The young guys at the gym must shit themselves when you start busting out rows with more than they bench. Nice work.
Thanks Steve. Nothing like your rock work though.

Feeling lstronger these days.
Which is better? Old gym or the new one?
I am leaning toward new one. For the weight you lift, new one. For machine and cable work, old one.

After removing 2 45s I remembered planning on 345 rack pulls for reps. Not as awake as I thought. Saw sun come up in that gym for first time. That place makes me feel stronger. The smell of 20,000+ lbs of free weights.
11/30 no gym, but finished helping move law partner into his new house. 400± pound rug pulled a back muscle (2 of us on it).
And he had hired professional movers! Missed my calling.
Although moving sucks, it does work you out. I would last about one day before I walked off the job though.
12/3 no gym, back pain still
At lease the pain seems to be from a pulled muscle and not a disc problem.
I know the difference a little too well.
12/4 gym is becoming a memory
I didn’t help law partner finish his move Saturday. He was cleaning out attic in their rental, and he fell through the ceiling 12 feet to the concrete floor in the kitchen. Quite a collection of black and blue marks but nothing broken. They’re now totally in the new house.
He fell 12 feet? He’s very lucky nothing is broke.
Exactly.
12/13 no gym for about 3 weeks
50 pushups.
Eagle78’s posts motivate me. They’re similar to me at 60.
Yeah, but can he do handstand pushups?
Probably, judging from that dumbbell collection in his photo.
Glad to be a little help.
I’m a fan of body weight exercises. As I age. , I find multiple sets avoiding anything near failure works for me,
All variety welcome.
You’re far from old. I’m a bit closer.
