A Day In The Life Of Rocket

I have every excuse in the world not to squat, I have Bad Knee's a Sore Lower Back and it hurts my Shoulders to reach back and grab the bar, but the truth is I Love To Squat, in fact at one time I was pretty good at it, with a PR of 595lbs raw. So after reading hairygrandpa post the other day about squatting in the Smith Machine and only doing the bottom 3/4 reps I thought I would give it a try. So today I loaded up the bar with a wooping 95lbs and did 5 sets. Very little Lower Back or Knee pain. Thank you hairygrandpa. Now can someone come help me up the basement steps ?

Great! Knees will get progressively better doing the partials. Do not up weight, up reps instead for the first 2 month -or do it slower, like 3 sec up/ 3 sec down. Awesome to be able to help someone else!

I even tried the flys on the floor Monday, I liked them also !!
 
Or hit a med-heavy day and a light high rep day. I find myself having to do this for chest now.

One day is a flat bench w reps down to 1-3.

Other day in the week is incline dumbbells reps of 12-15.

Glad I went back to my old workout routine, I have enjoyed it this week. !!
 
I really like and have had good like with the True Shred / Muscle Sculpter stack. I will be starting back on it Jan 1st. I need to lose this 20lbs I have but on in the last 8 weeks, hopefully 15lbs because I'm really hoping 5 of it is muscle. I will be leaving on a Cruise for Cuba on Feb. 12 and I know I will gain some weight than. Welcome to my Roll-A-Coster !!

cuba-eh...I had liberty[if that's what you want to call it]at gitmo back when the navy had a training facility there, before turning it into a prison after 9/11...even back then it was nicknamed 'the rock'.

I tell you what...coming up on the coast of cuba it looked like a beautiful place.

Well I hope I have more fun than the folks at Gitmo. The wife and I figured it would be a cool place to visit that we have never been to before and you never know how long it will be available to travel to so we would go while we could. This is our first vacation in about 5 years.

I am going to bet it will be one of the safest places you ever visit...the philippines was totally safe for americans and tourists back in the days of marcos, probably the same under the castro's...

Can my Crush be a Threesome ??
 
Hurt Me Baby !!
 
Man oh man, if that beautiful young lady on the right was to wrap the big muscular legs around you and squeeze. ...
 
Hairygrandpa the one on the right has a bit of Burt Reynolds about her, that overnight shadow. You could be in luck ��

:) Hehehe! BOSSMAN already chose the right one, the Tom Selleck/Burt Reynolds look alike. Don't want to have beef with him.

New Year's Day Crush
 
I always look forward to the New Year, a Fresh Start on life, for me it is always a reboot, and I look forward to one or two positive changes. So here to a better me in 2019 and if you chose a better you also.

Be Kind - Life is Good !!
 
If you guys are still cranking on the dragons, I switched it up a bit this morning.
Lay on the end of the flat bench to where your legs are hanging off the end. Of course grab ahold of the bench behind your head.....and let her rip...
To me it was more challenging
