Hit 63 yrs old strong jacked & still natty

[charlievanriper]

sucks not being able to make friends these days. I long for the 90's and earlier when people were friendly and interested in each other and wanted to talk to each other. I miss that in today's society or lack of Society.

Thank you Brother I kept the weight low for the carries as I feel it allows much more TUT creating a much higher muscle activation and recruitment. Doing over 100 lbs is impressive but the limited recruitment time is much less

I was really happy the Rep volume did not bother the knee, and Yes that 250 surprised me how easy it was. Pump would have been better if I was leaner lol...

Today Its Tree trimming, I get to play with my New Chainsaw.

Nice work in here!

[charlievanriper]

Nice work in here!

thank you, now to get that 305 clean with no assist bro

[Woody-5]

Monster training day right there! That volume is an absolute killer! How long did that session take you?

Squats looking solid- making that run at 315 soon....

Functional strength is huge and it feels good to translate the training over to something else, be it yard work, climbing a mountain or something else.
