Well, I think I can finally make it back to the forum. Been busy with life the last couple of years. Still training. Just not finding time to post. So, now I’m back. Whoop Whoop. I finally got down to 192 and stayed there for the last 2 yrs. That is where I want to stay. As my weight dropped, from 230 or so 2 yrs ago to 192, I’ve been able to maintain my sucky 315 bench. Squats and Deads are another matter. I now have an arthritic, degenerating hip joint and I have to be real careful how I put stress on it.
I’ve already been told that it will most likely have to be replaced. I’m hoping not for at least 10 yrs or so. I squat, front and back, to a box just above parallel. Deads have to be done with a trap bar. My numbers suck but I no longer care. I’m not in pain and am still doing the lifts. Can’t do any type of leg press though. Currently using the 27 week BBB template in the new Beyond 5/3/1. 4 days a week.
