FRED's OLD GUY Attempt at NLP
I am 66 and recently retired. 5' 10" 200 pounds. I started trying to do some lifts in April with a lot of trouble trying to squat because of shoulder stiffness. So I started doing bench press and rows to begin with. More attempts with the squat and heavy lumber lifting for a project just about wrecked my shoulders. So I do bench press, row and added deadlift about a month ago.
I workout every third day. One on two off I think it's called.
4-20-2020
BP 110-5
DL 70-5
SQ 70-5
ROW 70-5
My lower body strength is terrible.
Fast forward to 7-20-2020
BP 150-5-5-5
SQ 130-5-5 [the last time I tried SQ]
ROW 140-5
DL 95-5 [started regular DL progression]
After this I dropped to mostly doing BP and DL due to heavy work being done at home and periods of poor sleep. [old folks problems] BUT they were done per NLP.
9-5-2020
BP 177-3-3-3-3
DL 180-5
ROW 120-5-5 started these back today.
The 3x5 on BP ran out and I went to 3's for the past 5 workouts.
Goal... other than to progress on all the lifts is to get squats and presses worked in to the mix.
It seems pretty cool on the forum so here goes.
