The old fogies thread is more active than the not so old fogies thread. If only I had the testosterone levels of a not old fogie but with my old fogie knowledge. I'd look like Hercules!
Various stretches worked in with 3 cycles of 12 reps of various exercises; e.g., crunches, pushups, planks.
15,000+ steps

Yeah, I don't know if I qualify as a true fogie being under 50 but the other thread was dead...and to be honest my body is definitely responding to training a lot differently than it did even 4 years ago.
2 mile walk with the LOTH.
Wait till you're in your 70s
I tried to go climbing today but there was too much ice and snow.
Pullups, Hangboard, Hanging leg raises, and Stretching.

Early one today, heading out of town for a quick trip to see my folks. Triple on deadlift followed by a set of 5 at 90%, then 3x5 bench press and backoff slow triples.

A quick warm up then a 4.8 mile run.
Nursing a pulled or injured small of back, jury is still out on it. Alternating heat and Ice along with Triflex and Ibuprofen. Triflex is a combination of MSM, Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Pulls water from the body into joints, tissues and ligaments and promotes healing.
The wife has been an absolute angel taking the Homedics massager to my smaller back. Also have been in the whirlpool with epsom salt. I’m getting a lot of self therapy and see what happens.
Still trying to keep my routine going though. I skipped Core and pool day Thursday and did Shoulders instead; and worked leg’s today, but did squats, reverse lunges, walking lunges, wide leg squats, calf raises with just body weight, no dumbbells today. I did do quad and hamstring curls on the home bench attachment, but only with 35 pound plates. Tried to keep my back as straight as possible with alot of bending and stooping. I think it is slowly getting better? But again, the jury is still out. It’s a wait & see game now.
