Ahhh, let's see, I'm a friend of Vagrant's...5'11", 53, 213 lbs @ 17-18%, and I'll put the boring details in my bio.
I lifted about 5 years, the old "3 sets of 8" until all my joints caved.
Quit for almost 4 years.
Returned using MuscleNow program for over a year until joint caved again.
Discovered HST and did that for about 7-8 cycles. Joints healed on it. Got bigger.
Am presently at the end of the intermediate MadCow 5x5, strong as ever, a bit sore.
Will be using HST as my base workout, alternating with strength programs.

I'm new (7-8 wks) to deads (405x5 so far) and freeweight squats, which I'm having trouble with flexibility in the bottom, so I'm limited at 315 for now until I get the ATG ROM in form. I may not be able to do the wide stance arched back style; still experimenting. :

Hi quadancer, and welcome to DF!

Hi and welcome to DiscussFitness. We look forward to your participation in our forums!

Hey quad, I said hi in your other thread because I didn't see this one first. It's me V. Good to see you came to visit us. I hope you'll stick around. Your input will be most valuable. Plus a big strong guy who is approaching middle age yet still hitting it hard is a true inspiration to all of us.

And oops, I thought you were deadlifting 5-something instead of 405. But wow that's still great especially for the short time you've been doing them again. More than I'll ever pull.

Hey there V...nice avatar shot; you're looking much better man! Finally showin' some beef!
That mess you lift through is a lot tougher than my old age! The big job looks like it's ours - I can see TRT on the horizon! I should make at least 25g for two months of project if it hits. Ahhh, the dreams of mice and men...

Great news on the job. Yeah, growing a bit here and there now that it's not my primary goal anymore. Go figure.

Well, a renegade republican maybe...
And a bonafide half-redneck married to a black/indian gal.
Go figger.


We shoot back.
