for sure. I'm not saying I HAVE to squat 700lbs at age 62. but when people talk like that I think of people like him and Louie a lot. we humans tend to age ourselves prematurely me thinks!

Not a great example, but when my wife and I spent a lot of time in the local yacht club all our friends were in their 60s and 70s. Were they strong examples of perfect health? no not even close, but they drank like fish, partied till midnight and showed me that age is just a number. My dad is 62, hits the gym every morning and golfs every week. He tried to get flag football together with all his old high school buddies and they wouldn't due to age so he hangs with me instead lol

I mean, I did pull my hamstring twice playing recreational coed softball, and that definitely wouldn’t have happened 10 years ago.

It absolutely only gets harder and worse with every year.

I was more making the point that harder doesn’t mean impossible, and obstacles are just that - things that stop you if you don’t find a way around them. But a lot of people sell themselves short, because not trying is a helluva lot easier than having to get back up after each setback.

It's hard to argue with it, reality is reality, but no part of the body is stronger than the mind. Tell it you're old and it will make it so.

I’m a billionaire, I’m a billionaire, I’m a billionaire. I’ll let you know in tomorrow if there is a wad of cash in my bank account tomorrow 😂

All jokes aside I do believe there is a lot of truth to what you say there.

actually, you know Hyde made that mention the other day about rich people being rich cause they don't spend all their money. You talk like this and repeat it and I don't know if you'll become a billionaire overnight but you might create a particular mindset....

"don't let the old man in"

I saw this older dude with a mask on at the grocery store driving one of those 4 wheelers rascal scooters around with an air tank the other day and of course my brain had two thoughts. one was critical of his situation since I know men older than him at the gym. the other had sympathy not knowing what his life journey was. all i know is the reaper comes for us all eventually, no reason to speed him up.

A lot is perceived as well. I’m not rich by monetary standards but I feel rich in my own terms. Have a happy healthy family that I love very much a roof over are head food in the freezer and fridge, clean water to drink, vehicles to get us around, a job that pays well and provides.

A spirit of gratitude is the single greatest asset you can have! Its life saving, IMO!

I love that line "ask yourself how old you'd be if you didn't know what day you were born"

Interesting thought experiment, too. I’m thinking I’d be like 65, 70?

Trying an upper lower split for the next 8 or so weeks. Bad time to have two leg days a week given the hamstring, but c’est la vie.

20 minutes of cardio after. Slower speed, no incline, but doing what doesn’t hurt.
 
Just keep things nice and controlled, and pay attention to it. If it needs a rest day, or just some light blood flow work for recovery then do that instead of pushing it one workout. You know how to manage this stuff from your PL days.

Yeah, it’s no big deal. Not as severe as last time, either. Just annoying.
 
Tightening up and gaining weight, good stuff. I can see the improvements.
 
Yeah, I thought decent results this week, especially given the training limitations and lack of sleep. Still no chest, but we’re working on it.

In case anyone was wondering, I’ve had two hellish weeks at work since my last update and haven’t been able to get to the gym.

Kleen probably understands what this means more than y’all given his work, but I haven’t billed under 14 hours in a day (except a 5 billed hour Sunday) since my last training session and had at least one 17 hour billed day last Friday.

Things seem like they’re clearing up finally now, but it’s been a slog.

Good to hear you are seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel! You have done well to get as much training in with work at that level, well done Sir! Hope you get a few weeks of reprieve at the minimum.

I hope rewards will be reaped for your efforts!

Don't forget the healthy bonus for hitting your targeted billing hours! I know at our firm it is pretty substantial even for the new associates.
 
Just keep plugging away! So what are your current doses on gear? Have y'all bumped them much?

Ass started cramping after the last set that I did. Scratched the last planned set for that reason and tried cardio, but it was not happening.

Now back to my cave to review some documents before bed.
 
An ass cramp huh, that doesn't sound fun at all!
 
Yeah, but you still got in there, that is what counts.
 
Steadily putting in the work!!!

Doing the best we can with what we’ve got out here. That last workout felt really good. Feel like I did a good job picking the appropriate weights and hitting the targets. Delt pump was fucking gross while doing cardio.

Confucius say quality far superior to quantity and older man gets lower quality options than younger man.

But, in seriousness, it’s also expensive to do cardio. Don’t think you guys really understand how many cigarettes I have to smoke to counteract these health benefits. And those aren’t cheap up here!
