Well done. And there’s probably some bitcoin related thing on every 8 - 10 weeks anyway!😂

I’m back doing the push-ups again 1 more everyday to 100 (currently 90) and for the first time in my life gunna start lifting.

Just going to do dumb/kettle bells though.

Baby steps. 👊🏻

I have a squat rack, a bar & a bunch of weights.

I bought it in 2020 for $550 & it's easily paid for itself over & over.

I highly recommend it because you can do all the compound lifts without assistance. I failed bench press today but I can do that because of the safety bar.

Dead lift is the single best exercise for middle aged men. You can start really light & work up the weight to get your technique right over time.

I use the dumb bells for accessories (a little extra).

The key is keeping track of your lifts & gradually adding more resistance. Consistency always trumps intensity.

🤙🤝

Thank for the tips Brisket. I’ve found a YouTube Chanel for the “older gents” baby steps. But I will monitor. 🙂

Just keep in the back of your mind that it's far easier to maintain muscle mass than it is to grow it.

The older you get the harder it is to grow it (eat your beef).

Yes dad. 😂
