Event less.
I have some economical problems lately, so I had to buy the cheapest Test-e possible. Here a pic:

Made in India. What can possibly go wrong?
I've heard this before somewhere ??You could rapidly grow in size and tell the wife "Dont make me Angry, you wont like me when I'm angry" then turn into a big green Monster
Yes, thanks! It was gut wrenching and noisy. I was the drill sergeant. My training partner almost lost his temper, accusing me of "abuse of power".hairygrandpa, Super Workout Bro!
Super Bro Workout!hairygrandpa, Super Workout Bro!
Did you tell him you’re just fired up from that Green Tea Cypionate??Yes, thanks! It was gut wrenching and noisy. I was the drill sergeant. My training partner almost lost his temper, accusing me of "abuse of power".
I would highly recommend you reconsider this. Dumbbell flyes already put your shoulder at tremendous risk.I just do, barely. Maybe shape of DB helps, plates stand out some. My training partner can't touch ground. I'm "special" LOL
This is pretty fuarking sahweet!Shoulders/Legs
Did it all. Like a good soldier. Too lazy to write it all down.
Doing partial squats from the lowest position for a couple of weeks is showing results! My training partner can't repeat the movement with more than 90lbs. (1 rep is: azz to grass is starting position, then slow 2 feet up, then slow down azz to grass). I'm doing now 10 reps with 225lbs.
I can feel how my knees are getting better by the day, I'm able to jog again, even to jump. That was impossible a year ago. Despite having hairy legs, I can see some definition for the first time on my quads.
On the floor? That is actually a good idea, because you can start from a resting position (floor)! Will do those! Thank's , good suggestion!I would highly recommend you reconsider this. Dumbbell flyes already put your shoulder at tremendous risk.
Our boy at AthleanX actually had a video on this where he talked about getting too much of a stretch on flyes and injuries to the shoulders. He actually suggests the solution is to do dumbbell flyes lying in the floor. I have been doing this and I think I actually like it.
Awesome mate!!!Shoulders/Legs

Can you share the video I'd like to see it. Last one I seen was the decline fly's he had and I love doing those.I would highly recommend you reconsider this. Dumbbell flyes already put your shoulder at tremendous risk.

I tend to like the deep motion from an incline bench or seated flye machine with pulley, but then I have back issues and gangly volleyball player arms. But since I fractured my T4-T5 this seems like a good idea to try.On the floor? That is actually a good idea, because you can start from a resting position (floor)! Will do those!

Glad to hear your knees are liking your new routine !!Shoulders/Legs

Yeah, the only issue is that if you work out alone, it can be tough to get heavier dumbbells into position. When on a bench you can rest them on your legs and then kick them up...this is less practical when your legs are on the floor. But I started doing them this way just because I saw the video. I used to go for a deep stretch too - not to the floor - but past parallel. I've been doing these with 10 second negatives so I feel much more secure on the floor and able to push a little further.On the floor?

Wish I could take credit for it...Athleanx has great stuff. That guy impresses me.Back feeder + Chest
Nothing out of the ordinary to report.
Tried DB floor flies HIT4ME. Awesome exercise. Did about 7 sets, only 2x30lbs -but never to zero. The burn was awesome!
You can't win then all! At least you showed up!Today was shoulders/Legs.
Not a great workout. Tomorrow is off, going out celebrating wife's bday.
If it is predictable, can it really be debauchery?Will that entail the predictable hairygrandpa debauchery?
As a gift she received flowers. I cut them from her own garden. Took about 20 minutes for her to realize that. LMAO!Will that entail the predictable hairygrandpa debauchery?
Genius!As a gift she received flowers. I cut them from her own garden. Took about 20 minutes for her to realize that. LMAO!
Of course it can... debauchery is quite predictable, and is often planned. It just means excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures, like say planning a night at the hotel with the wife for dat der hotel sex...You can't win then all! At least you showed up!
Hope you and your wife have a great time!
If it is predictable, can it really be debauchery?
Well done, and of course when she realized it you told her she was too beautiful for you to settle for lesser quality flowers than the ones she had grown with her love....As a gift she received flowers. I cut them from her own garden. Took about 20 minutes for her to realize that. LMAO!
Nah, nothing romantic happened. Giving her her own flowers as a gift did not upset her much, she knows me by now.Of course it can... debauchery is quite predictable, and is often planned.

BOOM from Cheap bastard to Super Sweetheart IN ONLY 5 seconds of BULLSHlT!
When my son is at home to take pictures. I'm still not happy with the results to be honest -but I'm never satisfied, it always could be better, right?hairygrandpa, When is the Picture Progress update?
8-10 hours sleep every day. Believe me, its age related when strength and energy fluctuates a lot. Two years ago, with 48, I was hammering out awesome training sessions each workout. Now, most workouts are "okay", some are sh1tty and a very few are awesome. I'm not complaining -but it is what it is. It may hit you too in a few years -but we both will keep fighting!hairygrandpa, are you getting enough rest during the week?

Nice!Wait till you hit 60 !!
I just go with the flow the way My body feels each and every day..I'm glad that I'm training intuitively, meaning, I know what part to train -but I chose the exercises on how I feel. Also no weight goals on how much weight to lift -or how often. If a exercise feels "good", I may hammer out 4-8 sets -or even try to go for a 1-5 reps max weight. If it feels "off", I just do 1-2 sets and shrug it off. Today, flies felt "off", so I did dips and 21's with the incline press machine.
Rocket3015 and BEAST73 , how do you handle it? Have you a training plan with specific exercises, weights used and reps per set -or are you doing it like me, intuitively?
I know I wasnt asked but I'll say I know what bodypart I want to train. I have an idea of which exercise and an idea of how many sets I wanna do. But I let my body tell me how much weight to do each day.I'm glad that I'm training intuitively, meaning, I know what part to train -but I chose the exercises on how I feel.

Yeah, hairygrandpa. As long as I’m moving my muscles it’s a good day.I'm glad that I'm training intuitively, meaning, I know what part to train -but I chose the exercises on how I feel. Also no weight goals on how much weight to lift -or how often., how do you handle it?
I know in advance what muscle groups I will be working on each day, and some evening I will go to the gym and set up my weights for the next day for my worm up/first set, but from there out I do what feels good on that day. Some days I change it totally from what I had set up. So I definitely Go With The Flow. I enjoy my time in the gym (except cardio) so I do what I feel like that day.I'm glad that I'm training intuitively, meaning, I know what part to train -but I chose the exercises on how I feel.

Since my hip decided to say **** you, I have been intuitively training and I must say, I am really enjoying NOT putting so kuch pressure on myself.Good to know I'm not alone. I know a lot of members here who follow strict training plans with progressive overload, pushing limits every workout. This would bore me to death -and I would fall into depressions when I don't met the goals set.
Yes, one loses track of progress -but as one goes to near -or failure, my guess is it gives you gainz anyway. I just hate it to have a training journal that forces me to do certain exercises that are progressively harder to do. It causes kind of anxiety to me.I really have no choice but to train instinctively at the moment. I enjoy training this way but it is not always the easiest way to track progress. I enjoy it much more when I know I can push things harder.
Yes, remember I said the same thing before I went instinctive. Dealing with the injuries I am right now I can't even come close to following a strict program. There would be too many things I couldn't do which would make me feel as if I were failing and that would take the enjoyment out of my workouts. So right now I train for as much enjoyment as I can get out of it while trying to pay attention to how I trained it the last time and either improve or go with a totally different goal or rep range for that body part.Yes, one loses track of progress -but as one goes to near -or failure, my guess is it gives you gainz anyway. I just hate it to have a training journal that forces me to do certain exercises that are progressively harder to do. It causes kind of anxiety to me.
Time for progress pics, will try to take some at night.
