Going back to the Reverse Pyramid

[Mik]

Since October I've been following a recommended regimen of three sets of 6-8 reps at 80% of my 1RM on each machine. I have progressed very little on this, maybe 5 lbs on each exercise, plus a longer rest period between sets.

Going back to one set of 4 reps at 90% or 1RM, then 8-12 reps at 30 lbs less, then 15-20 reps at 30 more down. I really moved up fast on that. It should build strength, muscle and endurance. We will see.

I usually go around 2 PM. Today I went at 10 because I have commitments. The crowd there was even older than when normally go. At 70 I felt like a youngster!

But seriously, t's great to see so many older folks exercising.

If I go when schools out it’s me and a bunch of yoots.

I go to a relatively expensive gym where there's lots of bodybuilder types, male and female. Lots of normies like me too. Not too many young kids or elderly people.

What are yoots?

I would find that most demoralizing.

Except for the younger women. That's great. Love those thong workout pants.

Youth. With a Brooklyn accent.

Cultural deprivation. Sad.
