Thought it was high time I actually post some progress pics. I originally posted some pics when I was first started lifting weights (43) and was in recovery from a surfing accident. I’ve pretty much been consistent - my wife and I are each others best motivators which is a help - as usual (maybe it’s just my usual though) there are those times when life is just to busy and I can’t get in enough to the gym.
I will say - since starting its been transformational and our lifestyles have changed in pretty much every way…what we eat, drink, sleep you name it.
I’m heavier now than I’ve ever been - 220 and I’m 5’9" - so I’ll say I’m bulking - but I could work on a cutting cycle over the summer - that is when we get back from 3 weeks in Europe (2 in the UK & 1 in Croatia) - we’re celebrating 30 years…married when we just 20!
Routine is 4- 5 times a week (45 min sessions always in the early morning)
- right now its been an upper and lower split for the last 6 months
- always dead lift (Currently 270 @ 3 sets of 8) - always squat (Currently 365 @ 3 sets of 8) - other lifts change
and…yes … just started YOGA with my wife - she comes to the gym - i figure I can go to yoga and I tell ya what … stretching stuff is not easy - Hot yoga too - Good for old bodies - and young - so don’t wait ! You would be amazed !
Diet is clean, clean…except for the occasional 2 glasses of malbec, zin or cab franc
Supplements : Fish Oil - Creatine - Aminos - B12 - ZMA - Vitamin D…oh and because it matters - Saw Palmeto
Like I said … I’m looking for some feedback - suggestions - critique
i’ll try to get some photo’s posted if I can get things worked out here.
Cheers from a Canuck!
