Hey, my phone has issues with threads full of vids, it crashes, so I only check out you journal thread on the laptop. I replied here cause I was using my phone, that's all.
I check your journal almost everyday, I'll try to reply to the journal instead of here, but I got to be using the laptop, or else all the videos crashes the phone.
I hate these new phones though, too much big brother.

I use them for incline benching with dumbbells ,as I sometimes have rotator pain getting the heavy ones into position .
I removed the nylon cover and use them with the remaining thin steel band only . I have zero issues using this way .
I used hockey tape on them where they rest on the bar though, as it was leaving permanent marks on my new Ohio bars

The bench press is everything. Angry, explosive bench press. Arnold and Lou built their chest mass with bench presses. Enough said

REALLY sad I have to block /ignore so many BUT the great part is if Anyone wants friendship and reaches out to me I will happily unblock them But my history here on bodybuilding.coms forums is a history of most members here hating on me, ignoring me, refusing my attempts reaching out, total lack of support even after I follow them and support them. So my only option has been to Block /Ignore most members.. Again though I always leave it up to YOU reach out your hand in friendship and I will accept it dont and you stay blockedLast edited by charlievanriper; 03-21-2021 at 07:39 PM.

Sorry about the haters. I think you are a great example for the rest of us in the over-60 crew: hitting excellent weights with good form, eating smart, training at home, and even lucky enough to have a supportive workout partner. Heck, if I’d have had a chance when I was out west back in October, I would have driven from Albuquerque to Phoenix just to buy you a beer (or whatever).
At age 64, I've exceeded all my prior PRs. Not “over the hill” yet. :)

and you would be welcome out here anytime. Ya its really only bothered me this last yr or so, but this Bodybuilding forum has never been friendly to me, Maybe its my staunch anti Drug stand or the fact that I give what I get and am Real about my feelings and what I believe and I dont fall into the whole fake who you are to be motivating lol or keep your real feelings hidden crap. I am Not the Standout mr Positive when theres reason to be Not positive lol Tghis industry and sport thrives on Fakeness and Fake positivity lol
