Thank you sir, I do appreciate the kind words. I was going to go up to 70 on the db flat bench but they were all in use so I just went with the 65's.
I've started working out with a new buddy and...

Eight sets of 20 reps man I can't hardly do 4 sets of 20. I'm using what I consider a heavier weight for me @360 lbs. Great work!

I've been out of the powerlifting competitions since I was 23, I'm 57 now. I'm just wondering about what the local guys are lifting in the 165 lb class and up. My weight varies between 165 and 180....

OK, so tonight I went with intentions of working legs, which I did some. Then I think, just from how I feel, I killed a back workout.

Thanks Mac, I've been busting a** since July 1, 2012 and have made some progress, which at my age is good. But I'll always want to do better (except for the weak days,LOL). Much appreciation.

How the heck do you guys stay positive during the diet phase of competition readiness?

That foam roller sounds interesting. Maybe it'll get me out of the chiropracters office. Theyre expensive, but I feel alot better after an adjustment.

I had alot of aggrivation and stress today, so I worked very hard tonight.

Hey Mac, things are going ok, lots of drama, but that makes me work out harder. You know I can beat that steel but I'm the one that feels punished. lol
I'm working on getting larger lats and chest....

I read about "inflamed traps", does that feel like a pulled trap muscle? I went to the chiropracter thinking I needed my neck adjusted. He xrays my neck and says I have arthritus in my neck with bone...

It is somewhat BRIGHT. But if it keeps the Forum free, I can wear sunglasses. lol

Workout went well tonight.

Thanks Hammerfit and Mac, I'm going to be doing things a bit different. Last year I would train abs only a couple of times a week sometimes only once. This year I'm doing pushups, and abs more and...

Everyone tells me "abs are made in the kitchen" ok, but in my mind I'm thinking when you exercise other parts of the body it burns fat in those areas, as well as other places. I still can't wrap my...

My wife and I talked alot on the drive back home and agreed that this year we would consult a nutritionist and have a better more focused plan. I had faint abs, I know that was a part of my problem....

I didn't place, it was the NWArkansas Natural bodybuilding competition. There were 6 in my class (50+) and I came in 6th.
There was a guy with parksans disease and had two difibulators implanted...

Completed my first competition and learned alot, and met alot of really good folks.

Thanks for the advice Hammerfit, no I haven't , but I will, I need those suckers looking right.

weight is 167 and I have 5 weeks till competition

Not much longer, weight at 170.2 Monday. Eating lots and lots of salads, chicken, turkey, and fish.
The muscles are starting to cut fairly nice imo. Still having issues around my waist. I think...

Weight is 172.0 goal is 170 anything after that is gravy. Oh gravy, I think I'll have gravy on my hamburger/pizza when this is all over in June. lol

I had a whey drink (with water) before workout and did ok.

Great looking workouts, some day I'll quit trying to ego lift and train smart and get up there with ya'll weight wise. Right now I just feel like fluff. Looks good but I would like for the looks and...

Hey Mac, I've been kinda busy getting ready for the Northwest Arkansas. My first competition. Glad to see your Dad is ok. I miss my Dad. Anyway enjoy him while you can.
