I wish I had some big numbers to post in my journal but I don't do big numbers anymore.

How's that knee coming along?

Wouldn't worry about numbers all the time, but consistency :-)

Slowly but surely. Rehabbing that, my left deltoid, and left forearm (tennis elbow) currently.

This. Consistent diet and consistent gym time. Numbers are overrated.

I cancelled a trip to Costa Rica, just for the show.

Trying to get my friend from the gym to ride up with me. The SO won't go, that much I know.

Do you have a link again for the show to save me some time looking it again, or the show name, i was looking thru the journal to find it.

Good to hear.

You are 100% right about consistency. I don't worry about numbers any more, as I had my time, albeit a long fucking time ago. Damn i'll stop now.

Anyways, here is me 43 years ago when I started this love of iron, sweaty pits and all. I wasn't always consistent.

I quit OLY lifting when doing a snatch and it dropped on my head. That's how I ended up so short. So I turned to PowerLifting and at 145lbs. was benching 385 in competition and 490 bouncing off me chest.

I get that. Like I don't have the words to describe how badly I want to pull 225 off the floor. It may or may not happen with my back and hip issues. Does't stop me from improving every which way and giving every day my best with diet and exercise, whether or not I get there.

We have our esteemed Hammer, the head of the master's forum, who was pulling big numbers but... age isn't on our side anymore. Be careful.

I feel more accomplished doing 150b tricep pushdowns for max reps then a deadlift.

I got 42 reps two weeks ago!!

I have to agree with you there. When I nailed skulls at 65 x 15 a while back it felt awesome.

And why isn't this in our Member PR thread?

I get ridiculed everyday by my customers. I can't take no more.

Those monsters we have on here in our forum would laugh at those numbers. So do I, and myself.

A PR is a PR. Just sayin'.

If Curt posted up a bench at 95 for 1 or 12 or 20 reps or at any lesser weight and it was a PR we'd all cheer and not out of ridicule. Might not be the same when you've lifted MUCH more as a youngster. To me it is that much more impressive to PR at any lift when you're over 40.
