I will take that into consideration, but when I read that in Harry’s log I busted out laughing.
Not sure you can that kind of action outside the O35 section.

Maybe I’ll have to venture outside the O35. Sounds exciting out there. Been several years since I have. The last time I went to other forums a prepubescent trying to make his Field and Track team told me I should learn how to throw the shot and disc before giving advice.

too funny. Poor Harry, I hope someday you learn how to throw.
Love the new log name - so funny, I also laughed out loud, when I saw it in Harry log
As a fellow 035 logger, I am a bit curious, why would it be better to have the log in the training log section? For the way I browse the forum (using primarily the latest function), it would make zero difference, but I guess you all use it differently?

Yep, pretty much. I usually read through notifications, then start in the training logs section, starting from most recent, and move on to other sections if I still have time after that. On the other sections, if your topic isn’t top 3, I’ll probably never see it.

My squat shoes do the same for me, because it forces me to throw the stress on my long legs rather than my short back. Humbling.

Looks like you’re missing a spindle assemble and a blade.
The bearing cratered. I ordered two jackshaft assemblies, blades and a belt. I figured since I have the deck out, may as well replace both. I have had hell trying to get the pulley off the spindle. I am going to take them my buddy’s shop and put them in the vice.

Out of curiosity, why front squats instead of back squats? How’d they feel comparatively?
Pretty sure I didn’t do it this correctly but it was a toss up between front squats and paused squats. It boiled down to which one I hated less. The verdict is still out.
I know when I first started my weakness was the mid point, need to reassess and make sure I am working on tbe right thing.
I strongly dislike front squats, other than that they were okay. The first three reps of each were good but by the fourth the elbows started going down and I had to really work on keeping them up. I don’t have much in the way if fronts delts for the bar to rest on and my shoulders are slightly bruised today but I will live, maybe 
The platz squats were worse. I pulled something in my upper thigh/ hip crease last week and it didn’t like platz squats at all.
All that being said I may alternate front and paused every other week or maybe just do both, I dunno. Only thing I know for sure is I have zero doms and probably didn’t go near heavy enough on any of it

paused squats work for me, seem to recruit more muscle fibers.

Okay. Maybe I need to toss some into the mix. And, maybe put conv deads on Mon then sumo Wed or Sat.
Damn! This shit would be a lot easier if I had a brain. 
I hear you, it took me a long time to adjust to front squats. Maybe do them for a few workouts then switch to paused forth same number to 1) adjust to both and 2) get a fair comparison? The PPL +1 workout looks effective, once you find your groove on exercise selection.
Why not do sets of crisp triples? Especially for front squats, where smaller, weaker supporting muscles do more work and fatigue quicker, doing low-rep sets and driving weight instead of volume makes sense. ActivitiesGuy’s log proves sets of singles, doubles, and triples can build serious strength.
Maybe wrap a towel or foam around the bar and duct tape it in place?
I take that as a good sign. Other than the pulled thigh muscle, I read it as you’re stronger than you think and have lots of upward growth potential.
May be the way to go. It’s never been my favorite exercise so…
No, no. The answer is… grow more delts.
I for one haven’t given up on building muscle after 50 
I will just have to play around with the split and see how it goes.
