When I squat, it's almost ass to the floor. Did 2 reps of 220kg yesterday.

Yip, also go way down past parallel and pray I can come up again, nearly come short a couple times now and end up leaning forward to get up.

Nope. I don't even follow any kind of diet. Probably just lucky that I'm naturally stong, or something like that. /shrug
 
Just my luck.

I hit a PR in bench today (80kg x 5) and now I get sick again.

I'm not 100% sick yet, but I can feel it on my chest... It's coming >.<
 
Dont you wish you could just bottle a great workout you had and then use it again and again.

Tweaked my left shoulder somehow, it's been dodgy for a while now, somewhere in the middle delt area I feel it most on wide grip pullups and it usually goes away but yesterday stayed.

Gave up on pullups and tried deadlifts but shoulder pain was there so gave up all together.

Only way to fix it is to rest :(

Squats today.

If you keep getting sick you might find your diet is not sufficient, so the strain on your body is lowering your immune system.

You should really try physio, may get it healed much quicker than just resting it, and it getting hurt again all over.

Hmmm, I wonder. I may have the same problem, I am not getting sick, but I can feel my immune system going up and down.
 
Do you know of any good workouts a 50 + year old can follow (back problem and high cholesterol).

Basically the only exercise he does is picking up a pie and cold drink :D

My dad did that for a few years. Now he has type 1 diabetes and a heart condition. Pies are devil's food.

Just look at some low stress cardio (bike, crossfit, nothing with too much impact) and light weight training. Our VA is full of elderly people during the day. All of them seem to get along well, which makes it a lot easier imo. But no amount of exercise will yield results as quickly as a change in diet.

Bold part...as sad as that is, that is the honest truth. My dad, is in his early 60s, and last year December was my sister's wedding, and my dad didn't fit into any of his suits anymore. Instead of going out to buy a new one, he decided to lose 30kg weight instead. He did that in under 3 months' time, in time to fit into one of his original suits for my sister's wedding. The only thing he did, was change his diet, no extra exercise over what he was already doing, he only works in the garden and go for walks around the neighborhood.

So not only did he save the money to buy a new suit, he and my mom also saved money on their grocery bill every month, and on top of it, they both look 10 times better, my mom obviously was also affected by the diet, since she makes all his food ect. She however wasn't complaining at all.

The other side affect is, my dad's gout problem went away, and now he is back to enjoying wine and red meat, some things he had to give up to keep gout under control, yet it wasn't nearly as effective as losing weight.
 
can a casein shake expire? Stopped taking mine for about a year and started again like 3 weeks ago and i Notice its very lumpy now. Does dilute well.
 
I would imagine anything can expire... what is the expiry date on the can? Though obviously it having been opened for a year might impact the expiry negatively... I was hanging on to some protein oats way beyond the expiry date. Finally decided to chuck it because a fly flew in there and crash landed before he flew out again!

Regarding old men, my 70 yr old dad is the same weight he was as a young man. He doesn't realise though that a fair bit of muscle has turned to fat, despite me telling him. In good shape though, and people think him to be 10 to 15 yrs younger than he actually is. Health markers are all pretty good, super low cholesterol, high blood pressure under control (genetically predisposed), colon cancer survivor. Eats pretty healthy these days due to my influence, but still too much snacking on certain "bad" foodstuffs for my liking :p

Question to all the deadlifting gurus

I saw a guy doing stiffleg deadlifts with 220kg at gym yesterday. He managed 3 lifts but was shaking like a leaf through all 3.

What does that shaking mean? I have seen guys lift heavy but the never seen them shake so.
