Actually did a few videos tonight, led off with barbell rows, 200# 4x3 superset with legs raises (neither pictured), followed up with dumbbell rows, pull ups, curls, and lateral raises. Few more weeks on a fairly lean bulk should have me in the low 180s.
Great work! You make it all look light!0 -
Back to max on bench and this night was rough. Was supposed to do 5x5x105lb, but just didn't have it. (5x5x100 was smooth, so I'm close)
Workout recap
This is my goofy lifting buddy... Always gives me a laugh!

Nice work Sandy, especially considering everything that happened lately.

Sorry to hear that. Take it easy, rest up, and you will get back stronger!1 -
My 245lbs incline. Completed 5 reps. Not too bad for an old[er] guy, if I say so myself, 😉

I am so thankful that often the times that I don't want to work out, but choose to push through and do it anyways, are often the ones that feel the best!
I'm focusing right now on lower weight and higher reps. I am really trying to avoid the injury that often comes with my higher weight /lower rep attempts.
Got to say I'm pretty happy with this.

This is very inspirational and motivational to me that you’re happier with lower weights, and for those reasons.
I often beat myself up, and have to step back and remind myself why I do this, I’m not a spring chicken, and that I am pleased with the results.
But it’s super validating (?) to hear someone I sincerely admire say and do the same.
Mucho respecto. 😘1 -

What's interesting for me is the idea that I'm actually moving more volume this way. Last month my workouts averaged around 12000 pounds moved in a session. Last night I moved 17k. So I feel like it felt easier even though I moved more.
It's hard for me to go lower weight because my ego wants bigger numbers, but I am so tired of getting injured .
And thank you sooo much for such sweet words! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️2 -

I also have to work with lighter weights. I've had injuries and now that my knee is better, I have a weird pinching in my hip flexor when squatting anything heavy. Just trying to get something done when I can. Since I'm on break, dumbbells at home or bodyweight 🤷🏼♀️1 -
