Long time since my last post.

Got back into the gym in January, lifting weights (squatting with the empty bar). Now I squat 200 lbs for 3 sets of 5 reps.

No pain, full range of motion in my THR. I encourage Anyone recovering from joint replacement surgery to include weight training in their recovery. I’m now 71.

Today squatted 210 lbs for 3 sets of 5 reps. And did 3 sets of overhead presses, 67.5 lbs, and one set of deadlifts at 190 lbs. One of the young guys was shocked that I had a THR and was lifting at 71. Total lifted including warmup sets was 9,187 lbs.
No pain, no soreness, full range of motion. I’m a believer.
