I RETIRED FROM COMPETITIVE LIFTING 11 YEARS AGO WITH AN 800 LB SQUAT....AT 165 LBS BODYWEIGHT....
I HAD A BONE DISEASE SO IT REALLY GOT SO I COULD NOT SQUAT OR DEADLIFT AT ALL A FEW YEARS AGO.....I HAD THE HIP REPLACEMENT DONE IN THE SUMMER OF 2006.......I SQUATTED 530 A MONTH OR SO AGO....I PLAN ON WORKING BACK TO ABOUT 600 BUT THEN WILL CALL IT QUITS THERE, AS I AM NO LONGER COMPETING BUT JUST TRYING TO KEEP IN SHAPE AS WELL AS KEEP MY WEIGHT AROUND 170-175....
I WILL BE 55 IN FEB....MY DAD ALSO HAD ONE DONE AT AGE 62 AND DID A 500 DEADLIFT AT AGE 64 AT 165 LBS....SO YOU CAN REGAIN MUCH OF OYUR STRENGTH IF YOU ARE SMART AND DO IT SLOW AND EASY AND BE CONSISTENT..
