65+ Training

That’s pretty tough dirt.

Thanks. Always good to read about guys over 60 on here.

2/1

scapula pullups, 1 x 15, 2 x 10
inverted ring rows 3 x 10

hammer curls 3 x 12 @ 30, 35, 35
(short) barbell curls 3 x 12 @ 60, 70, 70
deadlifts 4 x 8 @ 135, 225, 300, 300

Today’s scapula work was easy and no more soreness. Maybe some handstand/pullup work soon. ( Crippler’ll likely have a 250 or 300 sandbag before then.)

Still waiting on the handstand push-ups.

Not much longer. Those scapula pullups replicate the handstand pushup rather well.

Did you show them what’s what?

Saw them in locker room vice gym; likely only used the pool. They dressed in black but for white t shirts that had police badge decals. Talk about quietly exuding confidence. The Seal mentioned doing 100 mile rucking one time.

I doubt I’d be any influence on those guys. They probably lift small storage buildings for fun.

Good leg work right there.

Better leg work would be regular squats with some real weight. Too cold to use SSB squat bar in garage.

Hey Mr Biker, are you following any sort of routine, or are you making your own program? May I ask your age?
Thanks,
