Hope you are feeling better.
As for the goals.......I would happily be your co-pilot for Goal #3. We could work in tandem and journal it in a way that would work for a road map for future old bastards trying to get to the same goal. Would also motivate both of us to stay the course.Home Journal: Me vs. Myself @.....http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=125942203

10,000 calories. I think I'll try to eat that one day just to see what it's like. I bet it makes me sick LOL.
I find I feel best eating right around 2600 to 2800.GST workout Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=626194513&posted=1#post626194513

Ha, I call BS on that one. . Success breeds more success.
There are lots of examples of older guys that have built pretty nice physiques later in life. I think it takes more discipline when older and takes longer but very doable. I do wish I would have woke up earlier and took advantage of my youth but that's the past...
My weight this morning is 199. Goal weight is around 192 ish. Hopefully that translates to at least some mass gain over the last couple months of bulking. Very easy drop for the next 12 weeks training schedule. Cold almost gone. Left over cough so cardio is still hard. We will see how much fatigue I have left this morning.
Today will be my press workout.
Later.

Im pretty sure your incline is steeper than mine so id say 225 is a very stout number. I really think your progress over the last year is far above average for most of the journals I read. Keep up the good work.
Im just plodding along for the long haul. I gotta get at least noticably muscular before my daughter starts to date. Gotta get my bluff in LOL.
Today will be an attempt at a lift day. Cold is still hanging on. Mornings are my worst. I didn't sleep last night as the cough meds just wire me. I think my brain was having at least 3 conversations with itself all night long. Come on pre workout drink, do your magic... :/GST workout Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=626194513&posted=1#post626194513

Lift
Romanian dead lift
135 x 6,6
225 x6
315 x 6,6,6,6 weight stoppedabout3-4" above the floor. Great MMC in glutes, hams and mid to low back. Left upper ham that was giving me trouble had minimal pain today with this ROM. I think these just work better for me. Ill stick with these.
Natural GHRs
BW x 8,8,8,8 Slowly but surly getting better at these. Still a ways off from a complete unassisted rep with these.
calf press
270 x 8,8,6+2 negs,4 Will work to 8 across.
leg extension
165 x 10,10,10,10 Will bump to 170
Decline crunch
55 x 10,10,10,8 failed after 8 reps on the last set. I need to get my abs worked back into a regular schedule.
Overall not a bad day considering NO sleep and a bronchitis hanging on. Ill be glad to get back to my cardio training. I feel sluggish.
Next up... Pull day on Sunday. Maybe a run tomorrow if the lungs feel ok. I don't need a setback.
Food still at 3000 kcal per day. Im trying not to weigh but once per week on Mondays. I only have 6 to 8 pounds to loose so no hurry.

Thanks, me too. Every day is a little better.
Well, RDL feels easier than dead lift even with 90% of the same range of motion. Since I never set the weight down my grip becomes an issue. I could hold 315 for 5 reps but not 6 so I had to strap up. I try to do as much as I can then strap up as to not inhibit why I'm doing them. After all, it's not a primary grip exercise.GST workout Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=626194513&posted=1#post626194513

Feeling better today. So did some cardio.
150 kcal protein with my morning coffee. Skipped my morning carbs as we had a Mexican fiest last night. It definatly was a cheat day. Had a good time though.
Dusted off my mountain bike, 4 mile ride to the track. Met some friends there and jogged and walked some with them for 45 min. Then rode my bike back home. Home rout was mostly up hill and it was windy as Hell Very good quad workout by the end.
Left hamstring tight as hell from yesterday's posterior chain workout. Just one more obstacle to work on.
Tomorrow is pull.GST workout Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=626194513&posted=1#post626194513

I'm definitely not a power lifter but getting stronger is important to gaining mass. I may need to incorporate some direct grip work in the future to bring it up a little.
It seems to help. I always try to give it a go even if too heavy.GST workout Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=626194513&posted=1#post626194513

Cardio
Got up early so just jumped on my elliptical to get the day started.
30 min light cardio for some active recovery. Also some oblique work.
May try for an outside run this afternoon. Depends on how the wheels feel.
