This Week in the O35 (pics/vids)

fittofattofit, that is incredible. Your entire family is very photogenic. All smiles

Kimm, you look really great. Give us a smile next time

Keep it going, doughnut. You are progressing.

This morning I got out the measuring tape and found that my arms broke the 15" mark, stone cold about an hour after waking. They were 15" a few years ago when I was heavier and less lean, but for the past 3-4 years I felt stuck at 14.75". Much progress has been made since joining my latest new gym in April. I've only done one full-fledged biceps workout in the past 8 months, but have done lots of very lightweight assisted curls while rehabbing my elbow tendinitis, and I've centered my workouts around improving my compound lifts.

PR on DL today, 305 x 2 x 2, in addition to my 275 x 5 x 5. First time I tried anything over 275.

Solid progress. Nice work!

Finally broke my 360lb barrier.

Next up, 4 plates.

Awesome!

So, 10 weeks out tomorrow. Took some pics after the workout this morning....

I believe I'm on track. Happy to see the hamstrings coming in! Glutes will not be far behind.[/QUOTE]

Rockin it. Keep up the great work big man.

Not sure why so dam grainy anyway tickets to the gun show.

You're gonna need a permit for those.

Wow, everyone's looking fantastic! Wish I could comment one by one, but I have trouble keeping up

Took this a couple days ago

Lookin good Lola.

I've got to go back a page or 2 to catch up. I'm still around, but not as much. My shoulder seems to be holding up pretty good. I'm training 3x a week, but hopefully I'll be back to my normal soon.

Couple vids from today:

I think this covers everything...

Have a great weekend everyone!

You need to post more.

back to the grind at work on Monday

Very cool vacation. Safe travels back to the real world.

Got to learn how to separate posts and individually apply comments to each as there are some great pics in here.... Srs gun show going on...
Thanks all for your support and humour so far.. Really grateful.

Grainy phone btw. Also not my best side

Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Good to see the beast work continues.

Mental note: don't stand next to Andrew wearing shorts, because he'll embarrass you! Legs are looking hyooge, but overall you're looking lean. Keep up the good work!

You're looking great Kimm .. you wouldn't know you'd had shoulder problems from looking at that pic: you've got strong looking delts and traps
Nice work on those GHRs and goblet squats as well

Took a same pose as avatar pic today as it is my first pic after 6 months of lifting i thought i would put up this pic. Going away on Friday and plan on getting some vids when i return..

Nice mass after 6 months lifting. You won't know yourself by the time 12 months is up

Great work on overcoming that strain ... of course 'only' 3pps would be a 1RM for me

In other news:

I've been in Bali for the last two weeks and finished with a day of cycling, an elephant safari and some white water rafting
The cycling - 26km
The starting point of the cycle … high in the mountains overlooking Mount Batur volcano.

Very cool! The memories you'll have!

Been awhile since I posted in here.....here is a video of me benching 315 - 12 times, weighing around 258#. Only been lifting for heavy for five weeks, so I have some work to do. Blew out my back four months or so (I walked around like a question mark for three weeks...) and once that became better, slipped in my garage and partially tore my MDL. Have only squatted and deadlifted the bar, too much weight causes to much pain. Hopefully I can jump back in shortly, once i remove the brace.



Best to all.

[Phattso]

^^Very nice, Big Bull. Looking forward to seeing you build it up.

[Phattso]

120 DBs again today with 30 degree incline. Last week got 7, this week 8. I intentionally do not lock out on these because I am bodybuilding and it keep continuous tension.

Excellent lifts. Very humbling to see someone throw my 1RM around like it was nothing. Great job!

Me in philly with a girl far too young and pretty for me yet she seems to like me anyway.

Always the best vascularity I've seen anywhere

Your arm's looking big and you're looking fit and lean

Very cool! The memories you'll have!

Thanks! It was a great trip and there'll be plenty of happy memories

Awesome stuff with 315 x 12 reps. I'd love to get 135 x 12
You made it look easy as well. I hope that you can get back into the heavy squats and deads soon

Great strength Phattso and I love the way you're keeping that tension on the pecs

[doughnutgut]

You are a big fooker.. Huge in fact. compared to pics i seen for a few years back you have made serious progress. Big gains. Great watching your vids of big lifts.

Well played Flex, srs well played.

[litljay]

You guys are all killing it this Summer.

Quick leg shot from last night.

[OutdoorsinCO]

Hey all, been awhile since I posted on here. Things have been a little crazy last few weeks/months. My community went up in a wildfire and we lost 500 homes. Mine was safe but a lot of friends lost theirs. Been busy sifting thru the rubble to help find them something.

Still getting to the gym as much as I can. Recently I did an impromtu mini-strongman competition. There were 8 or 9 people with myself and one other guy being over 35. Everyone else was 25 and under. I placed 3rd out of the event killing some of the times of those youngins! It was a lot of fun for sure


I've also cut down some more weight. I was working 2 jobs 70+hrs and doing a lot of lifting at the other job. Right now sitting at 195...i'm at work so I don't have a good shot to post, I will when I get home.
