Aging office rat struggles to do the program (47y, 6ft1, ~210lbs)
In this corner of the world, lockdowns and quarantines have eased up - for a while at least. Gym re-opened 3 weeks ago and due to very little exercise history of any kind during past half a year, I decided to start from the very basics and save all the hipster stuff for later.
I tried to pick low enough weights to start with, respect the rest between the sets, eat enough and sleep somewhat ok. Still the level of muscle soreness (mainly quads, hamstrings, glutes) has been overwhelming and so far not a frigging chance to train more than barely twice a week.

0404 bench 110
0406 squat 130, press 95, dl 155
0411 bench 130, dl 190
0417 squat 145, press 100, dl 210
0418 bench 145
0422 squat 155, press 105, dl 220
So the start has been more sluggish than ever, a healthy reminder that I'm not in my 20's anymore and expectations should be scaled down correspondingly?
