next time for 335 ! the workouts look solid young man
OG, I’m starting to wonder about your health. Hope you’re ok.
9/14 first half
leg press 3 x 10 @ 225, 315, 405
lying leg curls 3 x 8 @ 125, 155, 140
deadlifts 2 x 8 @ 135, 225, 1 x 4 @ 315
cable rows 3 x 10 @ 180, 210, 220 ( I blame the handle configuration for not getting 240)
machine tricep pushdowns 3 x 10 @ ?, 150, 170
Leg press/deadlift weights today almost sucked. Sleeping well, need more calories.
I so hope in 20 years I’m throwing around the weights you are. 315x8 squat, 545x10 leg press, 155x6 and 80x8 db bench are numbers 20 somethings wish they were writing in their workout books.
Physically fine, mentally always been in question…thanks
NHLFTR, I would have really liked to have lifted your poundages when I was your age. I suspect you’ll easily surpass the weights I’m lifting now when you’re my age. Just keep enjoying it and you will.
OG, and you’re not working out? You know you’ve been my inspiration on here.
9/15 second half
squats 2 x 8 @ 135, 225, 1 x 4 @ 335
dumbbell bench 3 x 8 @ 45, 65, 80
pec deck (shoulder hurt too much for dips, think they caused it) 3 x 8 @ 110
machine shoulder press (sorta incline) 3 x 8 @ 90, 140, 180
machine regular press 3 x 8 @ 110, 130, 150
machine preacher curls 3 x 8 @ 100, 110, 130
Better workout than yesterday’s. 335 squats didn’t break parallel.
That was a lot of work.
Oh no, I’m still working out…and that’s most flattering, thank you…but you should probably aim a little higher !
and 1x4x335 is solid friggin’ work son!
9/25 first half (took off last week)
kettlebell warmup 20 swings each w/25/45/50
leg press 3 x 10 @ 225, 315, 404

deadlift 3 x 5 @ 135, 225, 275
barbell rows 3 x 8 @ 135, 225, 245

Was intermittent fasting last week. Without plazma for energy, I’ve got to resume eating a bit more. I’ve notice taking ZMA and vitamin D seems to work well.
ZMA is good stuff. I tell everyone to use it.
Crippler, noticed increased hair growth with ZMA? Also helps taking vitamin D with it.
9/26 second half
kettlebell warmup 3 x 20 w/30/40/50
squats 3 x 8 @ 135, 225, 225, 1 x 4 315
hack squats 3 x 10 @ 135, 225, 225

pec deck 3 x 10 @ 175
OHP 2 x 8 @ 95, 115 1 x 4 @ 135
I stretch before squats like I’m on a squat toilet, but legs/knees still felt tight today and messed me up. 90 lb dumbbells took the effort from the rest of my workout. Got to rest more between sets…
90lb Dbs …right on !!
410 deadlift back at 'cha.
Ha, I’m as bald as ever my friend.
I didn’t mean hair on my head…
Ah, no increased body hair either. If that occurred I might look like a goat.
9/28 first half
leg press 4 x 10 @ 225, 315, 405, 495
barbell rows 4 x 8 @ 135, 225, 245, 265
seated pulley rows, single arm 3 x 10 @ 100, 120, 140
cable curls 3 x 10 @ 100 (did these slowly)
Ok workout. Foot nerve was screaming too much to do a second leg exercise. Lost 5 pounds on last week’s intermittent fasting. 10 more will get me back to 240 where I want to be.
9/29 second half
Overslept but went to gym anyway, skipped squats today
kettlebell warmup 3 x 20 up to 50

machine presses 3 x 10 @ 50, 90, 140
machine tricep pushdowns 3 x 10 with about 100 I think
First time working out half asleep. Almost forgot to shower.
That’s one of the downfalls of being an early morning trainer.
10/2 first half
leg press 4 x 10 @ 135, 225, 315, 405; then 315 (with feet together)

low pulley rows 3 x 10 @ 120, 170, 240
cable tricep extensions 3 x 10 @ 100, 110, 120
I found a youtube video by John Meadows using that “odd” leg press machine, so I tried it. Different feeling for quads.
10/3 second half
warmed up today with bodyweight pullups, 8, 6, 6
squats 3 x 8 @ 135, 225, 315
machine squats (new in gym) 3 x 8 @ 240, 320, 340

another shoulder machine 3 x 8 @ 90, 160,180
slow cable rope curls 3 x 8 @ 100, 110, 130
Ok workout. Felt stronger today. Can’t remember last time I did pullups. First time using squat machine and it might help regular squats a bit even though 315 squats seemed heavier than 340 on machine.
45 minutes later I did pushups 1 x 50 in office.
Should have used 95 dumbbells today. Should have been a powerlifter in my 40s too.
