48 years old. Previously had a 500 DL, 400 squat, and 290 bench press at 38 years old.

Got back in gym June 2024. I’m 5’10” and 262 (down from 285 in June). I’m back to doing multiple sets of 3-4 body weight pulls ups, bench press is 275, and squat is 275. Just starting to get back into training deadlift. I’m going to set a goal of 1000 lbs club by August 2025.

Last year, in a north Alabama ice storm, I went and worked out in a buddy’s garage since my gym was closed. Cold as hell and it sucked donkey’s…

It's 17° here at my house. No idea the temperature in my garage, but it was fricking cold.

I got my spotter arms in today so excited about that.

I cut it down to just squats tonight. It was already later than I wanted to work out, but I didn't want to completely skip.

Stretched good and then did some warmup excercises for back and legs.

Back Squats
5 x 135
5 x 225
5 x 275
4 x 315
3 x 345
1 x 375
1 x 395
1 x 375
1 x 355
2 x 335

Supposed to be a little warmer tomorrow here.

Can’t believe you psychos were working out in those cold temps last week.
I took the whole week off.

Pressed 150 for 3 sets of 5 and squatted 305 for the same yesterday. Trying to get back to my strongest and pass that up but going to have to stop taking so many breaks.
