I shifted to AM workouts. Gets me up (and eating) with a purpose in the AM and should force me to get to bed at a better hour. Dad still working out in the evening, so I use that time to coach him a bit and finally do some FM chins and push-ups.
Bench Press - 135x5x2, 135x10x1
EZ curls - 45x15x2
Squat - 140x5x2, x140x6x1 - Didn't feel great. No power out of the bottom, but I'm still getting back into it. Hips are tight from being at a computer all day like a drone.
Stretching and PVC rolling should assist with this a but, and I'm getting over the whole 'don't static stretch before a workout' philosophy. If it loosens me up enough to make me squat with more confidence, no reason to stop.
Dad
Bench Press - 70x5x2, 70x18x1 Great set. Last one touched way too low and fell out of the groove, otherwise he had more in him.
EZ Curls - 40x10x2 His wrist is acting up, and this caused some discomfort. I told him to cut it shy, but he powered through the second set.
Neck harness - 5x25x2
Squat - 45x5x2, 45x6x1 YES! Not sure what changed. Sets one and two were high, but he nailed set three. Maybe the week or so away helped him - something. If we can get three good sets on Friday it'll be time to add some weight.
