Hi all, so I’ll be continuing my log here I guess, since the future over at Exodus is … uncertain? I’m a grumpy old geezer, 63 years old, and I have been lifting since 2015 or so. Body weight right now is about 95 kg, down from 125 kg. The plan is to get below 90 kg eventually. So yesterday I did: Squat: 20 kg x 5 x 5 50 x 5 70 x 5 90 x 4 107.5 x 3 120 x 2 125 x 1 130 x 1 135 x 1 140 kg x 1r x 3s 125 kg x 2r x 3s 2 minutes rest. Bench: 20 kg x 5 x 2 40 x 5 55 x 5 65 x 5 75 x 4 80 x 3 85 x 2 90 x 2 95 kg x 1 100 kg x 1 95 kg x 1 85 kg x 2r x 3s 2 minutes rest. Rows: 50 kg x 5 70 kg x 5r x 4s 2 min rest. ---
