Right, finally back to the gym this year after a big renovation/covid/various lurgies. The renovation did involve carrying a lot of plaster bags etc... but since we moved in, it's been not much lifting.
We used to do deadlifts/leg press/chins/dips before, but as we are both "not 20 anymore" I am thinking we should do 4 sets of 12 for a bit, then 3 sets of 10 and then go back into negative chins/band dips and then back into the heavier lifts with fewer reps.
I have an idea what we can take from when we lifted over...em...2 years ago (sigh) and it is already adjusted with fewer sets/some higher reps as over 40 recovery slows. (again, sigh, but whatchagonnado) :)
Just so we don't injure ourselves, because tendons etc. will be weakened from not being used as much.
What do you think?
