Iterative Refinement: Epoch #3
Iterative Refinement: Epoch #3
I tend work through SS and intermediate programming, achieve significant strength/size gains.....and then use "life" as an excuse to quit lifting.
Here I am again after almost year away from lifting.
Rather than beating myself up over this quitter behavior pattern, I'll just call it "Iterative Refinement".
This is my 3rd Epoch. During this iteration, I will mix in more mountain biking....about 1 hour hill climb twice per week.
Age: 58
Weight: 192 (down from 218 lbs)
Height: 6'2"

Normally would rest after yesterday's stump-fest, but "heavy" weights when I am relatively weak is much less stressful than "heavy" weights when I am relatively strong
