(444 posts)12. Good job getting back into it!
My suggestion for squatting and deadlifts for anyone on our age group (I'm 58 as well) is to use a lower weight and work in a higher rep range.
Mobility is the key as mentioned above, so concentrate on strict form, which the lower weight will allow. Also, stretch well before hand, especially when doing anything related to bending or squatting.
FYI; I'm an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and I teach yoga, so whether it's weights, or yoga I always focus on mobility.
Hope this helps.
