This Week in the O35 (pics/vids)

Thats cause you are the MYTH!

I agree completely with the above bolded. I will just say for myself, eating right (to lose or gain) has never been instinctual. I fail miserably at at. There are a few guys on here, you and BodyHard that I can think of that built and maintained great physiques without planning and tracking. You guys are the few though. I wish I was capable of doing it too....but I know that for me, the best gains come when I plan and track.

I am sure you will re-define what post op recovery looks like. Cant wait to see it!

I am with you on that bolded point. Couldn't have lost weight or stuck with my training without seeing it on paper/digital media.

@ 194.2 tonight. A few cheats this week, peanut butter pie, too many beers, not happy about it. Lots of temptation lately and I leave for the beach in a week. Lots of partying planned for this weekend too, fml. Today's numbers 2,474 calories, 249P/224C/67F.

WTF another Cmoore? You guys are killing it!

Hardly ground breaking for most, but this is a vid of me exceeding my 225 goal for last Wednesday. The lift is 230 lbs. Proud of it!

That looked easy for you man.

Well with low test and a bad heart I dont feel so special.

This is me 11 weeks after. Sorry my camera sucks its a blackberry so its like 2mp.

Cant say I ever watched it or care to. It was tough at times but really not so bad. Not as bad as people make it out to be.

It really is a fascinating procedure. I'm not in the medical field, but my best life long friend is and in college I went to "observe" with him. Pretty amazing, especially when you're getting a play by play.

Again, congrats on your recovery.

Mine took 14 hours would die of boredom watching it. Guess I was a train wreck inside and my metabolism was so fast they had a hard time keeping me under.

Killer stuff in here as usual. Keep it up everyone!

Damn man, makes my 110 pound DB flat bench look like nothing. Nice, and kudos for not throwing/dropping the weight like some of the douche bags in my gym.

[highiso]

@ 191.8 lbs. after today's shoulder, bi workout. Did some cmoore inspired 75 lb. dumb bell hammers for 8 each. Did 90 lbs. the set prior for 6 each but no pics, so it didn't happen.

My boy ChickenPauk hit a PR on deads but I'll let him tell you about that.

Good day for a not so motivated Friday - Got 375 deadlift today for my personal best. Previously, was at 350. No pics or vid - so I also get that it didn't happen I ran a several week program, so it was nice to boost it 25 pounds. Next goal is 400.

My hammers were only 75 for 5 reps, but I'm not ripped like my boy highiso and our other lifting partner behind him -- we'll call him tandycake! Some day, some day!!

I think what I'm happiest about this is I've been working on a slow cut while trying to learn the nutrition -- so increasing strength while dropping some weight is a good thing!!!

Also, it wasn't that long ago I tried my first deadlift and couldn't move right for a week or so due to weak back / bad form or whatever it was....and that was with 135 pounds. So, I dropped it to 95 to learn form and reps and been building up since. I think I tried my first deadlift in early April? Maybe late March....

****, I just realized I can't post pics anyway until I get 50 posts, so I'm assuming I can't post vids....guess I'm off the hook then ?

[NorwichGrad]

Just experimenting with different positions. Snatched up to 154-lbs.

[DocHoss]

Hardly ground breaking for most, but this is a vid of me exceeding my 225 goal for last Wednesday. The lift is 230 lbs. Proud of it!

I'm proud of you too! I am SO looking forward to doing that myself. It's not happening anytime soon. But it WILL happen.

Jeez..... prepare to be gawked at at the beach lol.... heck of a job!

^^^this^^^

It is funny though....when you realize just how easy it can be to control your body comp, it is almost hard to believe.

I wouldn't call it EASY, at least not for me. But without tracking it's next to impossible.

Killer stuff in here as usual. Keep it up everyone!

Wow. Great job! I think I can roll those across the floor. Maybe.

Good job!! I'm totally awed by that pace of progress. I'm delighted if I can add 5 lbs a week. I'm gunning for 290 on Sunday.

Cool stuff! I saw someone snatching in real life for the first time last week. Not sure when I'll try it, but I am enjoying clean & jerks.

Feeling great this week on my gains, but than I'm biased. LOL

It actually has been good for my arrogant hide to get knocked down about 100 pegs....

Oh man this means a great deal to me, thank you very much!

I think your feet should be farther apart and your toes pointed out so you're sitting down between your knees. That should take your knees out of the equation and you'll really be able to get the feel of driving the weight up by thusting your hips forward. Just my $.02.

Honest I would never have guessed you are anywhere close to 56 years old.

I was just getting ready to say that

Dont worry it has a lot of air left in the tire.

thanks man but honestly my knees feel pretty darn good. I am constantly checking in trying to improve my form so any tips are appreciated.

My trainer just showed me that move, in the same consideration as you just demoed!

Nice work on the 230. I am not sure what your goals are overall but 5/3/1 has done wonders for my squats.

Well with low test and a bad heart I dont feel so special.

The muscle still seems to be there. You'll get back to where you were

Those are collecting dust in my gym. They are rolled in the same corner as when I joined my new gym a year ago. Impressive

Great pic. Nicely done

Making solid gains
