Hi all,
I am 51 years old and still chasing strength and health.
I am a former competitive powerlifter, trying to get back to a 200kg deadlift and 160kg squat at 80kg bodyweight.
I am after some advice please for a suitable Plan Strong routine, for squat and deadlift, from anyone with experience of training over-50's, currently I found I can recover-progress on one heavy and one light session adding reps from 3 to 5 before adding 2.5kg over 3 weeks, but the constant workload is taking its toll, especially as I also need to keep my conditioning up (I do A+A swing EMOM).
For upper body I am practicing OAPU (3× per week H-M-L) and weighted CU (1× 3x5 per week), with front levers and hanging leg raises.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
Rob
