Repost: shelly_ann_28 This post is for all those doubters. I am 71y/o, BW 132. I picked up barbell for very 1st time 4-4-16, did a chin for 1st time 1-25-18 and my 1st dip on 3-1-18. Prior to 4-4-16 I was not & never had been “athletic”. Biggest accomplishment was jogging 3 miles in the neighborhood. I don’t now & never have used any drugs. I like many did believe getting older meant getting weaker and losing muscle. This is a myth!! 1st vid from yesterday is last set dipsx15x3, 2nd vid from today first set chinsx9,9,8. 3rd vid from today last set squat 230x3x3. bakerbarbell probodycoach
