Hi
trying to sort out a weekly routine to go alongside my activities.I am 62 and played sports all my life I currently play tennis doubles 6 hours per week and age related competition 6 a side soccer 2 hours per week. I also love strength training but do not lift heavy. I really like the idea of S&S, PTTP and the easy strength little and often type routines.I am not a fan of the loaded squat but for some reason just adore the deadlift. So my idea was M W F to do (Pushups 3x8 - Deadlift 2x5 - Chest press 3x5) then T T (Pullups 3x5 - Deadlift 2 x5 - row 3x5) where applicable weights would be about 70% 1RM. Saturday Sunday would be no weights but would involve some but not all of the activity time. If needed I would reduce the deadlift weights on Thursday and Tuesday or omit at times. I like the idea of doing the same thing each day so would not want to rotate the activities.Also because of the load tennis puts on the shoulders I do not like to lift overhead much but will occasionally do single arm KB presses at 12kg. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.My 1RM for deadlift is about 120 kg but I have never trained to improve it and like to stay in the 70-80 kg range.Thanks
