50 year old man
216 lbs.
6'2".
I have lifted weights for over 35 years. Starting in my parents basement with plastic/cement weights. I never really squatted properly. Did lots of dead lifts and leg press but never understood proper squat form until a few years ago. 3 1/2 years ago I met my wife who introduced me to crossfit. And that led me to starting strength. I tore my acl just under 2 years ago, hopping out of the bed of a truck. In February I started LP again. I got to 275 for my squat and learned that I was several inches high. After conferring with a SS coach I reset to 225 and started again. At 270 I pulled my adductor, 2 weeks ago. I have been doing the Bill star protocol rehab for it and i am back to 155 x15 as of last night. I will miss tonight's training since I am out of town. But I'll be back on it as soon as I get back home. In anoth r week I should be up over 200 and back to the LP. My schedule allows me to train 3 days a week and 2 days a week, alternating. In weekends I am a few hours away from home working on our farm. My squat form is an abomination which has me holding the plates due to a shoulder surgery. I have been working on this and have managed to get the heel of my hands on the sleeve but that pushes the bar up higher, almost to a high bar squat. I will continue working on the form and continue working toward my goal of squatting 1.5 times my body weight.
