Just trying to determine how offended I should be by the old comments. But looks like Iām around halfway between the two of you.
I canāt speak to this, but he is definitely more sassy.

70 x 1

85 x 0

Absolutely nothing there.
60 x 10. - fked
Ok I just had nothing here, just no press strength in my arms. It was time to switch to some exercises that didnāt need and technique. Where I could man (or women) up, grit my teeth and just get the damn job done.
Leg press
160 x 3
180 x 3
200 x 3
230 x 10 - PR weight and reps
230 x 10 - matched PR
240 x 10 - weight and rep PR
Now that is more like it. Legs were vibrating between sets.
Lever squat - facing machine
230 x 10 x 3 sets - weight and rep PRās each set
This was the icing on the cake. Every part of my body was straining to get these reps. Even my hands and forearms were sore from gripping the handles so hard.
Bad start to this session but managed to turn it around with some good old stubborn hard work.

Nice PRās my dude!! I used to do 1-legged leg presses, just so I wouldnāt have to load so many plates on the machine lol

I havenāt touched a leg press seriously in about 12 years. Itās a good power builder with carry over to squat dead and probably push press. Iām not sure why I went off it,I think the curve in my back if anything

Empty bar - 30 reps
And that is me done
This is the end of my 8 week training block. Overall I am really happy with how it went.
The ROM deadlift courtesy of @T3hPwnisher was a new challenge for me and I ended up with a nice 4 rep PR.
The overhead work with tips from @Koestrizer and @Cyrrex ended In some reps at 90 including a double which I am pretty sure is a PR
And I hit some PRās on some new movements too.
One more Deload session this week and then I am off to Fiji to relax and will have a solid 2 weeks away from the gym to let my body heal some minor injuries.
This is what 8 weeks of hard work ended up looking like.

You actually look slimmer? Anyway, good job showing everyone that making gains even at your extremely advanced age is still possible.
