Feel your pain. I am a 60 year old lifter. Seems my wife and I can’t go 6 weeks without injuring something! Sh-neck, knee, heel, etc…

Glad to see others still going. Set backs suck. Keep lifting.

A great comeback is in the works.

Short workout today. Left side of left calf was hurting with 140 so reduced to 110. Odd.

Good to hear

leg curl 2 x 10 w/130, 2 x 10/175
deads 1 x 10 w/;135, 2 x 5 w/315, 335
shrug 4 x 10 w/225, 345, 395, 395
langing leg raise 4 x 10
leg press calf machine sets of 10 up to 2 x 10 w/650
reverse wrist curl low 4 x 10 w/50

I told a 40 something guy today finishing leg presses to leave weights on the machine and he replied he’d add more weight if I wanted since he wasn’t as strong as I am. (??) I had already watched his 650 top set. I’ve thought for years that guy’s a beast/powerlifter, who’s wasting great potential w/light weight on most exercises. He doesn’t deadlift over 185. Odd.

He needs a push but not from me.

He just needs to watch how you do things.

I think he has. Odd.

Fooling around waiting for new workout program.
I’ve discovered kneeling cable curls are remarkably easier than regular cable curls.
