing deadlift tonight. Squat: 33x5x2, 46x5, 58.5x3, 71x2, 83.5x3x5 Went up OK but a little grindy near...

Last thing - MY WIFE IS FINALLY LIFTING!!! It's at home, and she should really get at least some good coaching (I am NOT knowledgeable enough to be...

Other stuff... My "goals" are to lose a bunch of my excess fat and get "healthier". I've been very fortunate professionally and personally (cute...

So, figured I should post again... I'm back at it. Have been since last September, but started at the local gym (SS Plano, same distance as SS...
