Old Competitor, new to SS...

It makes sense for someone with your training history to do so. I hope you are able to drop in occasionally to give some feedback.

I asked to have this thread removed so it doesn't clutter up the forum.
Once it is deleted, I'll start another in the regular journals section.
I'll link a few old videos from YT as well so you see where I am coming from.
Thanks TartanEagle!

alrighty, since it's still here, let's go...
Going to try and follow a program for a bit and see what happens again.
For my own reference: Texas Method, page 235 of The Barbell Prescription
Personal tweaks:
moving deads to the Intensity day since it's only 1 work set of 5 and makes more sense to me there.
doing 5x5 neutral grip chins on Volume day
doing 8 sets of 3 neutral grip chins on recovery day

Today 200.6

squats - 250 for 5 sets of 5 reps
bench - 240 for 5 sets of 5 reps (pinky on the ring)
chins - me for 5 x 5
After training 75g dextrose, 50g whey, 12g creatine

Monday should be the Recovery day and Wednesday should be the Intensity day.
Hopefully I started light enough and everything feels ok.
Let's see how it goes.

14 years ago yesterday.
I posted this up on my FB page.
I know my program jumps and skips like a worn out record, but I do know some things.
Just having trouble with this age thing sometimes.
