Thanks JT. Now if it would just carry over to some more distance when I’m throwing.
Thanks Barry, you got that awesome back strength. Be sure time those peter pills just right now.
Soldog, if I weren’t for the news and the foreign channels my wife gets I ditch it, too.
J_Willy, I hit the gym about 4:30 this morning. How’s your workouts coming?
Welcome Beach Billy. Thanks for the visual of you sitting there with an iced up groin! Florida is where it’s at for senior games. I’ll try to IM you some links. Since you competed in your state games you’re eligible for the Southeast Sports Festival which is in Tallahassee (at FSU) this year, Aug 1-3. The Senior Decathalon was in Birmingham, Al last year. I’ll see if I can find out some info on it this year. So, welcome to the madness. I’ll probably run into you at some meets.
Thanks for asking hel. The workouts are going well. I figured out a the times I could act as if I am almost lifting weights again. Seems the school teachers and soccer moms get their dander up when a guy attempts a power clean.
I read your workout logs and am green with envy. Keep up the good work!
After work yesterday:
Throwing: shot/disc, form work
Form is looking good but still need more speed.
Looked at the calendar and realized my first meet of the season is right around the corner, Alabama Senior Olympics.
Ahhhh, senior olympics, the guys at work often remind me I’m just a couple of years from qualifying for those. That’s some sic benching hel! I feel like such a cream puff when I see those numbers.
The big question is if you take the sleeping pill and the Viagra together and then sleep through the “wood” and didn’t see it or feel it, was there ever really a hard on?
I’m a such a deep person, huh?
Oh Hey, Keep tearin shit up Chief! One day I’m going ride my Harley out there and train with you!
The senior Olympics in STL are the INDY race weekend, I’ll never make it. Indy is spiritual. Colin no speedos on the harley. I know you can handle your own but people would talk.

“How old are you?”
“45”
“Hell, Granpa here (pointing at quess who)is like 90 or something”
“Not a day over 75, asshole. You’re up. Should I take off some of the weight?”

Great comeback hel. Wish I could have thought of something like that a couple years ago when I was doing power cleans in the local Gold’s in front of one of the squat racks. Young guy, who was waiting for the squat rack says “Geez, you must be like 60 or somethin’”, which kind of pissed me off since I was “only” 58 at the time, so I increased the weight and did a few more sets. After I was done, the guy got in the squat rack to start his “curl workout”.

Hel - 75? shit I woulda guessed no older than 60 from the way you throw shit around…
I wish I could say I really had to take off weight for him. Truth is I work out with some young bucks that are seriously strong. But I’m definitely better looking and a better smart ass than them.
Hel, I love messin’ with the children. I have my headphones on and little is said. If they don’t have good gym etiquette i try to bury them. If they fuck with a youngster then i’m an ass and as HT told me on the phone I have a big ass which enables me to be a big ass. Rock on and train hard, have a great week.
hel - nice to see that someone benefits from the years of experience and patience, huh??? It must be very gratifying…the ball swings both ways, too…you get to train and throw with a great bunch of guys and just like this forum, everyone must help each other in the ways that they are able to…it makes for a great environment to train in.
