I Can probably stand some undulating intensity anyway.

Mother hit squat 3x5 30kg, press 25kg 1x5, deadlift 5x70kg

The deadlift is huge. She did the same almost ten years ago as a 63 year old with a belt. Now at 72 with a broken back, she’s doing the same beltless, only a few months after not being able to put shoes on, let alone walking for more than a few hundred metres and having to retire due to pain.

On a sidenote, my father negotiated her price on a life insurance down, due to her lifting numbers…
