Maybe extreme! I was recently diagnoised as prediabetic. Enough medications already! My GP sent me to the medical supervised weight clinic to loose weight and thereby control my blood sugar levels.

6x160 calories/day liquid replacement meals for 4 months. Energy level is pretty low.

I am currently on a doctor monitored weight loss diet. I am now 17 lbs lower than the video were I was 275. Believe it or not, my docs goal for me is 190# Hopefully, I can hit that by Easter.

Thank you for the suggestions. Power lifting is probably out! One of the consequences of getting old.

Here is a thread with a video of my 67 birthday bench press test.

Thanks for the replies.

Yup, have a bench. I used the 5/3/1 program to set my PR bench at 355 when I was in my mid-60s (posted a video here some time ago.) Loved the program but I was focused on...

Mobility of shoulders is shot. Can't grip a straight bar.

Use to lift 3x/wk into my late 60's, I am now 72. BP was respectable but squat and dead lift not so much. Life intervened about 3 years ago and lifting stopped. I can now start lifting again with no...

Thanks for the support and suggestions. I had forgotten all about the Manta Ray. Certainly an inexpensive option to start with. Should arrive tomorrow. Great if it works. Will get back to the SS bar...

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I would say the EliteFTS Yoke bar is currently at the head of our list. Came to the realization that we can't really make an informed decision unless we try...

Great work!! BTW, you and I have the same profile when we bench. The only difference is my back is still on the bench!! Fantastic arch.

Hoping to get just one of those reps by the end of the year. Impressive set!

Thanks for the support. 2015 will be the year I get my 365!

Living in Alaska, I usually on the tail end of most posts!

GREAT EFFORT! You have already made my "bucket list" lift.

Thanks Phattso. Still have that 365 in my crosshairs!

Just to break the Monotony!

Posted this 345 last month. One last push this year to reach 365. Hoping to keep at least 315 to celebrate my 70th birthday!

Thanks for all the support! Tomorrow I start training for the 68th birthday test. I'll let you know how it goes.

My all time max was the 355 a couple of years ago. Started lifting in my mid 50's

Yup, shoulder joints are pretty much shot! I still squat but have to use a Top Squat (adds two handles to the bar) because I cannot reach the bar when its on my shoulders. I probably loose one week...
