I have had past guilt issues over the use of the manta ray for the squat, but have discovered I really don't need it, so I won't be using it.īecause it fits, and because the gym - excuse me, Fitness Center - at work has an annual leg press competition and because my PR is 525, I'm also going to be working on the leg press. PRs to date (not all repeatable right this second) BP 200, squat 315 (depth issues there, but I got at least 75 - 80% of the way to parallel), DL 325. I'm not going to set a goal date for 300/400/500, just work as hard as I can and track progress. So I am going to modify his recommended routine with "at least something to get the blood flowing" (phrase due to Chris McClinch) every day that work, travel, and illness (Crohn's Disease) don't make that impossible. Downside: have to work, sleep, and do weights: can't stay on the treadmill 24 hours per day. Slight modification: I have type II diabetes, but have discovered that there is no evidence of that in terms of blood sugar levels as long as I stay on the treadmill. So, for the next year, age 56 to age 57, I am following the routine (don't have the text at hand, will post it later) that he says one ought to follow for one year for - one year. OK, I think I fall within the class of anybodies, and those are goals I've lusted after. In addition, he often says throughout the text that "anybody" can achieve a 300 BP, a 400 squat, and a 500 DL. Brooks Kubik's book "Dinosaur Training" seemed to be very much on the same wavelength. Decided that BB was a fantasy and PL was at least a couple of years away, my increasingly extended family was asking me to Lift Heavy Things more and more often, so I decided to go for functional strength for the interim. When you can perform 25 total reps for all three sets on exercises that require 3 sets of 6-10 reps, add weight.Īdditional exercises can be added on each day, but do not train longer then 60 minutes on any given day.The old training log was getting long, and I have been thinking about long-term and short-term goals. Try for more reps on every set of every workout. Your goal is to do as many reps as possible without training to failure on each set. This workout can also be performed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, alternating between A and B workouts. This is a 2 day per week fullbody routine, designed by Steve and should be used by those looking to build muscle, gain strength and/or gain weight.
