I'm trying to raise the reps at a "respectable" weight with my feet off the floor (legs crossed over my hips). I reason this is more of a pure muscle effort.
At 205 body weight, I'm up to 15 reps at 250 ... slow and pure ... all the way down and all the way up ... 36" grip. Fries my pecs.
On low dosage HRT, test and HGH.
At 62, been at it over 48 years.
(If only I had increased all my lifts a pound a month! LOL)
