As our forum died some time ago, I ll try this new one :)

I am trying to combine now a training for strength with a BB one as I am not the youngest fella, so let's see the results.

Saving my form to compare it for myself later. Natural, eating mostly eggs, cheese, meat and quark + additional stuff I find on my way :).

26.9.

morning workout (might be the only one, still bit odd after the virus)

Wide grip lat pulldown straight to shoulders 5x70, 5x90, 4x100, 4x110, 4x115, 3x3x120
Lat pulldown to chest (closer grip) 5x80, 5x90, 4x100
rowing - 8x100, 5x110, 3x4x120
calves - 6 series 8x70, 7x80, 6x85, 90x6,5,5
incline BP - warm up 60kg, 5x90, 3x3x110
BP push on that vertical machine - 4 series
abs - toes to bar - 3 series

seriously one thing that annoys me in the gym (I otherwise like) is that all the conventional BP equipment has both supports of barbell exactly at the width that is comfy for my palms (so have to use a tighter one), so I do a standard BP in the office. I thought that Europe and US should consider taller guys.

Front squats 50x5, 70x5, 90x3, 110x3, 120x3x3x2
Back squat (lower position of BB) 130x5, 150x3, 3x3x160
DL (conventional) 70x5, 110x5, 140x3, 160x3, 180x3, 190 fail in half
BP 60x5, 90x5, 110x5, 3x3x120

relatively ok feeling, just the DL simply did not go today, tomorrow taking off and hope that recovery week might go well.
