EFTS SSB Box Squat (16" Box)

5 X 3 @ 115

* Did some expermenting and discoverd that the SSB works the prime movers a lot harder
by flipping the bar around and using it with what is considered the wrong direction. It's a much more
effective Squat.

The EliteFTS SS Yoke Bar is quite a tool! Been utilizing it for years. Always in the rotation!

Today was just a couple of light sets of...

Deadlifts

Zercher Squats

Dumbbell Presses

Chin-Ups

I am now moving into more frequent sessions with more moderate weights to build strength.
It will be 3 to 5 days per week, 3 to 5 exercises for 3 to 5 reps of each, spread throughout the
day in a kind of "Grease the Groove" format. Poundages will be 55% to 75% of 1 rep maxes.
I have always tended to train too heavy more often than I should, and at age 64 the time has
come to get away from that and train with a more common sense approach. I will still be testing
myself to see where my strength levels are at, but that will now be a lot less often.

Finding what works is key!

We gotta do what we gotta do as we age. I'm learning this myself and I'm realizing I simply cannot perform such a massive amount of volume like I used to.

You know it Brother. Mentally I stil feel a youngster, but my 64 year old high mileage body says otherwise.
Stay Strong!!
