    50 year old former competitor (bodybuilding, powerlifting, and olympic lifting), who will turn 51 in July and looking at competing in either masters mens physique and or masters bodybuilding. Started on 2/27/2012 @ 195.5 and 12.5 %....down to 184.5 and 8.5% as of 5/29/2012. Looking at a show in Wichita at the end of July and the Warrior Classic in August in Colorado. Biggest drawback, in 2000, underwent abdominal surgery, so I ended up with a nastly looking scar (but found out the other night that I can easily conceal with makeup) but dealing with a small hernia that I have to figure out what to do with.

    Default Another Squatting session pic.

    I like this movement. Using the SSQTBAR, you can utilize a more upright oly style squat. Combining the bands, you get a nice deload at the bottom, and a nice increase in load as you ascend to the top position.

    Default 6/14/12 Shoulders and tris

    Felt weak as shit, but bodyfat is dropping and I have no major aches and pains right now (just the usual) Another thing, Physique and or Bodybuilding is truly about the illusion.

    * done as a giant set with 1 min between rounds....4 rounds
    BN snatch grip OHP 65/12,10 70/9 (be very careful with these...press with constant tension and lower to ear level. This is not a snatch grip push press) 1 min between

    Bilateral tricep pressdown using dual pulley system with 3 second eccentric 50/9,8,8,8 with 1 min. between
    Close grip Bench Press with slingshot 135/15 225/10 250/10 275/5 2 mins between

    Default 6/15/12 Legs at NTC

    Injured my lower back this morning working with a client. This happens every few months. Have to baby it for awhile or it will not heal up. I have 4-5 bad disks (lost count) so this is something I just deal with. Bring on the ice/heat/motrin! Because of f'd lower back, no vertical loading on spine!

    Cybex leverage leg press 4 plates x 50 8 plates x 40 12 plates x 25 14 plates x 12 with 3 mins between
    Cybex seated leg curls 110/15 120/13 130/10 140/6 drop set....90/10 all with 1.5 min between
    1. Cybex horizontal leg press w/3 sec eccentric 210/15 250/15 300/15
    2. Cybex hip abduction 110/15 x 3
    3. Cybex hip adduction 110/15.....this three done as a giant set with 3 rounds performed at 2 mins break between...really liked this rotation, got to kill the legs without killing lower back anymore today.

    tonight....60 mins lifecycle
