Started training about a month ago. Did a form evaluation with Andy Baker here in Texas this past weekend to get things right. I’m 54 years old about 200 5’8”. Working sets DL 245, Bench 120, Squat 160, Press 80. Looking forward to getting stronger with the program.

Jay I hope your stats are in pounds and not kilos . If they are kilos I have been kidding myself. Either way not too shabby after a month.
I'm in to my second 12 months and despite some set backs and slow progress feeling stronger. Also love the youngsters on foam rollers and mini kettle bells at the gym I use. The naivety of youth. Keep on pulling!
