SL isn’t easy once the weights go up. Also, as they go up, the time to complete goes up by quite a bit. I have a feeling there is a SL variant which reduces the reps but I’m not sure.
Perhaps, your question doesn’t have an exact answer if you are only stalling on two exercises. You can keep stalling and the weight drops/ rises / drops. There are a couple of other assistance exercises on the app which may help too.
Don’t worry about age, I played squash with an 81 yr old last week and I have met a world champ lifter in the past. He was deadlifting around 200kg at 70 years old!Just on the age thing -

I wouldn’t say it’s not working , I’ve definitely got a lot stronger and at my age I know resistance training is key .
But I don’t really need to be any stronger but I would like to lean up and keep the muscle , diet led I know .
Hopefully when the weather improves fasted riding will drop a few KG .
It’s just SL is taking me places I don’t need to go , but I do train because I enjoy .
Keen to avoid injury and happy to maintain .
I’ve been doing stretch and yoga classes which have helped with lifts bizarrely and I can touch my toes for the first time in 20 years .
