The Old Geezer's thread

[OldPLer]

Afraid there is at least one older than you here, mu first competition was in 1964, it was Olympic lifting meet since powerlifting was not around or at least not around my area at the time.
Right now I am on 150 test ew and then I add whatever suits me at the time. Workouts are not as heavy as before, I work out twice a week in the gym 90 minutes and then I am out of there, try to avoid injuries and take care of them when they happen, when I feel a twinge I stop and do not do another rep or set, it may be nothing and if it is nothing then I will be fine for the next workout, if it is an injury then I take care of it. Sometimes you don't know if it is an injury or if it was nothing until later, when I was young I would plow right through it.
I have to monitor blood pressure, liver and kidney functions more closely. No more dbol, no more tren E, tren A doesn't seem to raise my blood pressure like tren E does.

46 here and back at it just over 4 years now.

Lifted off and on as a teen, then got serious around age 20 and trained steady to 35.

Lost my way for 7 years or so and started back again at 42.

Did my first Powerlifting competition last August and made the rankings on PowerliftingWatch.com for my squat and my total.

Speaking of music....I usually play older stuff because I think are favorite music is always from our teenage years. But the other day I trained delts/traps on nothing other than Sinatra. I did it for the chicks and the dames.

Man pops, I'm a youngin and I'll jam some Sinatra just for me. I love that shit

Now that's what I call smart.....glad to have you.

57 this fall and it kills me to even say that. How could it be?

No competitions, just a gym rat all my life. Fighting a cervical disc issue the past few months. TRT for the past 6 years. Can still squat 315 for 4 sets of ten and rep flat bench with 130 db's. Not much compared to some of the horses on here but not bad for an old dude.

Work out 3x week sort of a modified DC style. Love dropsets. Pay a lot more attention to what my body says than I did as a young man. Hope to be the "old guy still rocking it at the gym" for a long time.

Lol! You lot are just babies not cry ones btw! I am 62 and trained with wths on and off since i was 20, i just like it really! but most times have stopped through injuries, so now like a few mention above i am very careful and train light or even miss a body part if the begins to ache.

Also i like most types of music, and learnt to play guitar when i was a carer here at home for many years, i played a lot of Shawn Lane stuff, not quite as good as he was, but many said i was close.

Did drop down sets for the first time in years as feeling a bit older you want a partner starting off heavy. So I wanted a bench and this young chap did I want to partner him with flat and incline bench. WOW feels damn good, well my ball and chain liked the looks of the chest when I got home and she is hard to please. Need to do some drop down sets on a more regular basis I think.

Yea Kov I am a huge fan of drop sets.....more intensity these days less weight.
