Forum: Over 35 Misc

I haven’t done dumbell flyes in over 20years. I don’t have a bench or dumbells. I used to do them with 40s for 8-10reps, screw that, I think this one should be heavy as hell. I went to gym today and did sets of 5 working up the rack, I ran out of time though to go as heavy as I wanted. I’m...

Yesterday morning at the ripe old age of 56 (and still natty)... GEMNfD7VgCM

Rosalynn Carter, wife of Jimmy Carter and former first lady, dies aged 96 She had a good run and was a great humanitarian. Jimmy is 99 and in hospice care, I expect he will join Rosalynn soon. That's how it goes with close couples a lot of the time.

KCH0NH1tt5k That plume though.. Holy Sh!t..

. A few months ago we had to drop off and pick up a friend at church that had an injury and couldn’t get themselves there. It was like going to the bank at the end of the month. Mostly all old people with some kids that were probably dragged there. The younger and middle aged crowd was...

There's a bill in my state to allow convicted prisoners who are elderly (55+ I think, but that's another thread) to be eligible for a parole hearing even though they were sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. There's a state senator trying to make a name for herself opposing this...

Lifting has been a part of my lifestyle for many decades, it has always been fun, I can’t wait to get up in the morning to get at it and miss it on non lifting days. On that same note, like anything else, if it stops becoming fun, I will stop lifting and move onto funner stuff. (hasn't happened...

Religion, thousands of years of hate...

Was at the store last night and was looking in the health food section, you know the place where they have high protein chips and gluten free Mac and cheese that cost an arm and a leg. I saw these protien bars called Barebells, I bought one and ate it on the drive home. I think it was the...

I was only planning to do 1rep today to give myself a break, but it was so easy I did another. The 2nd rep was not set in the right position, as you can see my body finding position halfway up. FLEX, this was music was better, I waited till the good heavy part before lifting. ...

Free weights have always been the mainstay of my training but have incorporated machines a lot over the years and really enjoy them. Currently away from home for a bit, the hotel gym absolutely sucked as usual, so off to the YMCA it was this morning and boy are they equipped. It’s been a while...

Can't let LWW have all the spotlight, so here goes. Been doing low carb/intermittent fasting since July. Lost 20 lbs of fat without doing any cardio or starving myself. Still kinda sorta strong, I pulled a 505 lb deadlift on Wednesday. hfugZro6cL4

Zen Master Pockets says in my lifting thread that full ROM and good form is some beautiful thing. My analysis is of that is, if your a competitive powerlifter. WTF is the point of satasfying anyone with your ROM and perfect execution of a lift if your lifting for bodybuilding? To me, this...

I woke up last night and thought about this one. I used this loading pin for waddle walks back in the strongman days with like 250#, but never just loaded 400+ and lifted for reps. I'm not sure what to make of it, I definitely felt it in the lats and glutes, it's very easy on the low back,...

Thank all of you and your families for the sacrifices. You are never forgotten.

Well Done! Thanks for everything..

The House has Censured Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, accusing her of calling for the destruction of Israel. I don't what this means and I don't care, but I've always thought this lady is very dangerous. While Pockets has a hard-on for posting threads about Margie, he's...

Look at this FELLAs! Sometimes these little nags are a good thing as they bring new ideas. First time EVER doing this and easily did 133 x 5. This actually feels smoother than the traditional way. Also different hand positions is a way to prevent tennis elbow (I think that's what I got). ...

I’m supposedly asking for a wrist injury and yeah Ive got some little nagging things, but that’s nothing. The next time me or you wanna cry about our little nags, just think what this dude went threw and still had to lift and wrestle after this- Hulk Hogan, one tough dude, it’s a mindset!!!...
