    Here is the “first” article they refer to. It contains lots of nice background info about tendons in general before discussing specific knee tendon issues.

    Hope you’ve been doing okay.

    Reps on spread, but thanks HGC. I've been using the Hammer Strength machines at the gym, and I REALLY like the two row (horizontal and vertical) machines. The mind/muscle connection is easy to achieve, and a slow, deliberate eccentric portion of the rep is easy too.

    It's been crazy warm around here (record high of 69 yesterday ), so I've still been able to ride my bike and today the odometer that I zeroed out on Jan 1 just turned 1500 miles after today's ride.

    I've eaten too much junk food during the many parties with TWO more this weekend. Not trying to be funny, but I found a way to deal with the weight gain . . . I don't get on the scale But seriously, I don't need the scale to tell me that I'm heavier than I want to be. So what I do is just cut back until I'm close to my goal weight and then I weigh.

    Howdy there Payton. Glad to see that you are still pounding it out in here. Just reading your last response, it looks like you and I have the same approach when dealing with the scale. I accidentally got on the scale three days ago and whoa! I've got some serious dietary adjustments to do. I'm officially 10 pounds heavier than I was in July. Oh well, my plan is to get it under control in the New Year and enjoy one more week of gluttony.

    LOL. If you're a Mon-Fri working stiff like me, then you'll probably find this routine schedule easier to stick to a diet (at least easier for 5/7ths of the week ). Believe it or not, I have TWO more Christmas parties to go to this weekend.

    LOL. 2019 was good. I hurt my shoulder in September but it's healing slooooowly. My attitude is good. While there are some awesome exercises that I can no longer do, I'm still able to do at least one or more exercises for every major bodypart. I am liking the hammer strength exercises well enough that I'm actually joining my wife's gym tomorrow. It's . . . uh . . . ahem . . . it's Planet Fitness (no hate ). I've been going with her as her guest since she has the black card, but I'm getting the cheap $10/month card so that I can go whenever I want.

    Happy new year to all on bb.com and let's ring in the new year (and decade) with lots of awesomeness in the gym

    Weather has been nice, just had back surgery so no bike riding, but am getting some longer walks in.

    Where about in Indiana are you, I am in the West Noblesville are.

    I live across the river from Louisville. My wife and I both grew up there.

    Walking is great exercise. I walked 1200 miles a few years ago mostly during lunch (Louisville and Jeffersonville converted a train bridge to a walking bridge that's VERY popular) and some on the weekends. My cholesterol numbers NEVER looked better!!!

    I went to the gym today (yep, Jan 1). It was a bit more crowded than usual but it wasn't CrAzY.

    My arm continues to get better, and I used 60# DBs for seated OHP (60's x 8-10 . . . I honestly don't remember which).

    My shoulder is temperamental. I know that I can use the hammer strength without pain, but I was able to do chin-ups (BWx14 IIRC). I had been only to do pull-ups, and when I tried a set of pull-ups, my shoulder did hurt If I have to have the occasional aches and pains as I age, I won't complain (much ) as long as I can find at least one quality exercise for my major body parts.

    That's a heavy dumbbell lift! Strange about the pull-ups and shoulder pain, especially if you can still do the OHP. I wouldn't be able to figure out the mechanics of that one.

    Started 2020 off SICK! My wife and I both have a stomach bug. I noticed it yesterday ~noon, but I'm already starting to feel a bit better. I stayed home from work today (I probably miss fewer than 3 days each year) and I'll stay home tomorrow too . . . although I was going to take the afternoon off as I will often do on Fridays to eat up my unused vacation days. My wife and I have both joked that the stomach bug is helping each of us reach our 2020 weightloss goals I haven't weighed in quite a while, but I'm sure that I'm within a few pounds of my preferred 172-173 weight. I look better at high 160's, but that takes more effort

    Felt well enough to go to the gym today, and there was both good and bad news:

    Good news: I was able to incline dumbbell bench with nearly no arm pain. This is the first time since I injured it mid-Sept.

    Bad News: My previous 3-sets with the 75's was typically 15, 15, 15 or perhaps 15, 14, 13 but today it was 13, 10, 8. I'll take it considering that I've been sick for the last two days.

    More good news, I was able to repeat chin-ups pain free. More bad news, I weighed 176.4 lbs this morning AND that was after being sick for 2-3 days. I REALLY(!!!) overate during the holidays. Still, being 4 lbs (arguably) overweight beats the 40 or more pounds so many of the new years resolutioners are staring at after ignoring their health for so long.

    I have decided on a new years resolution myself: to quit texting and driving. I know that it's dumb, Dumb, DUMB, but so much of my driving is done in the country with the "less traveled" roads, but that's no excuse. I'm going to find an app that MAKES me compliant

    Bad News: My previous 3-sets with the 75's was typically 15, 15, 15 or perhaps 15, 14, 13 but today it was 13, 10, 8. I'll take it considering that I've been sick for the last two days.

    More good news, I was able to repeat chin-ups pain free. More bad news, I weighed 176.4 lbs this morning AND that was after being sick for 2-3 days. I REALLY(!!!) overate during the holidays. Still, being 4 lbs (arguably) overweight beats the 40 or more pounds so many of the new years resolutioners are staring at after ignoring their health for so long.

    I have decided on a new years resolution myself: to quit texting and driving. I know that it's dumb, Dumb, DUMB, but so much of my driving is done in the country with the "less traveled" roads, but that's no excuse. I'm going to find an app that MAKES me compliant
    The good news is good, the bad news ain't that bad, and the texting while driving is downright scary. Please don't! Some of those "less traveled" roads are also the most dangerous. This I know firsthand.

    Thanks Dave. I just downloaded the Lifesaver app that's supposedly passive and will automatically lock my phone when I'm driving.

    I've been debating on my goal for 2020. It became clear to me as I took my first bike ride for 2020 (48F but windy). I had considered another run at bulk and cut but then realized how much I enjoy biking and enjoy looking leanER (nothing stupid, but just to move the needle down a few pounds for 2020). So my goals are to exceed my 2019 mileage of just over 1500 miles AND to keep my Fri morning weight <169. I'll still let my eating slide on weekends and tighten things up Mon-Thurs so Friday is always my lightest day of the year.

    I want to continue my pattern of eating more oatmeal and beans to replace some of the red meat that I was eating in hopes of getting my LDL down. I'm also going to really cut back on sweets on the weekend. Just because I might relax on the volume of food, that doesn't mean that I have radically change the quality of food either. My wife bought a fruit tray at the grocery recently, and the combination of good grapes and blueberries were really just about as good as any piece of cake or pie.

    Of course, I'll still be lifting every 3rd day or so, and my wife volunteered that we raise our working out together from 10X per month to 11X per month. Now that I'm a PF "regular" card member, my 19 year old son can be the guest of my wife since she's a black card member so maybe I can strongarm him into lifting with his old man. He is a regular lifter himself (keeps a journal and everything), but he just prefers to lift by himself. But I gotta believe that it'll be nice for him to publicly dominate me on all exercises (except for pullups ). He's ~1" shorter than me, outweighs me by 25 lbs, and his wrist must be 3/8" to 1/2" bigger than mine. In short, he's simply a bigger version of me

    Hi Mark, your statement above is exactly how I have been doing it my entire 3 years since I started exercising and eating better. I relax a little over the weekend and enjoy eating with the family and then more strict during the week. My weight is usually up a little on Mon & Tue and then comes down through the week. I don't know if it is the best approach but it works for me and is very sustainable. I still log my average weight for the whole week so those heavy days get counted but I only focus on the average moving up or down.

    I agree! I am still amazed at times how good a piece of fruit can taste when you don't eat many processed sweet things. My favorite is kiwi - delicious when they are ripe and in season.

    Since I don't eat much normal desert another thing that surprises me is how good some of my greek yogurt tastes. Some of the 80 calorie "Light & Fit" greek yogurts taste amazing and the toasted marshmellow is basically a desert to me but has 12G of protein and 0G of fat!
    Bodybuilding is much more than an hour in the gym a few days a week---it's a lifestyle that changes all your perceptions about how to live, eat, and rest. It feeds the mind as much (and sometimes more so) than the body.

    LOL. I do the grocery shopping for my mom and I bought her some TODAY. After playing cards with her I asked if I could have one of her greek yogurts I bought one flavor called "cheesecake" but I ate the strawberry one (delicious!).

    Toasted Marshmallow is my favorite but every flavor I have tried is very good!

    I prefer the strawberry too.

    As for fresh fruit, I'm finding that some grapes, particularly the green ones, can be too sweet. I don't know if that's my tastes changing or if the fruit is actually being bred for more sugar.

    Your 2020 goals sound good Payton. It's funny, I look at "bulking" more as just letting my diet slide for a while... Finally saw the scale move down 2 lbs this weekend since last weekend. The calories were in the green four days last week I think so that helps. As fun as it is to get a little bit of added strength from the extra weight, I still prefer to look lean, like you. Also, like you, I tend to let the diet go on the weekends and buckle down during the week. I was laughing about your comments about your son. When my son is your son's age I will be 59. Right now we are still trying to get him to sleep through the night...

    I'm still working out and wanted to relay something I observed. My workouts are maintenance based and almost always the same: pair a push with a pull then legs. My pull is always pull-ups and my push alternates between incline DB press and (usually) DB shoulder press done while seated on a VERY HIGH sloped bench. Not sure why but on the last workout the bench was high but not as high as normal (probably just one maybe two "pins" or settings from my normal setting), and yet I didn't adjust it higher since it was to be a shoulder workout.

    The workout went as expected and then the next day I feel a soreness in my chest that I typically don't feel. I'm sure that it's due to the setting being different.

    This makes me wonder if I should perhaps be more purposeful in adjusting the bench with either entire workouts dedicated to a different setting or perhaps just adjusting intra-workout running the whole range from my lowest incline setting incrementally going up uptil I hit the highest setting for my shoulders.

    It doesn't take much change for your muscles to feel it. A little switchup from time to time might be a good thing. You still get the same basic stress, but it can help keep things from going stale. I've been thinking about doing certain minor changes as well. So far it's mostly just been foot height on my pushups, but I might want to experiment with grip widths, etc.

    You may be seeing the equivalent of switching between a high bar squat and the low bar version, or it might be even more minor than that, but either way it won't be an issue. If you want to experiment with the slope settings, you might learn something interesting!

    Tom,

    I'm honored that your first post in 2.5 YEARS(!!!) was to me I hope that you're still hittin' the weights as well (but I know that you are ). Andrew quit posting about a year or so ago, but I'm sure that the man from down under is still as active as ever, too.

    My son is 19 now and lifts with me. He's got me on pressing exercises by ~10%, but I kill him in pull-ups.

    BTW, I'm a grandpa now. My daughter named her "Payton" too which makes me think that we must have been decent parents anyway

    Wishing you the very best. Check in anytime you want.

    good stuff, my man. sounds like life is being very kind to you. yeah, been hitting the weights very hard; doubt that will ever change, though my fitness goals have changed somewhat....been doing crossfit, which doesn't get much love around these parts.

    hope andrew is ok. i think of you guys often.

    hope andrew is ok. i think of you guys often.
    I don't do any of those type workouts anymore, but I've done several and I like them. Previously, I was a lifter who biked, but now I'm a biker who lifts. Let's be honest, I hit my genetic limit years ago. So now, unashamedly, I get to the gym every two or three days and do three hard pushing exercises superset with three sets of chin-ups and then legs of some sorts. Last night's workout was:

    Incline DB Bench
    70's x 15
    70's x 13
    70's x 11

    superset with Chin-ups
    BW x 16
    BW x 15
    BW x 13

    We had to cut our workout short as Sat @ 8:00 is when my son and I watch some 40's & 50's monster B-movies that's broadcast from Chicgago (Svengoolie) that he likes. I did 11 miles on my bike through the hills around where i live yesterday (today too), so I didn't mind skipping legs last night.

    Throw me a bone here, Tom. Give me some recent kick-@$$ set or Crossfit workout you've done recently

    I think we all evolve into something different as we go. I remember when I was big into strength sports that I thought anything over 800m was a long run. I think that's hilarious that I thought that way now.

    Your chin-ups are awesome.

    I personally do the same routine for a couple months and then switch up a few of the exercises and do that routine for the next few months. You could adjust the bench angle setting occasionally and it might be a good idea but also not necessary. But I personally would not switch it up within the workout or even go back and forth constantly but that's just me. I prefer to keep the same exercise for a while to use some progressive overload and that may only be a few reps more over a couple months but it is progress!

    I updated my journal with my recent blood screening results if you care to check it out. I know last year it was interesting to compare notes...
    Bodybuilding is much more than an hour in the gym a few days a week---it's a lifestyle that changes all your perceptions about how to live, eat, and rest. It feeds the mind as much (and sometimes more so) than the body.
