Poppy's One Year Journey For Geriatric Strength

I just turned 62 and realized that I’ve fallen way off from where I used to be with my strength. I’m not trying to be ridiculous to the point that I injure myself… but I would like to get some of it back. @Dirtnasty can OHP more than I can currently squat. I’m not ashamed, he’s a strong dude…I just want some of my strength back.

EDIT my goals have changed the post on the October post will explain

My goals for my 63rd birthday are a 405 squat and 315 bench. I will most likely wrap my knees and use wrist wraps. Kicking the idea around of using my old single ply stuff but that’s extremely aggravating.

I’m going to use the 5/3/1 template for bench and squat. 3rd day will be lats traps etc.

I just took maxes on sq and bp… 275 and 225. They were conservative with a rpe of about 7-8. So I will be basing all the training percentages off of those.

I also would like to stay at or below 190lbs bw. It’s been a struggle keeping my weight down…for health reasons.

Chems will be test cyp 150-250 a week… tbol 12.5-50 pwo only…maybe some prov when I obtain some more.

Brother…I’ve been analyzing this for about two months… I had decided on wendlers 531 for the economy of it all… when you posted about your ohp press numbers… it really sunk in… I got to do something before I totally lose all my strength.

With my leg feeling about 100 now my brain says we should have went for third rep. My rational brain says well we didn’t worsen e injury that’s why we got total and will not be set back for bigger future numbers
