600 workouts since I retired. More than that but I started using the #strongapp fitness program right after I left. Squat Day. Ryan is being coached by a friend of ours. Really weird program. Just followed him today for the power rack work A couple sets of warmup squats then squats with chains (he did box squats) I took mine to 239 unracked which is the most in a long time. Belt squats, sissies and the “booty builder” rounded out the session. Afternoon session with Bob later.

All barbell work this morning. Feeling pretty good considering my gym schedule the past few days. Probably take a rest day tomorrow (other than walking or a bike ride maybe) Wide grip bench @ 185#. Last set was 195X10. Chain work up to 229# (unracked). Earthquake bar (done right this time) and neutral grip bench with the Swiss bar. Lighter but took me to fatigue. It was a good morning.

Needed some big boy weight time today. Played around with the double overhand deadlift at 285 then switched back to working sets at the same weight. Stopped the AMRAP at 5 for now, don’t want to go up just yet. Rack pulls at 225-245-266, starting just below the knees like @power_pettitt recommended. 🤣😂🤣😂💪💪💪 finished with some back extensions with the 30# ball. #WoreOut #OldManPowerlifting #Masters_60_64 Lost the “beer weight” from the weekend, body fat creeping up again for some reason 😬😳😡😡 (210.6 BW, 22.5%) (at Elite Fitness and Personal Training) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7FZUvBpiy/?igshid=1tortdbx018sr

First powerlifting meet in 4 1/2 years for this guy. Training issues such as not getting regular time in 😂🤣😂 COVID in January and gravity, killed the numbers but I have a starting point to get busy going forward. Went easy for a solid 8 for 9 with every one body weight or better. Having two training partners now should get some real progress going. Certainly motivated after today. Thanks to @rblickenstaff for the advice in the deadlift and as always @aferchen for running a smooth event in a COVID world. After July, I advance to the “senior citizen” category Masters 65-69. Should be fun. #masters_60_64 #uspanortheast #uspapowerlifting (at Frontier Volunteer Fire Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhxKt2hp0R/?igshid=1gacoee7l6xs1
