I have to give thanks to those here who changed up some of my thoughts on how to lift. Now that it's OK for me to do a set with half the reps I'm used to trying for, I'm getting a lot more weight in the air. I'm picking one particular muscle in each night's group to go for a heavy set, and lifting weights I never even considered in 30+ years of lifting.
Last night was legs. I won't do traditional squats since I can't figure out a way to comfortably rest a bar on my shoulders/chest, so I always do it on one of machines. Last night I peaked at 4 plates per side, still getting 7 reps on the 4th set. I went up from the first at 2 plates. Did a final set, back at 2 plates, of 18 just to really burn out. Was shooting for 20 but just didn't get there.
