A freakishly strong buddy of mine, who happens to be about 345, loves to do OH presses (pro strongman). I once "spotted" him doing seated OH presses with a steel log. The last set he did 600 lbs...

As a 42 yr old high school wrestling coach, I can tell you they all know about the "old man strength". I'm about 180, and our 160 pounder is an all american wrestler....he hates wrestling me because...

No one ever asks me to help them calculate a complicated mathematics equation...which I could do....BUT they always look to me when it's time to move some HEAVY crap!!! At least they are noticing my...

I've trained him gradually for a few years to make sure he would be ready to lift correctly when the time came...well it's here and he's benching over 300, squatting and deadlifting in the mid 400's....

I also push myself to stay one step ahead of my son. The problem is, even though I consider myself to be an elite athlete, my 15 year old son is passing me up!!! I just wish I had his physical...

Hey now! Let's not all get sensitive here! lol
I've used both grips on the front squats, I just PREFER the clean grip. They both get the job done the same way, we just have to go with what work...

The crossed arm grip seems too unstable...the bar tends to dip one way or another too often. The clean grip seems to allow me to drop my arse to the floor while maintaining proper back position. I...

What's this "workout partner" you speak of? I haven't had a workout partner in well over ten years. I'd love to have one, but my work schedule combined with my home life doesn't seem to jive with...

Stand up straight boy! lol
I agree that posture is a factor. At your age you are growing quickly, so any postural problems can possibly affect your structural growth...stay upright, stick out that...

As much as I've read about high reps and age...your results are impossible to argue with! Great job Sup!!!
What kind of rep/set scheme do you use? I'm not sure what "high" reps are...coming from...

We're definitely on the same page!

I think it's better to hit moderately heavy weights rather than max effort weights as we age. As for high reps light weights...as we get older our joints are more susceptible to overuse injury. ...

I went into the competition post-shoulder-surgery. Not at my strongest by far, I was benching about 325 raw at 181 bodyweight. It wasn't a strength issue as much as a stability issue. I was able...

I'm semi-retiring from powerlifting now, and have a big pile of bench shirts, etc. left over. I may end up using them on occasion for "heavy" days. I was able to get almost 100 lbs. extra on my...

I think you can use the shirt in your training, but I also think a fairly loose poly shirt might be your best bet. The shirt really takes the stress off of the joints, but canvas might be a bit...

I think even with "bolt-on-boobs" you could do front squats if you use a "clean" grip instead of crossed grip. Of course, you might have to go a wee bit lighter...which means more reps...yikes!

Thanks Jack, I'm actually not doing regular squats right now, so it's fs only! Then I hit other leg exercises. I think I could go quite a bit heavier if I wore my belt, to make sure I don't round my...

The Smith if fine, but I avoid it. I squat not only for the benefits to my legs, but also for my core. The Smith does nothing for my core. If you rely on the Smith for your squatting you will end...

"Ours test if they have a "reason" to or if you wreck a vehicle."

That's pretty standard I believe in the fire service. I don't think they give a rat's ass about bodybuilding drugs, but I've seen...

What drugs are you wondering about?
If you're an illegal drug user, I'd prefer you not be in "the business".
