I'm old, overweight and loved disc 1 !!

I'm 49 1/2, 40# overweight and have not done any weight training for 3 months and did disc 1 tonight at the gym. I have to say that going from one exercise to another made the time fly. It was a little hard getting a bench or ball and the weights I needed quickly in the busy gym but I managed. I also could not do all the push ups so I did as many as I could and did the rest leaning against the wall. I did not bother with doing any 1RM tests. I am used to the gym style workouts so I am familiar with the exercises and the weight I would normally use for a 3 rep set and just grabbed a weight that I thought would do for the reps listed. I guessed very well for most exercises.

So for anyone who thinks they are too out of shape for STS, try it !!!

I'm older. 58 , at least 40lbs overweight and haven't lifted regularly in 2 years. I did disc 1 tonight. I used to be able to do full pushups but did all today on knees. I did all 1rm but was surprised that I had to lower actual weight. Dumbbell weights ranged from 8 to 12lbs. Yes you can do it. Even if you do some of the pushups and use 2 and 5lb weights, if that is the most you can do. DO IT.

A mere 49? You're NOT old! I'm way ahead of you in age - and I ain't old!
