I feel at my age that doing just a little to much can hit hard. On Friday even though I lowered the weights I had been using I upped the reps and...

Thanks guys, it definitely takes some finesse dealing with the aches and pains that come with getting older. I got my entry in today, for the meet in...

I sure know about that night time shoulder issue. I can feel fine all day then turn the wrong way in bed and it wakes me up.

I tried a little different BP program this morning, only meant to last about three weeks, but I can already see it's not for me. It might be good for...

Nice, your sure up and lifting early. Have a great Sunday.

Thanks again Shugg. From what I read Dan John is more concerned about keeping healthy and fit which I agree is best for and old guy like me. When my...

Good for you. I hope the training goes well.

I just found a meet to compete in on Dec. 7, in New Hampshire. I'll be able to set Vermont State records there, which are currently 281 SQ, 215 BP...

👍💯

Thanks Shugg, I always read his column on Dave Drapers site. I will check his info.

Thanks Berg, my thoughts are maybe higher reps, more days off between WOs. Maybe doing some different exercises. I'm not about to give up yet.

I just finished a tough workout, my hip and low back have been touchy since that heavy set of squats on Sunday. I was able to get through it and hit...

It sure has been a while since I attended 20 reps.

The progress continues and I'm still feelin' good. Pushed my BP, SQ, and BB curl today, PR'S on a roll. Cold this morning, only high 40's in storage...

Thanks for your reply Shugg. I'm not following SS.I'm just doing what I felt would work I just mentioned Weights and Plates because they are saying...

Thanks Fred. I can honestly say that the lifts were hard. I'm glad I didn't attempt to increase the weights. I've been listening to the Weights and...

I had another great workout today, with none of the usual after effects (fatigue, achy hip or back). Fact is, I've felt pretty great all day, with...

Wow, it's always something. Good to see your healing again.

Nice work. I may give those a try using my camber sqt bar. I've never done them, I can see how it would help work the DL muscles.

Glad to hear you weathered the storm alright Fred. As for the asterisks in my log, also for pr's, though of course these are just recent bests. If I...

I spent most of the past week at my mom's, rearranging her storage unit and moving the last few things (hopefully). Just got back last night and...

I'm finding out that at my age I should just do what I know I can,I'm too old to "grind" the last rep. Better safe then sorry. Leave one in the...
