Also in my 40's. I do 3 sets of 10, 3 times for a total of 90 reps, M/W/F. On Fri, if I've not skipped a day and I've done all 90 reps every day, I add 5lbs and do another 10 reps. Then I leave the added 5lbs on for next week. I'm lifting 105lbs right now, working my way up to your weight some day.
Constancy and dedication and discipline are the key. I am trying to just get stronger and not add much weight.. if u want to get stronger eat... then eat then eat and sleep.. it is unbelievable the weight lifters complain about eating more then lifting
I reread that.. thats a lot of reps.. but thinking back when I was younger. I'd do.. 2 warm up sets of 12.. 45 pound plates.. then 3 sets of 10... 225... then cool down and burn out 12 and then burn out could be 20...
So shit I'd throw up 90 total as well about
I have this on my phone when I need a little push to work out or if I am trying to make gamma excuses to not work out
