Bullshit, you’re not 48. You should have went on a 30 minute run or some shit.
Happy bday fellow virgo!

Wow, “everyday is a birthday” has never been more true than on PW :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah. Happy birthday.

I can’t imagine why the 70s felt heavy on your DB press. Duh.

Running before you lift?

those DB 70’s are monster!

dang look at those hammies working. Solid training as usual. Lil, do you do all your own programming?

oohhh, sorry video is sideways…or gravity isn’t so wicked after all…lol

owlie, I follow a standard Westside template, ME/DE Upper and Lower. Accessory exercises focus on my weak points…hips!

Feel free to ask me anything or PM me also.


Love the new avvie!
Your workouts make me want to catch MY breath, good stuff.

Good GHR vid.
I looked up the machine that I use for my “GHRs” at the gym. I do the same movement, it’s just not the right machine I believe.
