I`m near of 50, and the last year, for many causes (study, new work, house construction)I stayed very sedentary.
So, before begin once again with weightlifing, I must take care of weakenesses what may cause problems. I`m begining with a pre - musculation phase to avoid future injuries.
If this run well, I´ll pass to a real musculation phase (squat, press, dead lift, pulls), and so to the classical lifts (probably i will make in the previous phases some light classical lifts).
The parameters are:
weight: 90 kgs
age: 50 years
previous injuries: a dislocated shoulder in snatch (I cannot more make squat in snatch, now is only with french technique), and a broken cross ligament ( I made surgery, with good result, but a blood circulation in the leg was affected).
Former results:
snatch 100
clean and jerk 140
front squat 190
squat 255
press 112,5
dead lift 280

Good luck with training Arturo.

I'd like to read about your progress.

[Owen Duguay]

Those are some impressive results Arturo.     Good luck on your return to training and don't forget to have fun lifting.

Thanks, friends.
News: the process is still "under control"

[Arturo Gómez]

still "under control"
And bodyweight fell to 88 from 90, linearly.

[Arturo Gómez]

Still under control. More facility of moviments, less pain, better respiration. Few time to train but well and safetily employed.

I' m thinking that in few days i'll finish the pre - musculation phase because i'm feelling a good blood circulation, good moviments and positions in the articulations, good muscular response, and reasonable positions for front squat.
 
The next phase - real musculation - will have squats, dead lifts (light weighst the first times), press and pulls,  more 2 or three suplementary exercises if necessary.
I must improve my frequency of training, and  if  it is possible, gradually  begin  to include  some olimpic and semiolimpic  exercises.
The objective of that phase will be reach good weights in basic exercises, and begin an especifical adaptation to olimpic lifts and fix their technical details.
 
(is very good for me: not  calendary, not federation, not coaches, not Olimpic Comite)

Last weeks a bit slow doubt to work and study.  New: we made a plane floor of strong concrete in our hill, destined to be a future weightlifting stage.
