Tnx. I do hacks, reverse hacks, leg press to 800#, one leg press on the lunge machine, ham machine and extensions. Thinking of getting back to squats but in the Smith for safety.

Nice work on the legs, Baldie!

Back to squats. Goal by New Years 225 X 20 bench squats to be sure butt is all the way down.

Day 1. 225 X 6. 6th set. 5 warm up sets.

For me....this is a BIG DEAL. Said I would never do them again.

I will call this squat day. On regular leg day I will continue Leg press, reverse hacks, extensions and ham curls.

SQUATS of any kind are good. I suck at front squats-hurts too much having the bat there, but I like the idea of back squats one session, and front squats the next. Or squat workout one leg day, and Hacks, leg extensions and leg curls the next alA Tom Platz. Sounds like you're on a similar mission. Remember Peter has legs...

[Down4whatever]

WOW....impressive B!!

You're really bringing those legs up nicely! Wish I could say the same for me. Sometimes I wonder if I just wasn't built to have good legs.

[masterschamp]

Awesome job, Bill! legs are looking good, bro

SQUAT, SQUAT, wraps the knees and squat some more!

I stopped squating after I tore my pec.Jan. 2011. I could not get my left shoulder/arm back far enough to hold the bar. I can do that now with a little twinge. Troy Alves observed my upper body belonging on a 220 pound man. I weigh 211 right now with a little water in the lower back....maybe 5 pounds overall. Net 205. I won't be gaining 15 pounds on my pins/glutes no matter what at my age but 10 over the next 11 months is doable. If I can stand 210 on stage conditioned that will be 23 pounds larger than the last show.

I also found that the deep breathing helped with my COPD. A LOT!!!

Impressive wheels at any age.

My arthritis in my neck is flaming....OUCH. Thought I had squat bar low enough on my traps...apparantly not. Actin is a front line inflamation reducer/pain reliever. Hard to find outside of the lab. There are some herbal Actin 'like' remedies which I believe to be total BS. I am looking at Osta Gain (RX sponsor) peptide TB-500.

Hey.....some positive financial news.

I hope that the rising Arizona economy and housing market spreads next year to all 50 states. I hear Texas is starting up also. I want my bros. and sis and their families in here to prosper. Our highways and streets are now buzzing with concrete trucks, dumps and lumber trucks. New projects are starting up all over the Phoenix Valley. Right next door to me (like 1' away) 390 new homes are going up @ $110 sq. ft.

Me too, Baldie...I put 60k down on my house 5 years ago, and right now it's still 30-40k upside down. This was a 325k house, not a big mansion!

Squat day #2 in the book. Because the Smith bar is lighter than the Oly bar I always add and xtra 30 lbs. to start. Again, goal is 20 X 225 by New Year.

135 X 12
185 X 12
205 X 10
225 X 8.......up 2 reps
245 X 6
135 X 12 warmdown

All to 1" below parallel and hold 1001 on bench before push up.

Seated calf work.

My arthritis in neck/traps hurts on a scale of is an 8 on a 10 max. Right shoulder a 6. No NASAIDs due to weak kydneys. Tylanol 650s. Thats it. I have added double MSM/glucosamine/condroitin , my usual 4 x Hyaluronic Acid, now Extract of Olive Leaf and Red Cherry skin Extract. I am doing a series of zero chest/back/delts to let those joints chill. So its legs, arms, off, legs, arms, off, legs, arms, for next 9 days. I have a series of Peptides for arthritis on the way and will also introduce a minimal 100 mg. per week of D%&*. Not enough for much bulking but enough to cool the joints. Pain today is a 5 in neck/traps and 2 in shoulder. YES


Don't y'all just love Bodybuilding?

Hydrotherapy helps too if you can do 20 min showers and have access to a jacuzzi. I used to do that in Ca. D$@" should help too.
