precisely! The “new” one is even more beat up than the old “new” one.
In my defense, I did not ask/demand ANY of this “new” equipment. We were perfectly happy with the old stuff. They were the ones that cut off the local channels and said after Jan 1 my recieve would no longer work at all. If it were up to me, I would have just let them turn it off. 
If you have to call tech assistance multiple times a day they will voluntarily send you a new one
Thanks biker!
So sorry chick, its horrible when they leave us…
owe, my heart. I know this feeling and it’s the worst.
I am so sorry for your loss 
Few things in life hit quite as hard as loving a good dog. Sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry! I know that’s hard
Since you are a Mod, do you have thw ability to PM me?
Was that to me?
Yes.
Sorry about your dog CL. 
That really sucks, CL. She had love and a good home, everything that makes a dog’s life complete.
Thanks everybody! This too shall pass.
I need to get my head right so I can figure what I am going to do about lifting, or lack there of.
Dan John one lift a day, takes all the thought out of it, just pick a lift and get after it. Love to you little chicken
That there is some goo advice (even coming from Danny boy)
Okay, I have read over the program multiple times. I’m not sure I can get 7 sets on the bench/ OHP if my life depended on it right now.
LOL c’mon chicken don’t get caught in the details. If you can do 4 or 5 then play on.
I confess (heh) I have been on cruise control for over a year now.
My main motivator to keep lifting, besides vanity (wow, you’re in great shape for a 60 yr old! is music to my years LOL), is that maintenance is easy; if I slack off too much, it is sooo much harder to get back to baseline/lose fat, etc.
Bottom line, I just get in there and do vanity exercises for upper body (arms/shoulders), plus “functional” exercises for lower body (deep squats with light weight/kettlebells, RDLs, mobility/jumps). If I feel motivated, I’ll do a little more. but whatever.
I don’t worry about sticking to any program, and I know it’s blasphemy to say, but I also don’t compare myself to/worry about the highly motivated people that log on here (leads to injury for me, 'cause I’m just average…) -I just admire them from afar LOL. (looking at Harry, The Pale One, etc)
Lift something 2 or 3 times a week, forget about logging it until your motivation returns.
Thanks guys! @simo74 and @punnyguy
This is definitely a thang.
I do get caught up in what everybody else is doing and start wrecking myself.
First thing that needs to happen is to get the rest of the sheet metal up.
2) is …get a heater. Hate to be a sissy but, icy bars/DB will not help my motivation… lol
3) Need to clear out some clutter.
4) I have absolutely wrecked my upper back. Definitely need to work on some rehab/ prehab. Everything else (hip) seems to be healed up/ non hurty.
4) Thou shalt NOT try to max out on ANYTHING right now.
I WILL come up with something. I AM Chicken Little!!!
When mom ask what I wanted for Christmas I told her some new workout clothes, so there is still that tiny spark left in there. It’s not dead yet.
I did manage to pack the garbage up the hill yesterday without almost dying so I hope that means things are improving.
I “tweaked” my hip over 3 years ago LOL because I was going out of town, and jammed (pun intended?) a deadlift workout in under less than optimal rest/warmup conditions. Looking back, that tweak/injury was the start of my “new attitude”. On the positive side, it probably made me realize my hips might’ve been getting asymetrical/shifted (if that makes any sense) in the interest of lifting the number on the bar.
I console myself by listening to people like Mike Israetel (Renaissance Periodization), who thinks that when one gets to 60, lifting any type of iron in the gym is a feat to be celebrated!
