Trying to get testosterone levels up, or improve mobility levels?

I’m doing it because it sucks. As you said the low test levels at my old age should benefit from this also.
It’s more the challenge of it - it’s nothing to challenging at the minute, just lots of time under the weight, 120 feels great (when it didn’t a fortnight ago) I hope 140/160/180 will get that way over time too.

Thanks, seems a long time ago now, but my mortality was highlighted this week when I went back to hospital for tests.

I was alive this morning so I did some benching, 100 x 5 (pleasing) 120 x F (awful)
Some reps then some flies then some cardio

510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq		Squats 145 x 2, 1, 2
Bench 100 x 5,3,3,3
One arm face pulls - 3 sets of 12

Quite how 145 is hard for me I have no idea.
More squatting coming up. Bench and Dead are s**t too.

Not quite sure why this happens to me forever, squat never goes above 170/180 and an injury follows. Bench the same around 140 and Deads the same around 200.

At least this has only been the case for the past 15-20 years! Roll-Eyes
