A Day In The Life Of Rocket

[gphagan1]

My delt's bother me all the time, I'm just old!

I feel you brother

 

[LeanEngineer]

Just a little pain in my right delt while doing these ??

For me, really any overhead tricep exercise, it seems i'm always hit or miss on the elbow pain. I'm not sure if I don't warm it up good enough or if I tweak it sometimes from the start.

Lying Extensions don't hurt, but standing do.

@Hyde Look what found me !!

 

[Hyde]

Sexy!

 

[MrKleen73]

Yep gotta love Titan for the value and quality.

Notes; Great workout today, I even noticed a few veins in my lat's, I have never seen veins in my lat's before? Something must be working !!

 

[MrKleen73]

Got to love the new veins!

 

[gphagan1]

Who says only young men can have good vascularity…….you’re recapturing your youth Rocket.

Either that or you got new glasses ?!

This is no joking matter, I take new vein sightings very serious !!

Very serious indeed! Hitting 181 is a new low for you recently isn't it?

 

[Rocket3015]

Pretty Close, but I don't think I have ever carried this much muscle at any weigh or age !!

 

[MrKleen73]

I bet you are as lean as you were at 175 last time. It's time to just continue the cut and find a Masters competition near you!

[Rocket3015]

I got to thinking about the statement I made and it's kind of strange, my waist is not as small as it was back when I was at 175lbs but most of my skin is thinner. I still have way to much fat in the love handle area. But it's all a work in progress. I will also say I have no interest in doing a show.

The Red Robin Classic

Today is my wife's 69th Birthday, so tonight it's Hibachi Time !!

 

[MrKleen73]

Today is my wife's 69th Birthday, so tonight it's Hibachi Time !!

UH OHHHHHHHH SIXTY NIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!! LMAO We have a morning show DJ that says that every time it is 69 degrees out or anything happens to land on the number 69. LOL Hope you and the wife have an excellent time! Enjoy that Hibachi! I like to get the ribeye, and shrimp and then put the ginger sauce on my chicken fried rice! OH YUM!!!!

As far as a show in all honestly you could probably walk onto the stage at a local show looking the way you do now and place if not take your age class in the Masters division. I just don't see you as the posing trunks kind of guy. Now me if I look that good at 64 I will more than likely do a show just to do it.

 

[SHORSE]

Happy birthday to your wife! Lots of proteins @ Hibachi

Great idea for Rocket! We will however need body waxing vids!

I went to the Water Park with the grand kids last week, that was the first time I have worn shorts, and took off my shirt in public in maybe 10 years !!

It’s a liberating feeling isn’t it? Before you know it, you’ll be clapping around in flip flops and tank tops everywhere in public, just like me

Notes; Went to the Hibachi ask for No Butter& No Oil, I got a To-Go container and put half of my meal in it as it was served to me. It worked out pretty good.

 

[gphagan1]

Happy Birthday to your wife.
I bet you felt good walking around a Water Park in better shape than most of the kids there. Sometimes it’s those little victories of doing things you wouldn’t or couldn’t do before that makes you feel like you’ve already won something.

It did feel pretty good, some young man (about 14) came up to me and said "Dude Your Swole" I just sad "Thank You".

That's when you're suppose to tell him you're Arnold Schwarzenager and see if he buys it

I'm a little too short to pull that off. Maybe Franko ???

This is a picture of a picture I have hanging in my home gym

 

[SHORSE]

I see the resemblance!

 

[Rocket3015]

The only difference is I don't have that crease in my chest.

 

[gphagan1]

Just a Beast…..now that’s what you call slabs of muscle

 

[Rocket3015]

He was small but mighty !! Respect !!

Determination!

 

[Rocket3015]

Determination!

I would be very proud to have a body like Franco. My determination is very good right now, till I get distracted by some cookies !!

I see a name change coming:

Rocket3015 --> CookieMonster3015

It’s always good when everything lines up, it makes life so much better and fun. You do a good job of keeping your calories down even when you go out to eat. That’s when many people fail, those special occasions.

The more you divert from the normal plan, the more important it becomes to make those diversions stay in line with the plan! When I am controlling or lowering my weight, if there is a special family meal I will fast and pull carbs & fats from other meals, and restricting portions like you said. I can have a piece of cake or pizza with family, and not eat half a cake or pizza!

 

[LeanEngineer]

My family would agree with that !!

Have you tried the Quest cookie?!

 

[Hyde]

Have you tried the Quest cookie?!

My wife gets the peanut butter cups sometimes on a diet. I don’t think they’re much better for you than an actual Reese’s, but they’re so expensive I think it ensures she doesn’t eat them often!

I am usually not very good at that but I have been able to stay on track better lately !!

It's very hard to do sometimes, but necessary to stay on track.

 

[Rocket3015]

I have but they are very high in calories.

 

[Rocket3015]

I have a friend who's daughter is a pastry chef, she made these cookies for my birthday one year, I froze they and managed to make them last 2 years. She made me the cake this year, it didn't last a week !! Sometimes my motivation is good, some times I'm a glutton !!
