    That’s still hefty. I’m pretty careful on anything that involves the spine.

      I do 3 sets of 10 of 155. I should put the extra 10 on each side and do my once-and-future body weight of 175. I’ll probably do that next time.

      My squats are 315, also 3x10. I should add a tad to that to do 2x my body weight. I’ll do that next time too.

        I must confess I basically skipped leg day from 1980 until sometime last year. So I have some catching up to do.

          By the way, I gave ChatGPT my exact workout routine and asked it to critique based on my goals. It made what I thought were good recommendations that were not upsetting the apple cart, just pointing out redundancies, some order changes, and a couple weak spots.

          Then it asked me if I wanted critique on my diet so I entered a fifteen day average of my macros, then my actual typical meals, and it did the same (I’m good on calories and protein, it wants me to shift some fat calories to carbs) and gave me specific suggestions how to do it

          We’ll see what the results are, but I found both exercises useful and informative.

                My gym has been closed for remodeling. I could have gone to another fairly local location but I decided to focus on cardio here and house projects.

                  I’ve started to incorporate rest days. I still am active 7 days a week but I do push, pull, legs, rest then repeat, so 3 days on one day off the weights. The rest day will be biking outside when I can or inside when i must. But regardless I’ll do enough to close my rings on my Apple Watch.

                    This looks like a great way to increase grip strength. And just as a change up from my regular pull-ups.

                    A shame my gym used covid as an excuse to discontinue towel service permanently.

                      Question for the crew here -

                      Do you do any stretching or calisthenics on your rest days? I just started having rest days and figured that’s a good use of them. I’m the least limber otherwise fit person you’ll ever meet. Seems like I can slowly fix that.

                        I’ve been trying to incorporate a stretching routine into my days. My gym has been closed for remodeling the past two weeks so I just got back today. The remodeling is unimpressive but ok. While it’s closed I’ve been focusing on cardio which has resulted in some pretty bad foot nerve pain. Between NSAIDS, opiates, Tylenol and increased hydration I think I’ve got that under control, but it was bad.
