Treasure, Not Junk

Dana Bailey is a machine…I’m guessing that’s a tough delt session! And there is a HUGE difference in the pics in terms of your Bi development . Keep on keepin’ on…its working

Top pic looks like a cinammon-raisin bagel with a schmear of cream cheese (oy vey!); the bottom pic is…?

I want to say the bottom pic is chicken, but it could be tuna. We should have a contest. Don’t know what the prize would be.

It should be smoked salmon if you are having a bagel and cream cheese. It isn’t, but it should be…:wink:

It is … ding ding,ding, chicken. Yes, the smoked salmon would be best. I got so hooked on that after going to Germany, had it everyday for breakfast, although it wasnt bagels, it was some kind of thin yummy toast.
Costco has a decent smoked salmon I get sometimes.

Both pics looked good! You looked leaner/more cut in the 2nd pic. It all comes down to what you prefer.

Since you are neither powerlifting nor Olympic lifting, you can squat however you want as long as you feel the muscles you want to work, working; that plus not experiencing any pain caused by the way you squat. My .02.

(ask G1 if you want the definitive “answer”!)[/quote]

I have no idea why this quote wont post…last try, sorry if there is 3 of them.

I already kno what he would say…

I am the same weight in both pics, btw.

How the hell are you? Last you post you were training a little more careful, so you must have da sexy lean look going on, huh?, huh? haha.

If something’s worth sayin’ once, it’s worth sayin’ thrice LOL!

That bottom double bi pic looks fantastic!!!

Yeah, I look pretty darn good for a 50+ old man, even if I’m the only one saying it lol. Nothing like G1 of course, but I don’t compare myself to freak outlier types!

PG I think you just avoided my question. Ill assume you have turned into a cardio bunny :wink:

Just because I dont log as frequently as I used to, I am not slacking. NOPE !!! Wont catch up with everything, just yesterdays. As far as legs Im going to keep some things in ,that are working and add back in some BSS etc. Sometimes the tougher my training the more i want it.

UPPER was hit after a 30 minute spin bike sesh.

buncha warm up I started slacking with a proper warm up, pushed my luck a few times too many…

incline BB
65x5
70/3x5 this should have been my 5x5 oh well.

DIPS
5,5,6,6=22

lat pull downx3

CHINS
3,3,2,3,3=14 2 set i went wider and palms in. Negatives on that last 3 rep(as in vid) on each 3 set

BBcurl <–watch out Imma gonna get some bro work going
10 reps < was happy with that too, btw

bicep curls together cause i like it over with fast
15s/3x12
combo with tri rope push down and a parts
25/3x12

kicking that spin first with a few end sprints this is all I had. Still decent I think. Dare I say I really am liking my shape!!

Don’t worry we know you are not slacking, and what’s not to like!

Great form on the chins! Like the new avatar too.

Well we are probably our own worst critics …its pretty awesome feeling when I actually get in this space. Its really really hard for me to let go off all the negatives or places to improve and just appreciate where I am at. I spend too much time not in this good space.

I am getting better at the chins, the couple wide ones, were decent too. That 4th rep is mine, I can feel it !! Thanks on the avi :slight_smile:

Spin yesterday, and lower body will get destroyed today. I may even throw in some shoulders and bro curlz :confused:

Wouldnt even be questioned if i was parked in a handicap spot today :open_mouth:

Nothing earth shattering going on here. last leg day was more quad dominant.

FS
6x3@90

BSS back foot bench<really getting that forward leg doing the drive
10s 5each, 2/10e

balance is getting better again. Will push for more reps next time, now that my depth is back to where I used to do it.

leg ext
55/5x12
45/1x20
single leg back and forth mega reps. Cant get over how much more resistence my machine has compared to last gym visit. I try not to get hung up on #s though.

Yesterdays upper
incline high
65/5
70/2x5,1x4

lat pull down and some light rows

CHINS
4,4,2,3,2 fizzled out lol but +1 need to get a better hang, but not bad! wanting that 5!

DIPS
5,6,5,5 =21

incline dbs
20s pause sets
3x10

curlz for the girls
1 set bb into dbs , hammer, cable ~~~PUMP ON.
alt with straight arm band work to finish, love these as its so easy to MMC ~~~HELLO LATS WOW.

Time to brake up chins and dips. Maybe more of a Legs push pull…we shall see, maybe decide after more of a ham focus wo.
Wasnt going to post another chin vid till i hit a more impressive number, but know what? 4 is most Ive done, so :slight_smile:

That’s 4 more than I can do!

Yep I’m my worst critic too, that I know of anyway.

At work so can’t see the vid, but your first vid was solid.

4 good chins is great, and the number will only go up. If you keep good form you won’t torque your shoulders and you’ll keep getting a great workout. 4 to 5 is 25% increase so it will be slow, but 5 to 6 is only 17%, so it will be faster, etc. etc., soon you’ll be hammering out 10-20…

The slow eccentric on that pull is impressive.

Mentally tough for me, more the reason to do them.

C you are in your kilt with a stone! NICE Ill have to come check out your pics , im out of time today.

Gorilla it seems to help. 5 s mine next!

Today was a lower day!! Out of time so here it is. I was super sore after last leg sesh and havent done one since(5 days) this should
do me in quite a bit more!!!

20s/2x8e
25s/2x7e

SLDL

on floor 115/1x10 seems easier than shoulders up, and or cant get a good squeeze at top, so…
shoulders up 115/2x10

ext
55/6x12 451x22

curls
45/3x8 wow was it hard to squeeze flutes, last set had to “reset” just to be able to MMC with that squeeze.

DONE F YEA that was a BEAST for me!

edit Glutes although always thought the flute had a nice sound

I was so sore all last week that i couldnt even get myself to stretch or roll out for days. Finally let the hub help me out with some massage, but it was still so painful. Thinking the drop in cals, and a few other things led to this. I did a very light upper wo, later in the week, although i did hit my 5 rep chin, but my form wasnt that great, so Im not counting it. I just didnt even want to move my body. srs.
So this week legs looked very similar, with less rest between sets, a few more reps/sets here and there etc.

FS

curls

some calves on the LP and I did some abductor to start.

Today my upper back felt decently rocked so I did incline db work, some nice volume for shoulders, and push ups , push ups , push ups.
abzzz

To keep the blood moving in my legs(do not want a repeat of last week), did some stairs, and alt with some spin.

My bar has the bolt coming out at the end, so I got a bit nervous to do my last set of FS, and didnt find the right tool to fix it so no BB work today.

As far as my eats, I am so on I feel amazing.

You probably need more nutrients in ya at least around workout recovery time? I was thinking of starting a BB program in Dec? Not sure though.

Im not that low yet, but i did up it for yesterday. i had fallen down the stairs (no, last time i fell UP the stairs) so wasnt sure my battered self was doing any wo, surprisingly my cement fall, left me with little injury.

BB program?
