I am in a tricky situation. If I eat a lot and get heavier, I get stronger. But with old skin that wonā€™t snap back when stretched, bulking up is out. I have trimmed from 90 k to 85 k by twice a week fasting days, that have become a regular lifestyle. Going to hold my weight there, while trimming waistline if I can.

Fiddled with my program today. Read how Gironda recommended 8x8 with 15-30 secs rest. Well I could do with some more conditioning,
so I am trying 10 sets of 3, each set immediately followed with 5 reps heels raise with the barbell still on shoulders, then 15 to 30 secs rest.
Other than that, the training didnā€™t go well.
