Or whatever accomplishments, it's all good. Today after 6 weeks of working at it I hit 4x10 doing body weight skull crushers. Next goal will be 4x10 elevated. That is my new favorite tricep exercise bar none.

Cheers Chopper! To reiterate, you have a great attitude! Wise men learn and make the necessary changes! I sent you a FR because you seem like a great guy and us older brethren have to stick together! :))
FR accepted, many thanks Theophany. It's either a great attitude or madness, lol, I haven't worked out which yet, lol but whichever it is I'm embracing it full on! Saw your pics, inspirational & motivational. If I, can look half as good when I'm your number I'll well happy
It definitely require a certain madness to embrace this lifestyle full throttle, so you have that in your favor! Thank you ever so kindly for your thoughtful and generous words brother! You're physique will far outshine mine Chopper, undoubtedly! :))
Your welcome my friend & I appreciate your kind words too
Thats the spirit bro............ remind that bod whos Boss lmao
Lol. My mind that still thinks it's 20 is bossing my 41yr old body, the mind is a powerful thing, thankfully, lol.
Interestingly, the smith machine benches cause me less pain because my stabilizer in my right shoulder is messed up, so when i don;t have to worry about that I can kill the weight. I now arch my shoulders and lift my head up a bit and it helps ease some of the pain. The end of this month I'm taking a week off of the gym then I'll hit the weights a little lighter and try and recoup for the EBC cutter.
You know better than anybody what is working for you. Rest is best for shoulders
DeathstrokeI weight 175lbs right now.
bench 225 for 3 sets of 10
Squat 315 i hit for 10 reps then my lower back started hating me lol.
i dont even do squats right now
i get such bad back pump i dont even get to workout my legs
RustyhookerHit 1000 mg taurine. ...
i have tried tons of it...some reason it isnt helping
i'ma try just smith machine squats today and see if that helps
squats are good but there are plenty of other things to hammer legs
Good deal! Watch the back. More importantly watch your form.
DeathstrokeFor sure i try my best to have a clean form. i have to wear a dang back brace after my 2nd working set.
Another thing im proud of is i finally got the heart shape on my calves! Lol :).
I would like to thank you all for being so encouraging and helpful. awesome community!
Right on brother, this is what eroids is all about.
DeathstrokeStill cant get over the bodyweight skull crushers, Beast!
4.5 mins on the doggy style. Been stuck on 3 mins for a while now.
Lmfao! It's really bad when she's laughing at you cause your out of breath!
Best cardio there is.
That is a tough one!! For me too. Def a stamina killer
Yea, especially when it's one of her favorites.
I will have to time that one myself. That is usually my finisher,lol
For sure. It's the scenery
Not trying to offend any of the ladies but I really enjoy looking down at my wife and seeing on her back and shoulders all the work she has done in the gym. It is a beautiful thing. And the ass, that is still #1.
calf veins lol
That is an achievement. I was tripping the other day over upper chest striations,lol
lol ya man, my achievements are all in physique...strength is on back burner, hard to diet for a show and get stronger
Benched my body weight for 31 reps last Wed. Kinda happy about that.
That is pretty bad ass. I know I can't do that.
Bench 485 x 1 rep shooting for 500 this year 1 rep max
OursIsTheFuryThat's crazy
always been super strong on bench but i dont max out much anymore its so hard on my shoulders the hurt for a day or so after
That is awesome GJ! I have not tried a one rep max in a long time but I am repping 315 6-8x pretty regularly. I am happy as hell to be my age and repping 315.
Anyone that can rep 315 is a strong MF IN MY BOOK LOL
DeathstrokeFor sure!
Bench 315 x 8
Squat 405 x 5
Deads 495 x 8
Not as much as some of you guys but I'm happy with where I'm at.
DeathstrokeMonster!
OursIsTheFuryDamn marathon lifter ;) those are great fucking numbers brother. I'd be gassed on that deadlift set. I can feel the wind leaving me now.
OursIsTheFury435 bench PR... Was a proud moment
525dead with straps
465 ass to grass squat
Keep em coming guys! This is the kind of stuff we don't spend enough time talking about IMO.
I have just recently worked my way back up to 315 ass to the grass. My right hip had been a mess since summer when I thought all of a sudden I could play soccer,lol. I kept it light all winter until I could rep out 225 pain free. Once that happened to my surprise I just owned 315. I won't be going heavier than that tho. I am too old to be recklessly risking injury,lol
OursIsTheFuryNo such thing as too old. But that's what soccer will do to you haha. Man my hip was bothering me last year going parallel. So I said fuck it and went all the way down one day lifting and ever since no hip pain whatsoever. It's like a blessing. Keep killing it boss!
I can't lie, that hip pain freaked me out a little. That was a new one for me. All I could think in the back of my head was "oh fuck, you are going to need a new hip now". lol
OursIsTheFuryBody weight skull crushers seem crazy boss
AnonRack pulls 675x5. Set the pins as low as they will go, bar sits a little below the knees at the start point. Has really helped with deadlifts, gets me through that sticking point. Gonna hit 700 by summer.
Other recent PR deadlift 500x4, box squat 405x4, front squat 275x6 and incline BB 275x3. My bench is my weakest exercise because of shoulder injuries but I'm slowly bringing it up.
RustyhookerDecline iso press by hammer strength. 390 x 16. Going for 10 plates by july.
Body weight skull crushers? Holy crap that deserves applause! !
Awesome! We need one of them presses. I am going to start taking a ride down to this really good weightlifter/bodybuilding gym about a half hour away. I am feeling somewhat stifled in my current environment. I want to be around more juiceheads! lol.
I found them body weight skulls and once I tried them I have been hooked. It has actually been cool because I gave myself a goal.
RustyhookerJust lifting when the big guys are in house will boost you up quickly. Everyone feeds off the others energy.
I need to add t he crushers back into the plan. Since breaking elbows I haven't gotten past the 18 mark. Feels like it's gonna happen soon though
