Wk 6 to Masters- Squat

Posted by Keith Berger on September 16, 2011, 11:59 am

183#, 63 years old, North Dakota Squat Workout 150# x 5 170# x 5 210# x 3 185# x 3 185# x 3 185# x 3 I know these are light weights, but I had never done a squat until 63 years. The first couple of months, I could barely walk after one of these light squat workouts. Now I have built up some endurance and add 5#'s each week - so overall I am personally satisfied and have some good expectations for the future.

Nice work, Keith Slow and steady with the gains. Let your body and tendons/ligaments get used to the weight. You are going to have a big pr over your last meet in the squat! --Previous Message-- : 183#, 63 years old, North Dakota : : Squat Workout : 150# x 5 : 170# x 5 : 210# x 3 : 185# x 3 : 185# x 3 : 185# x 3 : : I know these are light weights, but I had : never done a squat until 63 years.
