Looks like I picked the right resistance last time; I’m sore enough to indicate the training had an effect, but not so sore/tight that I can’t train again tonight. I could have gone heavier, but I would have been physically out of it for four days afterwards if I’d done so.
Maybe I’m finally learning how to titrate this stuff.
Glad to see you back at it. Injuries suck.
Thanks Jo, good to be back.

Good enough. Pleased with FS and not much else. I’m foldy and soft in the middle, making presses harder than they should be.

Thanks Kev, mebbe so. Interestingly, I’m not too concerned about whether they do these days.
This looks like something I can get behind:
I’m not too concerned about whether they do these days.
I’ve been feeling the exact same way lately. I just want to get into some kind of reasonable shape.

Good to see you around these parts o pale one, did you manage to get to the gym?

Erm…no, but I watch lots of lifting videos. Does that count?
Seriously, though, the shrunk shank and old man fat-belt have happened and I need to make them go away.
I actually dreamed about lifting weights the other night. Time to stop dreaming.
Z-man here…AKA Zildjianman from the past…just wanting to find some old familiar names like yours! Hope your around these parts sooner than later.

Worked out twice. Didn’t hurt my back starting up (for once).
Might post numbers when they are not embarrassing.
Glad CarlDarby’s back.
Tbe Over 35’s resident Olympic lifter is back !!
There you are!
I checked old emails, facebook, everywhere I could think to try to track you down and get you back on here.
Glad that you are still kicking and, hopefully, hanging around.
Post the numbers. This is a training log, right? If it helps any, my first workout back after that 4 year layoff consisted of 1 set of 3 squats with 40kg.
Glad to see you here! I know what you mean about numbers. But it’s really about supporting each other in the journey, right? I miss your Oly lifting vids.
YES
yes please.
keep posting
Y’all are very persuasive and kpsnap in particular nailed it.

Keeping volume low for now until I adapt. I’ll add more stuff later.
Not smoking cigarettes any more, but am using electric nicotine-vapor pipe. All the vasoconstriction without the tar.
I have trouble doing this without a concrete goal so I guess I should set a few:
Press: 175x3
Squat: 350x3
Clean: 225
BB Row: 185x15
DL: 450x1
That’ll do for now. Gonna take a long time to get there, since I’m going to be lifting without a belt and increase in small steps.
Great to see you back at it! And congrats on dropping the smokes…even if for vapes.
I think you will be surprised at how quickly you hit those goals.
Choosing to go beltless? Or you can’t find it? lol
