My Father In Law finally decided to start lifting weights at the age of 73. We are working on getting his strength back, increase bone density, speed up metabolism and gain weight properly.
It's only been a month and we have made some crazy progress.
At the beginning, he could barely squat just his body weight 8 times only to parallel. He was only able to deadlift 45lbs. He could barely bench 15lbs. It was also hard for him to walk up the stairs, get up off a chair let along get up off the floor with help.
Fast forward to now.. 4 weeks later...
Trap bar deadlift 92lbs for 10
Box squat below Parallel 8kg (17.7lbs) for 10
Bench press 50lbs for 10
Lots of other exercises and everything has gone up in weight
Belly has shrunk about 1.5 inches
BW still the same but legs, arms, chest back have all grown.
Walking up and down the stairs without having to use the railing
Getting up off the floor and standing up by himself!
Never too old to start!
💪💪💪💪💪
