Just killing time before it’s up
57 years old, 6'2' , 240 lbs been weight training about 4 years but never did "the program" . Participated in one strongman competition and want to get strong to do more of them.Last day of training was 9/21/17. couple of days later diagnosed with detached retina- had surgery immediately and was banned from anything heavy until now. One potential fly in the ointment- retina has not healed as well as expected - may need another surgery in 6 months so any gains may be short-lived. Interested to see how much strength I have lost - best lifts pre-surgery:
press - 180
deadlift - 435
bench - 300
squat - 315
front squat 270
back to gym ....

155 xv1
165 x 0
165 x 1
135 x 4.4,4
Front squat
135 x 5
185 x 1
225 x 1 ( had more but this enough)
155 x 5,5,5
DB hammer curls
50 x 5,5,5
Was going to do some farmers walks but this actually wiped me out.

Re: starting over
Strong work there, @oldguy
We are close to the same age, but i've only been lifting about a year.
Your training history should help you a lot now, and even if you have to take another break.
Nice to have you logging here. : )
