Re: New lifting routine - critique?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] but it all seems to be directed to my old college self who worked out 6 days/wk for 2 hours, not two (relative) geezers trying to better ourselves in 45 minutes 3x/week. [/ QUOTE ] I'm also a 37 year old geezer and lift 2x/week. I now deadlift both workouts and front squat in one. [/ QUOTE ] You may find (eventually) that DL twice a week is too much and change one of those to a lighter DL or other pull, as well as taking the occasional week off from DL. [/ QUOTE ] I found that out pretty quickly...on my back day I deadlift lighter weights and more reps. My back has been bothering me so that's been easier to cut down the weight. Also beginning to stretch my back, legs, hips more. Back issues are related to having a bad knee which led to tight hips which led to back issues. Funny how that's all connected. Since I started squatting & lunges knee has been responding much better as leg strength improved. |
