46 today.
Feel as good as 26. In fact - the only difference between now and then is that I make more complicated mistakes now…
But then, I have more opportunity to do so now than I did then.
Here’s to ungraceful aging![/quote]
Congrats!
Happy birthday.

Not late at all, JW. For a b-day present, maybe you can teach me curse words in Mandarin?

Celebrate in style Mr.Skid. That Kurt Russell pic was good work, thought of it right away. As far as the kids go? I certainly agree, different ways and thoughts about everything, especially in the gym.
I still blame the MTV.
And by the way, it I can lift your numbers at 46…I’d be a happy man. God speed.[/quote]
My wife tells me a man doesn’t reach his strength prime till he’s 55, so you can pass my numbers easily.
Rolling tricept extension…nope, doesn’t ring a bell. Oh, and thanks, now I have to commit to lifting at least another 15 years? Just to reach my “strength prime”? That’s just great. Just great.
Bon anniversaire, Monsieur Skidmarque.
Merci, mon ami.
Push Pull meet in Sac. on October 25. Two weight classes: 220- and 221+ with a raw division. Winner is by Schwartz formula.
Dunno. Dunno. Gotta check the finances on this one. Wifey’s quitting her job…

Damn, That means I’ve got only two more years. Then it’s all downhill
The great thing about some kinds of conventional wisdom is that sometimes it’s just wrong.
I think you can keep getting stronger as you age - one just has to be more intelligent about it.
Keep telling the wife men reach their sexual peak at 55. She just said “finally”.
Which, of course, reminds me of a joke:
The buxom young thing finally landed her sugar daddy, a balding and wrinkled octogenarian. She, of course, didn’t really have any feelings for him and, in fact, figured she could eventually overstrain him in the bedroom and collect the inheritance.
Being a holder of traditional values the gentleman had declined earlier prenuptial offers of bedroom exercise stating that he could “wait for a good thing.”
Come their first honeymoon night, the old man repaired to the bathroom to prepare for the evenings dalliance. The young lady waited with some boredom until her husband came out. To her surprise, he appeared wearing nothing but a condom, a pair of earmuffs and noseplugs!
When asked what the regalia was for he replied, “I love sex, can’t get enough of it - but I hate the sound of screaming and the smell of burning rubber!”

Good one! Maybe one day that will be me…
Jokes aside, not sure which is worse. The long line of kitten pic’s, or that hideous rat-dog pic ? I’m a drummer, avatar of drums makes sense but jeez! I’m drying out for my trip, maybe it’s starting to get to me.

What’s wrong with my dog? Yeah - so we had to dig him up and re-animate him a few times (inheritances, wills, people checking on the health of the pooch - ya know), but he’s just as affectionate and loving as ever he was…
ok. not.
Actually - I had to draw the line when sepulchral and menacing voices speaking long dead languages - backwards - began coming out of him around midnight on full moons. I put him in a box and buried him deep…

skid -
What’s a ‘rolling triceps extension’?
Think of lying triceps extensions, but use dumbbells held hammer style and bring the end caps down to your shoulders, before rolling them down to the floor beside your head. That’s the start and end position.
You kind of have to roll them up the shoulders to get them moving, hence the name. They look like a sloppily performed LTE, but they’re a good strengthening and integrator movement.

Are you going to be doing all of your ‘regular’ benching with a pause now, at least for a while? Any reason for those of us mortals without a meet on the horizon ahead to do them like that? Or maybe just for variety’s sake, if nothing else.
