@tim10001 Cardio is interesting. I was doing low-impact HIIT on rest days when I was on SS, but I'm going to drop that during my cutting and put it back when I'm bulking. The idea is that I might need to burn off some of the fat I'll be taking on when in surplus.

@tim10001 This article is also on the subject that inspired my high rep approach. It cites a couple of studies too, so I think it may not be your usual bro science.

@tim10001 As to the high vs low rep thing, I linked to a recent study (there are others) that indicate high reps/low load may be better for older people to get the same results as low ones. In my programme however, I am mixing it up with a low rep/high load on Sunday. And my DLs are always high...

@brerdo Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I'm in London UK (where it rains all the time) but there might be people here that do loans.

@swainkas Well SS was back to back and I progressed OK-(ish), but plateaued eventually (although not on my DLs). Hence this new plan. But I think I might drop the DL on Thurs as that might be too hard.

@souheilzeit OK yes - I was wondering about the recovery time issue. TBH part of the key to me doing this successfully is going to be time per workout too, so that might work out well.

I'm 52, skinny, never done much exercise in the past, and started lifting in the last year. 5 months on Starting Strength (modified as per The Barbell Prescription). Have since moved on to a programme I've evolved for myself over the last few months, but haven't yet put fully into practice...

I'm 50 years old, unfit, skinny and reading (and re-reading) "The Barbell Prescription". I'm looking into the possibility of setting up a simple home gym for weight lifting (a squat rack and bench, essentially). But I'm not sure what I should buy when it comes to the weights. I also have...

@joshuasamuelquiroz OK. But source?

@levit7 OK will do.

Hi. I am M53 and weight lifting to increase muscle mass in order not to have a crappy old age falling off toilets n' srtuff when I'm 80. I've just been reading this and other similar stuff about protein use and synthesis and the apparent fact that you can't use more than a certain amount of...
