Old guy here who still gets in the gym 3-4 days a week. I competed in power lifting and Oly lifting(limited) in high school. I did a few meets in college but nothing competitive for 20 years or so.

Due to my job and schedule I pretty much always workout with out a spotter. I've suspected my squat form and depth has slowly been eroding.

Decided to grease the grove with a month of box squats insuring I'm hitting proper depth. Just what the doctor ordered. Can't get out bed in the morning.

Something satisfying about waking up the next day feeling like someone shot you in each leg. That's how you know working.

It's hell if you have stairs in your house.

Leg workout after some time off and the aftermath of the next fews days Painful yet humorous. Squatting down to sit on the toilet is very intense!

Hatfield Squats! RIP Fred, was a fan since high school.

Why don't you just pick me up on the way to the gym and show me how its done? That is if you can get the car breathalyzer to turn the ignition.

Weighted lunges get me worse than any squat.
