- Have a blast doing all the above, you are limited only by your mind!
3, followed immediately by 6
Power clean 300. I’ve never done it, I’d like to see somebody do it. (come to think of it, I’ve never done any of the other things either.) And even if it doesn’t win the vote, feel free to work on option 6 any time. We won’t hold it against you.
Early poll results are leaning toward the 300 power clean. Dang, doesnt anybody want to see me look pretty? Its alot easier for me to power clean heavy if I bulk up and have my traps up to my ears.
But I guess folks want me to stay true to my name and do something a little above average for us older guys.
I’ll keep the poll open for another 24 hrs for absentee votes, but I think I’m going to see if I can get my bodyfat down to look good for the ladies AND power clean 300. Now THAT’S a challenge. Doc

No time like the present for a good dream.
Amen, Elaikases, no time like the present for a good dream. Couldnt wait for the “polls” to close, went straight to World’s for my first real workout pursuing my new goals.
Bench Press (real bench!)
10x135
5x185
3x225
2x235
2x245
1x260
Power Clean
bar work
5x135
3x185
2x225
1x235
1x245
0x260 terrible form
1x260
Hey! The old man lives!
BTW, before the workout, I was sunning in the pool with my son, and I told him about my poll. He adamantly insisted I get buff, as my man boobs and flabby gut really bother him and he further went on to inform me that I cant find a new hot babe looking like I look now. What a kid! Brutal honesty, but he has my best interests at heart, and he is already moving on post divorce better than I have.
So I’ll just have to power clean and bench 300 while dropping about 20 pounds of flab. NO PROBLEM.
Thanks to all you guys, you helped keep me alive when I was down and you helped fire me back up to train heavy now that I got my spirit back.
Doc

Sounds like you’re damn close to benching 300 already. get 1-5 and # 6 will come to you, I’m sure.

Looks like the 300# Bench and the 300 power clean are around the corner…now the timeline on number 6…
Number 6 is gonna require some cardio and bodybuilding, sorry guys… My son took some pictures of me and its not a pretty sight. The older you get, the worse fat looks on you. (I read it in physics book…its true!) And me and my neglect of legs, shit, my arms are about the same size as my legs-about 19 each! And somebody stole my delts when I wasnt looking.
I guess when you're married a long time you really just dont give a fuck how you look. She didnt either, so it wasnt just me!
Anyway, dont fear, just gonna mix up my workouts, like I did 60 minutes mixed cardio today, Wednesday I'm gonna train hard on cleans, benches and squats (Yeah, squats, happy Stu?). If it wasnt so ugly I'd post the picture (unless you guys really think I should post it to motivate me). I'm pretty sure I'll reach my goals, I got the juices flowing again. In three months, I'l have a video where I'm gonna power clean 300, bench 315 and then take my shirt off and show some abs. Or better yet have two chicks take my shirt off and rub oil on my abs. And the chicks could be in bikinis and they could "load the bar." Oh shit I'm out of control here, I swear I'm not on drugs guys.
I guess I'm Bipolar then...out of the depression and now I'm talking and dreaming big again.
Not Bipolar, just crazy! Doc
Welcome back Doc, we missed you. Videos and pictures are a must, give’er hell!

You need to borrow Colin’s speedo?
You got a plan, Doc, now go out and implement. Have fun with the squats. Nothing like a whole new set of aches and pains to get you motivated.
OK, streamline insisted, and I think I need all the motivation I can get, so I’m gonna embarass myself with current photos. Now at least you’ll understand why I want to get in better shape for the ladies. Fortunately training hard will just help, nothing burns calories better than OL as far as I’m concerned.
Feel free to give me shit. Just remember that car accident paralyzed the nerves to my inner thighs and medial gastrocs…barring a miracle they’re not coming back. Doc
I almost took before pictures, but I couldn’t face the camera. Now I wish I had.
Just to think. But I’d wait to post the before pics until after you have the afters …
No offense Doc, but when I got started, I’d have been happy to have that for an after picture.
Analysis:
Can still see the taper
Narrow hips
Good tris,traps,lats,and shoulder width
Legs need some size
Lot there to work with, can see you hidin under there, don’t appear to be obese at all.
Hell, you hit the weights and work on the diet you’ll be fightin them off.
PS, Small kitchen.
You’ll have the benefit of muscle meory too…read up on Casey Viator and the Colorado Experiment.

Or a really big guy.
Seconded. Most guys would give a nut to be starting with what you’ve got, Doc, or even to get to what you’ve already got.
Won’t take much work at all to become a babe magnet.
Well, thanks, guys, I sure wasnt expecting kind words after that picture. I guess I never accepted “better than average,” I guess thats why I still sometimes wish I had a 12 inch dick.
HAHA…You never know what’s gonna come out of my mouth, do you? That one slipped out partly because I’m having some wonderful pm’s with a sexy gal on T-Nation where I joked with her if she could handle a foot long johnson. I think I have Tourette’s Syndrome right now…all sorts of shit flying out of my mouth, along with a twitch or two.
But I'm living...and training...and having a good laugh whenever I can, even if its at my expense. And I'm sorry guys, I looked at that picture again...and I STILL think I look like a shaved Sasquatch. But its fixable. I'll have that "after shot" in 88 days. Started my strict training and diet and aint nothing gonna stop me. I just got hit with several of the biggest sledgehammers of life adversity, and I got knocked down, but I'm back up.
Doc
The Growl of the Bear. Let it roar Doc, your building blocks are in pretty good shape. Now it’s just about putting in the time. Stay strong Doc, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life.
