Lost strength on the shoulder machine, maybe I took off too much. Holiday schedule, stuff to do, couldn’t make it to gym. Also did leg extend, hangs, dip machine, standing calf, seated row, leg curl.

So decided it was time to do some free weights. The dizzy spells are under control, doc put me on depression meds, and made me promise to do something like walking every day.
chest press, seated row
Squat: 95 x 7, 95 x 6, 115 x 5 form was good, felt not too hard
leg curl

Well, it’s been awhile I just haven’t been to the gym. Really lost a lot of motivation. Doctor insisted I do some walking each day, done that. Played around with the bands now and then. Had some time, went to the gym.
Squats 95 x 6 started easy with this, easy, but then got a twinge in my thigh. Good gried, I got injury on my first set of squats at 95 pounds???
So just hit the machines. Some press, some pulls, leg curl and extend.

Welcome back!
Good to see you back. Hope the thigh is feeling better.
Thigh is better. Did squats 95 x 6, 115 x 6, 135 x 4, 135 x 4. The last were pretty tough.
Some dips, well, half dips, so hard. Rowing maching, OH press machine, tried leg curl but ankles really hurt. Got off, ankles feel fine. Weird.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the wishes, But are you sure you want me back? I’m the one who reminds us weightlifing is useless. It’s a fraud. I lift and lift and lift for 20, 30 , 40 more years - and nothing. The body does not respond. Where’s my muscles?
Today did squats. lifting the plates to the bar is so hard, they’re heavy but I work hard anyway. 115 x 6 135 x 4 135 x 5 so hard, grunting on the last ones.
Pulldown, chest press, leg curl, seat row, OH press.
