Umbilical hernia surgery is absolutely not a fun ride :( That is all.

Lower day, yesterday: Squats, Weighted back hypers, Trap bar deadlifts, Prone leg curls, Decline ab crunch/Standing calf raise supersets. May have been my last workout for six weeks, depending upon how today goes. That's gonna blow.

I turned 73 this year. I identify as a senior mainly because it gets me discounts :), otherwise I don't really think about my age much. I'm in the gym 3-4 times/week. Do cardio. Yard work in the summertime, shoveling snow in the wintertime. Other than my eyesight and hearing not being what...

Yesterday was an upper day: Benches, Incline benches, Lat pull-downs, Standing bicep curl/Cable reverse fly supersets, Wrist rollers.

They're difficult, an' no mistake. But what fun would they be if they weren't challenging? :) For a while there I actually preferred front squats over squats. Then I started correcting my squat form so I like 'em pretty much equally, now.

An easy way to get used to the motion is goblet squats with a DB or kettle bell. I've been struggling with squat form. Then I added goblet squats with my adjustable kettle bell to my golf swing training warmup routine. I started out with the KB at only 20 lbs. or so, and slowly, over a couple...

Are you wondering what is the reason for doing them? The difference between (back) squats and front squats? There are plenty of articles explaining these. Just search on "front squat vs. back squat." In short: They more target the quads and core than (back) squats. Even I never had that...

You can do a lot with nothing more than a weight bench and a decent set of adjustable dumbbells. (Where "decent" does not include BowFlex.)

Don't just grab one and go. Do research on proper form and technique. While the hex (or trap) bar is easier than BB DLs, it's not free, and doing TBDLs come with their own challenges because you don't have the bar travelling up and down the fronts of your legs for bar stability. There are a...

My guess is probably this one: Starting Strength - Tampa I stopped doing BB DLs because they were a hassle and I spent as much time, or more, working to maintain good form as actually lifting. So now it's trap bar DLs, RDLs, and Pendlay rows for me.

Lower day: Front squats, Romanian deadlifts, Leg extension/curl supersets, Decline ab crunch/Standing calf raise supersets. Everything from the waist down feels pretty tired :)

Upper day: DB overhead presses, Cable chest flies, Lat pull-downs, Pendlay rows, Cable lateral raise/Tricep push-down supersets.

Lower day: Squats, Weighted back Hypers, Trap bar DLs, Prone leg curls, Decline ab crunch/Standing calf raise supersets.

Upper Day: Benches, Incline benches, Lat pull-downs, Tripod rows, Incline curl/Reverse fly supersets, Wrist rollers. I am making gains, but they're really, really slow gains. Fat loss isn't happening real fast, either. Then again: Easter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Missed an update: Day-before-yesterday was a lower day: Front squats, Romanian deadlifts, Leg extension/curl supersets, Decline ab crunch/Standing calf raise supersets.

Upper Day: Seated DB overhead presses, Cable chest flies, Lat pull-downs, Pendlay rows, Face pull/Skullcrusher supersets, Wrist rotations.

Lower day, yesterday: Squats, Weighted back hypers, Trap bar DLs, Prone leg curls, Decline ab crunch/Standing calf raise supersets. I've strongly suspected my squat form wasn't good. Somebody posted a thread about squat form and five things many people get wrong. I started addressing these...

Either the PRGR or The Stack System's new device.

Cobra Darkspeed irons. A TM mini-driver.

That's good to see. I'm happy for you :) I expect to eventually do swing speed training--after I have my new swing and really have it grooved. In the meantime I'm hoping (somewhat expecting, really) my time in the gym will help.
