41 and getting stronger
I squatted 180kg (1 rep) on Wednesday @ 80kg bw. The last time I did this was 2 years ago @ 95kg bw.
Probably not a lot compared to most of the guys (and girls) on here, but a milestone for me as I am 6 weeks out from comp and natural.

180 is respectable at any age, nice work man.

I guess coz I enjoy it so much (if you know what I mean), it is sort of a 5th warm up set before my real working sets 165 x 5, 140 x 16 and 120 x 20 (at the moment). I aim to get 10, 20 and 30 reps on these sets, when I do I add 5kg and start again, aiming for 10, 20, 30 reps.
Hairy and white at about 8-9%, hoping to drop 2-3kg of bf in the next 6 weeks. I'm looking at doing 4 shows in April/May. The last pic is from the INBA Australian Titles last year - aiming to be bigger and more ripped this year.

[quote=esplendido;39449]You look great in your competition photo! I am curious as to why the high rep sets????[/quote]
Low reps were not working too well for me. I've been doing the high rep stuff now for about a year and have made some good gains.

Excellent. Do what works for you. When I started doing higher intensity sets with less weight and more reps I added some new growth after lifting heavy for years. "Leave your ego at the door".[/quote]
Agree NYC Big Mike. After years of injuries from being stupid, showing off and trying to copy other idiots in the gym I have learnt what works for me. That is the beauty of this sport, we are all unique.
