The older links are broken for some reason, maybe I’ll search them out (maybe not).
E killed my old thread (thanks E) and thanks for all the comments and help throughout the past year. It’s been a rough one for me but everything is on the upswing now with only minor setbacks (emotional and otherwise) in recent months. Here’s looking forward to reaching 50 next October!

nothing but squats
Barx20, 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x5, 175x5, 195x5, 215x5 (that took 10 minutes and got a good burn going)
225x3, 235x3, 245x3, 255x3 (25 minutes total, fatigue took a toll and I had a hard time with the last one)
wanted to do a fast one tonight and found out what minimal rest does to one

on a different note - I took Kimba’s advice and scheduled a therapeutic massage at the Colorado School of Healing Arts. They don’t offer student massage on the week ends but the professional price is only $10 more. I’ll let you know how it goes.

The wood stove is great! It takes the living room from 65 degrees to over 70 in 30 minutes on nothing more than a handful of kindling and two medium pieces of aspen.
12Nov-10
Bike 7 min., sh rehab
Bench barx10, 95x10, 115x5, 135x3, 155x1, 175x1, 195x1,
I was tired, cold, hungry and generally not ready to lift tonight. The only way I talked myself into doing anything was to say “Keep it short and if you hit a good competition style max, call it a night!” so that’s just what I did. The warm-up scheme worked well and 195 felt good. So then I went for a real PR
215x1 +9#s over my meet PR in July
I then setup for 185 to do some reps but body said “HEY waitaminute! We had a deal!” so I quit…
