I was just thinking I need to start hand stand push ups again.
You are not alone.
Looking strong as ever sir. And if you’re obese at 252 don’t know what your doc would call me at 280.(SUPER OBESE!)
No, just muscle bound.

Workload prevented this week’s gym time; better reading instead of “I’m lazy”.
Learned my yearly blood tests were normal, great cholesterol, just usual thyroid condition. So much for non morbid obese… may start 5 minutes of stair climber to end workouts.
70th birthday in next few weeks; may change moniker.
I doubt the lazy and obese things. 70 is just a number. My father is just a few years older than you, and can’t get out of his chair. Keep up the outstanding work.
Handstand pushups do that for a body. And 900 lb leg presses too.

First leg workout in 3 weeks.
First leg workout in a while and you address it with a bunch of work.
Unfortunately, nowhere near as great poundages as you just posted.
Nice leg work. Since it’s been 3 weeks since your last leg work out I keep hearing the old song, “there’s got to be a morning after” going through my head.

Keto diet (under 20 grams carbs) and week’s 4th workout feel mutually exclusive. Got to up the carbs to around 100. This eating is really easy, just a dramatic carb reduction. Lots of meat, cheese, even unlimited bacon.

Rows–especially barbell ones–and good mornings certainly help deadlifting. I need more good mornings.
