68-YEAR-OLD POWERLIFTER SHARES HIS REVERSE AGING WORKOUT ROUTINE
At 68 years old, Raymond Singh is in the best shape of his life, crediting his workout routine for his remarkable fitness, as he shared with Parade.
Singh is a nationally ranked powerlifter for his age group who can deadlift an impressive 330 pounds. But he wasn’t always this strong. Just a few years ago, he struggled with high LDL cholesterol and found himself winded from something as simple as climbing stairs or walking too much.
Fast forward to today, he prioritizes his health with a mindful diet and strenuous weekly workout routine.
He starts the week off strong, performing a 90-minute workout on Sundays. This starts with about 20 minutes of cardio, followed by full-body exercises.
Rest and recovery are essential, which is why Singh takes Mondays and Fridays off from training. He uses these days to recharge and spend quality time with his loved ones—the very people who inspired him to get fit in the first place.
Tuesdays are largely for golf. Singh doesn't lift on Tuesdays, but he sometimes will head to the gym for extra cardio.
Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays are his most intense workout days.
Wednesdays include another 90 minutes in the gym with a five-minute bike warmup and 45 minutes dedicated to back, hips, hamstring, and glute-focused exercises. These workouts also feature a beloved compound movement, with five sets of front squats and five sets of back squats.
On Thursdays, Singh is back in the the gym for another 90 minutes with a chest and shoulder workout. He includes dumbbell chest flys, which target the chest, shoulders, and triceps, and reverse flys to strengthen the upper back and rear delts.
After taking Fridays off, Singh is ready for Saturdays—his heaviest lifting day of the week, focused on deadlifts. He starts with two warm-up sets, working at 75 to 80 percent of his max effort, then finishes with a max-out set.
For Singh, consistent workouts are crucial to feeling his best. He recommends finding an accountability buddy and identifying your “why” to stay motivated.
