So I'm back into it and slowly building back up. I hit 365 for 5 the other day, and in the past just had been content with 3 plates for sets at the end.
But I did forgot just how hard it is to progress once you get into that weight range as even just adding 20lbs to the bar feels like an extra 50.
Nice lifts man!

thanks. whats weird is- i'm 32 and this is the first time i've done four plates. i already feel the effects of being "older," but somehow, i'm still able to lift the way i want.
i befriended a 63 year old man at the gym, fit as can be. super nice guy. it inspired me to see his dedication.
