Hit 63 yrs old strong jacked & still natty

[charlievanriper]

Great work! can you even lift your arms over your head after all that incline work plus the OH carries? inspiring stuff, I love the dedication.


Will definitely check out the motivational vids later. I've been finding it helpful to listen to those types of podcasts while I lift.






Drunk mostly, lol. kinda fell into a rut after I finished the NH48 peaks. I'm back now and motivation is strong so far

Love it, saw your post this morning Outstanding work and sounds like motivation is high again.

ya those overhead carries have my whole upper shoulder and Traps totally trashed lol. The cool thing though is the weight increases, I want top get 95 for at least 60 yrds and work up to 135 for 40 yrd bursts

Yesterday took Crystal to the mall shopping for her birthday, nice all day event

then today I prepped and grilled one of her favorite meals



Crystal's birthday dinner, yes it was way to hot to grill and cook outside but this is what my gal wanted and what she wants she gets...All Organic and Grassfed beef with a great organic Chimichurri sauce, Skillet sautéed Baby potato's on the grill, grilled baby peppers and jalapenos and an Organic street corn dish. The entire dish cooked outside in my Outdoor kitchen setup one of my grills.

we shared some Prosecco and an amazing Carrot cake with Cream cheese icing for dessert ...

deads and squats coupled together? You like punishment heh

great work, and that 205 trip on the incline is no joke either

sorry to hear about the skin cancer. It's true, there's gonna be a lot of that when people get older with the whole tanning culture.


Food looks on point as always! Do you have formal chef training?

Thx Brother that was a good session yesterday

Food background , no I taught myself. in my early 20's did a stint as a short order cook and saw a desire to cook so I started, then I discovered the ladies loved to have men cook for them..

People don't realize and neither did until after how bad the sun can be. Its just plain foolish to train, hike or just play outdoors without covering up. I even swim now in long sleeves or use a waterproof Mineral based sun screen.

sick work over the weekend!

Hnnggg that 295 squat was badass, way to grind it out! That must have felt like an eternity under the bar, great stuff! Smashing new PRs every session is motivating as hell

I seriously need to pick up another bar and put it in my garage so I can easily hop outside and try those overhead carries.

Glad you had a good weekend my man!
