Age is just mental.
Everyone can act 15 forever if they want. Just look at politicians........

So due to my driving to work now and the gym not being en route or having parking I've stopped that, but I need to stay in shape (holiday in 2 weeks) and we have a gym in the office basement so I've been using that. A bench and some weights, basically. I can do presses, shoulders, deadlifts, but with no squat rack can't do squats. Except that - eureka - I can! We have a pull-up bar that comes out from the wall so my buddy sits on my shoulders, holds onto it and acts as a bar. He's 100k which is perfect. Also works for assisted pull-ups, as I'm too feeble to do them unassissted (just 5-10% of weight off really works).
Aside from sweaty balls resting on the back of my neck it works perfectly well. I'm shattered!
I'm not swapping my workout for yours !

I had a USPA powerlifting meet on August 1. I weighed in at 88.4kg in a 90kg weight class.
This is my final squat attempt at 496lbs / 225kg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlsB-QmS5xw
That's very impressive. What do you headlift 1rm?

I opened my deadlift at 205kg, second attempt at 227kg and failed my third attempt at 245kg.
Here's my second lift at 501lbs/227kg - https://youtu.be/Zq-fjbOrtmw
I've since switched to a sumo stance. After training sumo for the last month I pulled 225kg today after a triple at 206kg. I'm going to stick with this for a few months, I'd like to pull 265kg but would settle for 247kg.
I weigh 200lbs/91kg.
Nice job. I love the sumo stance. Much easier on the back and knees, especially when you get older.

Wowzers. I can do 3 of 160kg. Of late though we haven't the weight at the work gym that I have moved to to exceed that but I reckon I could hit 180 maybe. Maybe not. But lifting big heavy weights is So. Much. Fun.

Definitely. I think my leverages are better sumo, too.
