Bigger Stronger Leaner Over 35 Lifter

Too many injuries derailed my lifting for too long!
Finally, started a decent run of lifting at home when covid derailed it.
Riding bicycles has been main physical activity.
No goals yet other then keep lifting!

Started 3 x 10.
Taking a break and doing 3x5. weights are pathetic, but maybe in a year or 3.

Everything is db. weight is weight of each db. Love my power blocks!

Thanks guys.
I figure it doesn’t matter where I am, just the direction I’m headed.

Working on goals.
So far Lifting 2x week and riding 3-5.

Health challenge just got a bit more serious. Was going to up mileage target from 60 to 100/week but that’s not in the cards for awhile.

Everyday you can train is a blessing and a privilege.

If you have problems staying on track this might help. When I diet hard I draw a calendar on my bathroom mirror for each month using a wet erase marker.

Then everyday I complete successfully, workouts/diet, I put a big checkmark in that day on the mirror.

This calendar is in my face at least twice a day. A tangible/visual feedback loop to remind yourself how good, or not good, you are doing…

Keep hammering…one day at a time

Interesting… Was looking around the house for old school calendar.

I might be able to adapt this with other data I should keep track of.
