Oh, you guys and CL. I’ll admit the 30 something guy in other squat rack looked a bit surprised. Though I don’t look/workout like my age, anybody over 50 is probably old to that 5 am crowd.
4/4/17 chest
warmup, then bench 1 x 6 @ 135, 1 x 5 @ 185, 1 x 3 @ 225, 1 x 5 @ 205
bench machine 3 x 6 @ 215, 230, 240
machine pullovers 3 x 6 @ 190, 210, 230 (gym’s dumbbells stop at l00, only reason I miss old gym besides the guys there.)
Today was national dumbbell chest day so I couldn’t do any finishing with bells, and barely got a bench for barbell work.
I now realize I needed to have eaten more yesterday.
OG, NHLFTR and Crippler’s comments will make me reassess attitude a bit. I need to forget yesteryear totals. My urologist told me I’m old now, unlike my rheumatologist’s and wife’s opinions.
4/13/17 back
warmup (3 x 30 kettlebell swings w/35lb) Good, mindless 5 am wakeup that efficiently jumpstarts flexibility.
deadlift 2 x 6 @ 135, 225, 1 x 5 @ 295 (Finally. Fleeting thought of 1x 315 stopped additional reps, afterwards decided to wait a week.)
Workout felt good. Formerly used 120 lb dumbbells for rows; rowing now with heavier weights just might help deadlifts. I really like that chest supported rowing machine with independent arm movement. Gym dumbbells stop at l00 so I don’t use those for rows.
