FRED's Attempt at NLP

[Fred J]

Thanks Carson!!

I will give it a read. I wanted to see a log of someone close to my size and age when it started which you were.


You have a good evening!!

You have a good evening as well.

Not much time for this due to home remodeling.

I cannot do the overhead press at all. Very bad and painful joint problems that make the squatting pain in the shoulder look tame. It's a problem I have had since I was much younger and just avoided anything that would cause the pain. Now that I'm older it's a no go. Squats I am trying to do but very slowly with the shoulder stretching. So I will be using a modified plan such as;


Example 21-1: 3-In-2 Program, No Presses

Sullivan, Jonathon M; Baker, Andy. The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 (p. 375). The Aasgaard Company. Kindle Edition.

But done twice a week or whenever I have time for now. Is this still considered a Starting Strength plan or something else?

I'm not sure I know. Since it was published by Aasgaard I would think that's it at least approved by them. Frankly I have studied the basic book for a few years and Dr. Sullivan/Baker's book for several months.
I follow what Sully advises for older lifters of twice a week. I know some who make one lift each day over four days. But the basic program is three days per week. I don't remember what Rip wrote for older lifters.
I'll dig out my copies.

Mark and Andy have similar programs in Practical Programming in the back section of the book which would make sense Andy having been involved with both.

Example 3: severe arthritis in shoulders

Deadlifts 1x5
Bench Press 3x5
DB Front Squat 3x5 or Leg Press 3x10 Lat PD 3x10. ***

Rippetoe, Mark; Baker, Andy. Practical Programming for Strength Training (p. 398). The Aasgaard Company. Kindle Edition.

About the same program twice a week.

*** I will try to do this but with squats and rows.

I felt like this log would fit better in general..Fred's modified SS Geezer log
