425# back squat.
Not bad for 40+
Don’t know about the ol’ double bounce though …

[Eric Barber @PN_Eric]

If you prefer the regular gym, do this:

Squat, Press (OH & Bench), Pull (up & in) & Deadlift

Do that technically well & technically heavy

Try Olympic Weightlifting. It will keep you powerful & inspire the desire to be mobile.

Again, technically well & technically heavy

Here's what I do now bc hindsight is 20/20.

CrossFit 4-5 days per week
2500 cals / day 40% protein, let the others fall where they may
No cheat day but loose on the weekends

I think CrossFit is for everybody ... not everybody agrees, read on

NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING

This can't be overstated. Just. Keep Going.

Consistency trumps everything.

Cliche alert: It's a journey, not a destination.

Action item: Celebrate your wins (even small ones) & keep pushing yourself to be the best version of you.
11/11

DO SOMETHING YOU LIKE WITH PEOPLE YOU LIKE

Find exercise that doesn't feel like exercise.

I love CrossFit, others prefer spin, or run club or whatever. Group tends to stick more than solo.

Action item: Try something new each week until you find your fitness swolemate. 10/11
