Yea, I think almost all of the regular posters here are probably at the strong enough level, but almost all of us here are keen not to settle.

I always have this guy in mind when I think lifting and getting stronger and staying stronger as I age:

Agreed, I’ve just added some box squats in myself, be interesting to see how they’ll impact.

Football game that I wanted to watch was on, so my wife watched the kids & I just set up the laptop in front of my platform, doing pulls every play or two spaced out through the first quarter. I actually love doing this kind of workout because it sort of takes me back to playing/training for football. A dozen or so singles / doubles of an explosive full body exercise (timed approximately to 1 set per play) almost simulates training for a long drive as an offensive lineman.

Some work travel in the next 2 weeks so I’m going to have to rejigger a bit to squeeze all 3 of my “key” workouts (SSB Box Squat, Box Squat w/Chains, and Sumo Deadlift) in this week. But that’s actually the nice thing about really focusing on 3 key workouts and just filling in with some active recovery or fun workouts on the other days - still should be fine.

Traveling. Miscellaneous assortment of lunges and some lat pulldowns on a lark. Nothing remarkable to report.

Exercise Bike (15 Minutes)

Didn’t really like the kettlebells in this hotel gym and the dumbbell area was super crowded so I decided to do a little light cardio and break a quick sweat.

Pull-ups

Had given my shoulder a few weeks off to see if it would calm down a bit. Will try to ease back into some pull-ups.
