Headed to the compound for some lower work. The weight I have gained this year so far has honestly kinda surprised me. Maybe it’s my age and my metabolism is slowing down and just maybe I’ll be able to tap into some of that “old man strength” but I’m kinda surprised no less. That being said I have put a good amount of size on my legs and upper body but my ass, glute, is lagging and this is shifting my squat to my quads a bit. Not good for a sumo stance geared powerlifter so I will be focusing on adding some ass and improving my strength there in the weeks to come. As for today….
