GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log

Hyde said:
I never used to be particularly attracted to camel toe when I was younger, but either age or androgens has made me appreciate it so much more in recent years.

Maybe there just wasn’t the exposure in previous decades, but now it’s so common in gym & youth culture you see it all the time.

That, and honestly, I remember when I was in my 20's I had someone in their mid 40's early 50s tell me. Man wait until you get older. You will find you become attracted to a lot more women that you aren't interested in now. Your tastes will change, and you will find yourself attracted to different things in women that make a lot more women more attractive to you. I laughed and shook him off thinking he was nuts.

I find myself looking at softer women who are a little thicker a lot more than I used to. I don't mind a soft woman, it looks like more to hold on to, and I used to be into a very specific look, and most of my women were thin, or athletic.

I always liked the Camel Toe, but now, it makes me feel like a dirty old man, AND I LIKE IT!!!! I am no less attracted to what I was attracted to before, but now I have a new appreciation for people I would have just looked past before if I was looking for what I thought was sexy. It is pretty awesome finding a lot more women attractive. I get to look at more beautiful art every day just by recognizing different things as attractive now.

Got a nice burn and leg pump today.

One of the CrossFit girls came over and said “do you need any help Pops?” I was tempted but told her no hon’ I’m fine, and thanked her. I guess she thought she was going to help a senior citizen.😂

LOL its true across the board. I've always liked a good spinner but I didn't become much of an assman until I met my wife, now I'm not sure there is anything I don't like. She is petite for sure, but when she gained weight I was like this is awesome. bigger tits, lots of squish to hold on to. then she lost the weight and I was like, this is great its like a whole new woman 😂 😂

Having lived with two teenage girls, and married my first wife at 20, then finding the cougar in my later years to be my wife I've definitely noticed the same is true with women. these modern day teen girls seem to think hairless boys that look closer to girls than boys are the thing but once they become women they like some size and hair. I still say women don't even start to get interesting until they approach 40.

real women don't see six packs as sexy and they don't mind running their hands through a lush mane of back hair. those are the chicks I'm running with.

I’m w both you and GP on this. What blew my hair back 20yrs ago is different than today. I feel I have a better appreciation for the female form than I use to. It’s like music. Took me a while to realize there was more than Pantera and Korn. I think I bob my head as much as I bang it

Really felt good today, actually all week. Ha, when I got home that boy said “Paw Paw what time are we going bike riding in the morning. I told him about 8:00, and then I said “do you want to go the back way by the creek or go the route we did the other day, by the college and waterfalls?” He said oh definitely the route by the college and waterfalls, because those waterfalls are really pretty. I said yes they are, especially in yoga pants and booty shorts. He said “huh”, oh yeah there are a lot of pretty girls over there too.😂

Had another good weekend….my Grandson and I went bike riding on the bike path and logged in about 10 miles this time. The college route didn’t disappoint. He actually ran off the path when we passed a couple of girls jogging, and almost hit a bench, but thankfully he dodged it. When the girls realized he was alright they laughed a little bit and asked him if he was ok. It did scare him though because he wanted to sit on the bench and take a breather and a water break. I told him to just be careful and pay attention, and then said it was alright because that same type of scenery has caused many men to run off the road.😂
We took him out to the Mexican restaurant Saturday night and the little Mexican waitress was pretty flirty, and even his Maw Maw noticed it and told him she thought the girl was flirting with him. That made his night, and my wife told me later that night “that boy is going to want to go to the Mexican restaurant every weekend now”.
The rest of the weekend we did yard work and planted some plants, so nice full productive weekend for all of us.😎

I think my dad has a story about the only time he wrecked a truck in high school. IIRC his dad said something like "what in the holy fuk were you doing??" "looking at a girl on the sidewalk"... "oh, that makes sense" 😂 😂 😂 we've all been there lol. My grandpa was a rough kinda guy with like ten tours or something like that back in the day, and got his rank stripped down a few times for fighting lol so for my dad to make him laugh at an event like that tells you how much we're all alike, haha. BTW my family originally was from GA! ;)

That’s a cool story, and cool you’ve got some Georgia roots in ya. Yeah, that boy is funny, but he actually seems in love with his little girl friend. His Maw Maw was picking at him this morning about the waitress at the Mexican restaurant, and even though he liked it and was eating it up, he said I got a girlfriend Maw Maw. Then she felt bad and said she knew, and was just kidding, then she told him, I’ll tell you like I told Paw Paw “you can look, but you can’t touch.” Ha, he goes “yes ma’am.” 😂

So apparently its where our early family settled before and during/after the revolutionary war. Grandpa was 17 when we enlisted (lied about his age), asked Grandma if she'd wait for him, she said no, so they ran across the border to get married before he deployed lol. not a bad story! Then whenever he was home from deployments he'd get into bar fights with anyone who tried to dance with grandma, lol. her whole family is south dakota, so I've spent some time there but I don't know any of our GA relatives anymore (although I think we have a lot).

The funny thing is the Irish is on my moms side (very strong, everyone is red headed on that side) but the fighting side appears to come from dad's side...haha

Yeah a lot of our family were from Florida and Georgia, and some from Arkansas and Mississippi. Ha, all in the SEC…. I guess that’s why I like SEC football so much, it’s in my blood. And we are Irish with some Nordic and Cherokee Indian mixed in.😎🤘

Was able to get to the gym early so I could leave early enough to take my Grandson to his first job interview. He got the job, and starting Monday he will be doing food prep at one of our local restaurants, and the owner liked his personality so much he told him that eventually they could train him to be a waiter. When he gets old enough I will probably get him on at my company, if he wants to. He’s very mechanically inclined and I believe he eventually wants to be an engineer, like his Paw Paw, but we’ll see. We want it to be his choice, and something he is comfortable enough to make a career at.😎👍

Yeah, he’s a smart kid, and really loves working on engines and stuff, so I even told him we would support him in being a mechanic, if that’s what he wants, but he still says he’s thinking he wants to be an engineer, so we’ll see. Hey at least he’s got drive and is already realistically thinking about his future, in areas that he’s interested and good in.👍
 
man modern day mechanics are half engineer half software programmer anyways lol.
the blue collar jobs are all the rage right now and a LOT of them are paying more money right out of trade school than a lot of our white collar jobs. In our region, plumbers, electricans and STONE MASONS are in a major major need, starting wages are 6 figures for 20 year old kids.

during covid everyone in our region bought a boat and all of the mechanics, especially those with marine certifications, quit, lol. so they're fetching an easy $135/hr and working basically as much or as little as they want!

My oldest nephew is a pipe fitter in the union here in Georgia. Now he’s been doing it for 20 years, but he’s making $95/hr. Just to give you the contrast in welding jobs, at my company we pay our welders $20 - $30 an hour, depending on experience.

My uncle was in plumber and pipe-fitters local in MA. In the 80’s he did some welding at Pilgrim nuclear power plant and was handed a vent w no rebreather in it. Thought he had a nasty sore throat and it was radiation burn. He and my aunt both died of cancer. He would come home and get out of work clothes in the laundry room and she would wash his clothes daily so the Dr’s felt she got it from “hot clothes”.
Aside from the rads he got paid well

catch 22 for some of these jobs is its easy to age out sorta. the guy who I used to work with that is a marine mechanic and saved me a thousand times, is about 5 years older than me and 50lbs skinnier so he can fit into engine bilges and the tight spots but the job is hard on the body. so even though he's pulling down $135/hr now working as many hours as he wants (honestly he has like a 6 month backlog now) I dont' understand why these guys don't work to get young apprentices ready so that they can turn "x' age and start scheduling the work for the younger guys.

carrying around heads for a couple small block chevys up and down the boat ramps all day every day on slippery docks and climbing in and out of slippery boats and bilges in all weather would get pretty abusive over time I'd think.

Really breezed through this workout and had kind of felt like it wasn’t enough, until I got home and got out of the truck and had that jello legs walk going on. I’m pretty limited on leg days because of my old knees and my neck. My neck pretty much has made squats undoable, and I can’t get much good depth on the leg press we have. The new Hack squat machine is about the only one that for some reason doesn’t hurt my old knees too much, and I’m not sure why. I’ve tried different foot placements on the leg press, but I just can’t get that depth for some reason. I haven’t tried front squats in a long time, maybe I’ll try some light weight on those and see how it feels. But, hey, you do what you can at this age, and be thankful you can at least do something.😎👍
 
Before you try putting a bar on your delts, I would try doing goblet squats holding a db/kb/plate first. I have found that in the easiest variation to hit lower depth, probably because it really takes balancing the bar out of the mix. You can move your hands in/out and change torso angle without any repercussions the way a barbell would give, so you can play with your body position to quickly find what works for your hips/knees/ankles!

Then once you have a groove established with that, fronts will be easier. Plus you can start with less than 45lbs to warmup if desired.

I’m glad you mentioned those, because after I had posted I got to thinking of goblet squats and Bulgarian split squats too, and then fell asleep. I’ll add goblets to the next leg day, at least that will help me hit a little different angle than what I have been.👍
 
building off what Hyde said, I also like doing db squats but I will rest the db higher on my delts when they get very heavy. I think front loading in goblet style gives my core more strain in a good way and dbs up on the delts just allows me to move a little more weight. there used to be a guy on this forum who was an oly lifter in europe and I can't remember his name now. but his coach would make them strap into the barbell with wrist wraps to get a locked position before putting the barbell on their delts to help them gain the stretch and mobility needed to hold a solid front rack position on front squats. BUT he was an oly lifter so a cross arm style front squat wasn't going to be the solution on a clean and jerk.

I was thinking about these yesterday a lot. watching my buddy working his big triples from a different angle (I was sitting direclty behind him) I could literally see how his femur twisted in during his squat engaging his adductors. He and my son both have incredibly strong adductors and my buddy is very duck footed so he walks with those toes naturally out like 30 degrees and a correct squat for him has his feet poined WAY out. but his knees track fantastic. it's just this twist in the femur through the movement that engages his adductors that sorta blew my mind because I usually struggle to engage my adductors well in the squat, but bulgarians destroy mine. funny thing about his stance is he once did a session with Rippetoe and Mark was like, you know a thousand years ago they would have killed you as a baby to keep this duck footed gene from reproducing lol. then my buddy proceeded to squat 500lbs 😂 😂 for a guy who trains so inconsistently he's a phenomenal specimen of strength.

Started to see some vascularity in the shoulders….veins had already been popping in the forearms, and started to see some in the shoulders after the workout. When I got home my wife had not been feeling well so she was laying down. So when I went to check on her she was feeling better watching TV, but she said “what’s that on your shoulders?” And she looked closer and said whoa that’s veins and did a little cat growl, so I was like I guess you like it that I’m back at the gym, and she was like yeah because it makes you so much happier….. I thought she was just being encouraging until she pulled me in for a little cardio….oh yeah, Momma can still go at it (ha, my sons would freak out if they knew I posted that), but what those boys don’t know won’t hurt them.😎👍

A friend of my wife that she went to school with lost her husband last week and my wife went to stay a few days with her to help her tie up some loose ends, and organize some stuff….. I told my Grandson we would have a men’s night out, so Saturday I took him to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the UFC Fights, and we had a blast, and Sunday we went to Dave and Buster’s and I schooled him on the Pool table. He was doing pretty good, but I couldn’t show too much mercy.😎🤘

good times!! I have definitely grown to love those opportunities with my boy. He's way more fun than my buddies in their 30s and 40s always griping about their lack of sleep, babies, jobs etc. all the teenager wants to do is hammer some video games and pizza and squat heavy stuff. lol

Yeah it’s pretty cool…..going to UFC Fights, ball games, and amusement parks is what we did with our sons, now I get to do it with the Grandkids. Ha, and all the Grandkids like to listen to Paw Paw’s kind of Rock music.😎🤘
 
Hanging with your son, and I would imagine grandson is one of the coolest things about being a Dad. Especially as they begin to mature. I love every moment I get to spend with my boys.

I always ask my boy what they're listening to now days and he's like "I don't know" but then he either turns on my old school rock and roll or Johnny Cash. he says new country music isn't country, lol.

Really good bicep pump today….. I added CEL Cordarine to my supplement routine today, 2 in the morning and 2 before workout. I take so much it’s hard to know exactly what is doing what. I do think I noticed an increase in endurance and probably sweated a little more, but honestly with everything I have been taking, I have plenty of energy and endurance, and my metabolic furnace has already been working overtime. But I’m sure it added to the equation.😎👍
 
Nice session, that is a lot of curling volume, if the biceps weren't pumped something is very wrong!

Added in goblet squats after Hack squats today, and that really did the trick. Got a nice burn following those two exercises with leg extensions. And was able to do the goblet squats without any knee pain, so that’s a double positive.👍
 
solid leg day there, I've been hitting the leg press and v squats with so much effort lately I've neglected hacks, might have to work those back in.
