Thanks Trent. Honestly appreciate the insight. 
I decided to pick a three day fullbody routine. I am going to go on autopilot. Open app, do prescribed exercises, and stop thinking about it. lol.
Only changes will be if it’s a press that hurts. I see a lot of pec deck in my future. 
Sounds good man. The full body routines are a great way to get lots of work in a short amount of time (more conditioning/burn more calories). As fun as this body building routine is, it will be fun to switch back to a full body routine early next year and start burning the place down. LOL
As far as progressive overload, etc., when I look around in the gym, I don’t see many guys over 50 moving heavy weight. Or if they are they aren’t doing squats, deadlifts, bench, etc. Once in a while I see a unicorn older guy walk in and do some heavy powerlifing but it is pretty rare. To me, it is becoming overwhelmingly clear that it becomes more about maintenance and less about PR’s as we get older. Definitely not trying to speak for anyone else but I know I can’t physically do that stuff anymore without getting injured so I choose more forgiving lifts and do the best I can. Looking forward to seeing how the full body routine goes. 
I wish I had the citation, but a recent study indicates split routines versus full body routines show almost no difference in gains. Enjoy!
Yeah, I like full body routines, as long as my knees can keep up. I will probably vary that a little bit as well. Whatever it prescribes for squat or leg press type of movement I will probably do a heavy, medium, light, type of set up so I don’t kill myself.
Agree on the dudes our age. I was telling a buddy of mine at work, I always do shit the hard way. I mean, who decides to go and do their first powerlifting meet at 48? 
Oh well, it was a now or never thing, and I am glad I did it. Going forward though, I am going back to more maintenance most of the time, and push it when I feel great.
Saturday
Weight 258.8
I ordered directly from here. It took about 3 weeks to get. Apparently they only ship units twice a month. Their app isn’t free either. RENPHO make a competing model that is also cheaper but general consensus per the youtube reviews was the Hume was more consistent and accurate. Some YouTube people were putting it within a half to 1 percent of Bodpod accuracy.

Had to do this one today. I am taking my son to school in the morning and I have a full day of commitments tomorrow.
First day of the fullbody routine from my app. It didn’t include any ab work so I added it at the end.
Pretty easy to be honest. Supposed to take an hour and with the added ab work I was done in 45 minutes.
perfect age to switch to strongman
I’ll let you carry that torch💪
I need to get in shape.
Strongman is a great way to ignore your abs. LOL
Monday Cardio
Going to possibly do an FTP test this weekend and reset too but this was an interesting test.
I have done enough of that. 
Good Lord! 
Looks like I missed a week’s worth of training over the weekend while I was eating fried food at the Fair. Way to get after it on the Peloton! Definitely moving in the right direction there. 
Also that was a good looking session yesterday. 8x180 is super respectable on Hack Squat. We have the Arsenal Hack Squat machine at our gym. The rack is insanely heavy on that machine. I rarely ever put more than two plates on it. Great job!
Thanks Trent. Idk how long the hack squat is going to stay in. I don’t like the one at this gym. My knee has been bothering me since I used it. I will probably swap out for some Smith Highbar squats.

Included a lot of testing pressing movements to test shoulder.
DB flats, nope
HS wide, nope
Flat bench, nope
Weird how the dips didn’t bother it, but DB did. Hope it gets better soon!
Same thoughts here. Surprised that DB flies and BTN press doesn’t bother it too. Really sorry you’re having to deal with that Shane. Hopefully it gets better soon. Maybe decline bench would be OK if dips feel good? Also, maybe trying the hammer grip on some of those lifts might help?
Solid session regardless. Strong sets on T bar, BTN, SLDL, well… all of it. Way to get it done man!
@ChickenLittle It is really just pressing anything in front of me that hurts. Inclines, declines, flats, all hurt. Pressing straight down, and directly up, doesn’t. Pec deck and cable fly is about all I can do where the weight ends up in front of me to work my pecs.
Thanks Trent. Declines hurt. I tried those not that long ago. Anything pressing in front hurts. 
Yep. Anything that looks like a bench press. Which is what finished it off after I did some dumbass banded push ups.
