Shoulder Press 16 170sec
Lat Pull Down 15 180sec
Leg Press 20 168sec
Static holds. First number is the number of plates lifted (out of 20 on a 200lb stack) and second number is number of seconds held. For leg press the pulley arrangement effectively doubles the weight. "TUL" = Time Under Load. I hold for 3 minutes or until failure. If I reach 3 minutes I stop and increase the weight next cycle.

Shoulder Press: fourth attempt at this weight with TUL up 18 seconds from last attempt . Lat Pull: second attempt at this weight and held on for the full 3 minutes. Leg Press: eighth attempt at this weight with TUL up 42 seconds over last workout and my best TUL at this weight so far.
Last workout was January 23rd and last tme I did this set was January 9. So I am pleased that I was up on TUL for each exercise. During the break from lifting weights I have been working on my diet, mostly following the recommendations in the Perfect Health Diet. Also I have continued my Aikido workouts several times a week. I have been losing weight slowly but steadily but in recent weeks I have been losing more lean mass than I would like, at least according to my Tanita scale. So I am doubly pleased to see that my strength has not taken a hit judging from the workout today.
