Very cool. I’ve been on a 4-day Texas Method template for a while now. Looking strong for 5 months. Keep doing what you’re doing.

I'm doing Old Man Texas from the Barbell Logic podcast #17 I think. It's a Starting Strength podcast by 2 coaches. I just could not keep up with higher volume workouts that a 20-something could. I tried but ended up really beat down. Now weights are back to moving up on a good 3-day version of the Texas Method for us 40+ folks.

I attempted the full blown Texas Method as well and ended up getting buried after 6 months of grinding through it. I skipped out on running HLM (Heavy, Light, Medium) because I wasn't aware of it at the time and went straight into the 4-Day Upper/Lower split version of Texas Method. I'm of fan of that podcast, I just got caught up yesterday. I need to go back and listen to it so I can recall how the structure the Old Man Texas.

I have finally gotten back to the gym this past week. 4x total just been a little basic with some light jogging for a warm up x15 min then some body weight strengthening (lunges, squats, planks, Russian twists) and hip flexor movements because I have been battling hip & back pain for a few years and figured it's time to focus on that.
Gonna look into some yoga classes as well.

Volume Day w/ Press

Squat
Warmups and 4x5 @ 285
*First time with new shoes. Do-Win with a .75 heal. Really helped me hit depth and didn't affect perceived weight.

Press
Warmups and 4x5 @95
*Left shoulder starting to feel better on press. Building back up after injury does suck.

Deadlifts
Warmups and 2x5@365
*Stap for second set again. Grip is good for about 2-3 reps then starts to fail. I am not very concerned as I don't plan on competing anytime soon.

Overall
Felt pretty good today and I resisted urge to do a couple of singles on Deadlifts. I love the lift and love doing singles but need to just follow the *kitten* program.

I don't know if someone has posted this before in the last 16 pages.. but.. whenever i see this thread pop up on the message boards page i keep reading it as "Daily Exercise Chicken" .. Which of course would be delicious but clearly not the goal of this page lol

I have been sedentary (and I really mean sedentary!) for several years--no cartilage in either knee, chronic back pain which I used medical marijuana for, I pretty much got out of my recliner to go to the bathroom, the kitchen for food, and walked to the car so I could be driven to doctor appointments. Finally after a really bad toxic reaction to blood pressure medication lisinipril, which I thought was going to kill me, I took the advice of my primary care physician and went for the gastric sleeve bariatric surgery. Ten months later, I am 106 pounds lighter and doing things I simply could not do last year. I started with seated arm exercises, using two pound weights. I now do 7 sets of 6 different arm exercises, 25 reps each, now with three pound weights. I did the math one day and discovered I was doing 1,050 reps! And it takes me just a little over 30 minutes. I am also taking a water aerobics class called "healthy Joints for seniors", 55 minutes, two times a week. I plan on doing that plus some leg exercises so that I can work up to not having to use my walker everywhere I go and be able to stand for extended time periods.
I love reading about everyone else's workout routines,--don't know what a lot of the terms mean, but I am figuring it out the more I read. So, thanks for the inspiration - it is really helping me get motivated. BTW, at my highest weight in January of this year, when I was in the middle of that medication craziness--I gained 20 pounds in two weeks and was at 375! One very sick 63 year old woman! Today--the scale said 269!

Last night was an hour of Vinyasa yoga and a half hour walk with the dogs.
