Hey everyone been a long time since I started a post on here I have been spending most of my time on tiktok, I have some funny stories to tell you guys but I gather most of you wont be interested in the them, but just to name some real quick I have been stopped in the streets several times already folks saying "Hey I follow you on tiktok" and they ask to take a picture with me. Its been surreal but you guys know I am an open book. They once stopped Patty and said "Hey you're the wife of the tiktok guy" Patty wasn't too happy about that, you guys know Patty, unlike me, is very private.
I have also been pursued by different companies to endorse their supplements and or workout equipment, I haven't accepted any yet but close to one. As a side note I am earning money while on tiktok not like my daughter who grosses over 100K but I make a good amount of change which isn't bad considering all I am doing is what I love to do. I also been contacted by a TV show that found me on tiktok but I can't talk about it on social media as I signed an NDA, but once I can. I will.
Anyway, to keep this post as the title states here are some pics of me currently at 59, don't mind the dopey glasses.
Hope everyone in the OV35 is well!

Congrats on all of your popularity and success!
What is your tiktok, what type of advice are you giving( mental health or fitness)?
How are the eyes, most important of all?
glad that you are doing well.

ThankS brotha When I started my tiktok was on fitness and mental health, but it is more diversified now. I lost all vision in my right eye and its just a matter of getting used to seeing through one eye.Originally Posted by x-trainer ben

No I actually started upping my reps to close to complete failure on each set. I am also targeting every muscle group twice a week but only doing 2 exercises per body part each workout so a total of 4 exercises per bodypart a week. Sometimes I do 3 exercises depending how I feel, but training to failure is intense.Originally Posted by LWW
Thank you brotha, its by the grace of God that I could continue doing this year in and year out and the thing is most people who know me for years tell me, "This is the biggest I have ever seen you" LOL my BIL told me "John just promise me when you make it you wont wear a dress and put on lipstick"Originally Posted by MajorTendonitis

Looking good Bodyhard!! I logged on for the first time in years to try and find some of my old journals and I barely recognize anyone on here, and I can't find my journals. Hope you and the family are doing good!

Good luck! That sound really cool. I have some friends who do a lot on SM. If that is something you love then go for it! It is not work when doing what you love. Think you have a lot of good to share!

Despite all the fight stories, Bodyhard is very engaging, I've lifted, ate and drank with him a few times. He's also a Yankees fan along with me and JTBNY, that's probably why we get along so well.Originally Posted by induced_drag

We spoke on the phone a few times and I more than sure we would get along just fine IRL.
Funny you should mention fighting, I had a fight (yeah at 59 sadly) months ago and I actually spoke to Sotex about it as we were on the phone. In my defense I helped out a young guy that was being beaten by an older guy. Young guy was like 17 older guy was in his 30's. I fcked up my hand and have a permanent scar on my knuckle now because his teeth cut me when I hit him. I have to admit though he hit me one time and buckled me, I got dizzy fell to one knee and fcked up my knee. I got up quickly and recovered, for a 59 year old I held it down.Originally Posted by Bando
