A @Frank_C sighting! How are you, my good man?
I think this is the natural evolution of anything. I would much rather teach folks up at work than anything anymore, but I used to like being “the talent” so to speak. I think you’re doing the right thing by leaning into it and sharing your wisdom! Someone told me, when I was getting cranky and leaving the army because I couldn’t be the guy anymore, that they didn’t need my body anymore; they needed my experience. I wasn’t mature enough to listen, but sounds like you’re finding it on your own.
I have to set the seat really high and get my elbows above my ears at the top, but I like it!
Thank you! You too. How is everything?!
I absolutely loved that one. If you’re in one place for a month, it’s perfect. It’s every day, but some days are just a quick shoulder workout or something so it’s very doable. I just can’t keep up with that hard stuff anymore, I’m finding. I could blame age, but it’s lifestyle too; you have to really take recovery seriously to be all-in.
I slept decently last night, although I did actually make the house too cold (I didn’t realize such a thing was possible); the worst part was I had to admit to my wife that it was, in fact, too cold. Surely we can find something acceptable between my 55 and her 75? My vote is 65 - that seems fair.
I dreamt that I woke up and there was a bar loaded with 315 next to my bed so I deadlifted it 71 times; then I woke up for real and went and did arms.

I’m bringing these a little lower lately, so right above my nose or so where I used to be forehead or higher; I’m able to feel it more in my triceps than elbows this way. -

Just 3 sets and some stretches to start getting back into these. I want to get back into the Meadows’ death sets, but I haven’t been doing calves at all so need to just get some reps in. -
