This Week in the O35 (pics/vids)

[Guinea-pig]

I don't mean to de-rail this thread (it's one of the best ones here) but I'm confused. Is this your wife, sargeek? I thought you said it was a stranger? The other thread in the OV35 was deleted.

Concerned member here this has been one of the better threads on the forum lets not ruin it.

Again, not my wife.

If my sarcasm wasn't thick enough in the unnecessary thread; I was being sarcastic with my reply to the question which I already answered (now three times) in this thread.



I take it I'm the only weird guy who doesn't just walk up to random women and ask them to be my wife? Is that what you guys do? Or is every person BUT me in the OV35 married.......none of you are dating anyone?



Not my wife, we have been dating for a while now.

Next time I'll be sure to photoshop her out of any pics I post either on my profile here or here in this thread to avoid any further confusion.

[nvrstopworking]

Well now I feel bad for even mentioning anything in the first place.....

Certainly didn't mean anything by it Sarge. I'm not married either btw.

I didn't mean anything by it, sar. I was just confused is all. No need to get so upset, bro.
This will be the end of it. I don't want to ruin this thread. My apologies.

Have been shamed in my journal for not showing progress pics tho I'm 7 wks out from show. Not copping out or make excuses; simply don't do them. Couple of my younger buds (they're in their 40s and I'm 72) were clowning around today at the gym in one of the classrooms. Asked one to snap a few pics for my album just to prove I'm real. Admittedly, left my shirt on as am sure no one wants to see a grandfather type hairy beast. Yeah, am not as dialed in, cut or ripped as I hope to be in on stage in 7 wks, but my progress is at best slow.

Awesome! So you're doing the Texas State? If so, I'll see you there

Man, you look great. If I saw you on the street, I'd put you at least 10yrs younger.....we may need to see proof of age

Bob- Guys like you and Larry are huge inspirations to me (and I have no doubt countless others), and I am really pleased that the two of you are participating in this thread.

I for one just want to say, thanks!

Two way street Steve, the chance to keep on learning and feeding from the motivational trough filled by guys like you and many others here, keep us geezers going. So thank all of you.

At 72 you have every right to tell them youngsters to get the phuck off your lawn err uhh I mean out of your journal! Seriously impressed here!

Me today --- I took a vid of some presses which I wasn't happy with, but I couldn't help myself taking this screen cap. 51 and about 176 here
I know I need more definition but I thought that I could finally see some mass on my chest after all the ops ( I really can't bench press at all any more so my chest has been a weak spot for a few years now))

Well it looks a lot better than mine

[tobymax123]

Man, I wish I could quote and give kudos and reps to everyone individually who has posted pics... That's what it's all about. And Sargeek, the gal you're dating is beautiful and looks to be in great shape.

Today I did a rare arm workout. Nothing but biceps, triceps and forearms. If I just do that once every 6-8 weeks, it doesn't bother my elbows or wrists. So I got one of those big ol' arm pumps, and when I changed clothes afterwards this shirt that is normally kinda big on me was tight in the upper arms. First time one of these "business casual" button-up shirts in size medium was tight on my arms. So of course I took a pic. Despite not doing dedicated arm days very often, I was able to increase the weights on all of the exercises by 5 to 10 pounds, which was more weight than I had ever used for arms.

Yeah, the sleeve is kinda pushed up... it normally hangs loose.

Lookin' strong. Would've guessed you were at least 25lbs heavier! GJ!

Wow, you look 50 something

[fittofattofit]

Ops are hell...good to still be at it..!

BTW...the look on your face is as if youre standing there listing to The Ranga spin another bullshyte yarn!

Thanks Yak!
The look on my face was because I had my phone standing on the cross bar of the rack and I though it was about to fall off!

Andrew, i can see the fullness, and your arms look pumped as hella too.

Thanks Alex!

Well it looks a lot better than mine

But you're only 3 months after having a saw through your chest! Muscle memory will do wonders and I'd be delighted if I could build half the chest mass you've got in your avi

Guys like yourself , Yak and ljimd at 61, 65 and 72 are inspirational. Getting on the stage is a great achievement in itself IMO but bringing the physiques that you guys have gives me hope that I can still improve and maybe even get on the stage myself at some stage

that's a great pic - arms and forearms are looking huge and you're looking lean. I'm sure you got plenty of favourable comments at work!

Looking thicker in the upper body Houston, I'm sure you and your coach will get it dialed in where you want it by show time. Stay strong.

Arms, the whole upper body is looking thick, great job.

[Lou1se]

I called my hubby over to see your pic, he says - What is he..late 40's?

Big arms/shoulders and no surprise, you're in top physical shape!

Don't assume we aren't interested in what's under that shirt

I remember a story you told some time ago in your journal. You were at a pool with family, there were a bunch of young guys and their gals there too. Your grandaughter asks why you were the only one without a shirt..
