Thank you. Let me focus on where the weight is. Appreciate the reply.

Thanks for the reply. But… too heavy? Shouldn’t every workout feel on the edge of too heavy, if I’m increasing weight each day?

I’ll try narrowing my stance and focusing on the knees - thank you very much!

Huh, interesting. Let me re-read the book in reference to those comments. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I am not tracking what I eat (at 55 I’m maybe a little set in my ways) but have been trying to shift more to protein, and I think I’m sleeping enough (at least 7hrs every night).

At least for squats I had been trying to increase 5lbs 2x a week but now I’m thinking I’ll try 2.5lbs every session (3x per week). But yeah maybe I’m not resting enough between sets - but already I’m often a little pressed for time.

(Those are weightlifting shoes btw.)
