Mike ,

Just noticed this

I don't do legs

LOL

Leg day sucks doesn't it ? Sometimes anyway.

Keep up the good work, those of us not as young as the rest of the members have to show them young whips a thing or two.

Gary

Posted by: Mike51

Thanks Gary

yesterdays leg day wasnt so bad... did more on some and less on others and I can walk today (not only walk...but sit down and stand up by myself)

been reading your journal....very nice numbers your doing....

Posted by: Mike51

trust me

the weight will never be high when I squat.

ok it was under 100 but higher than 50

Posted by: gwcaton

Mike ,

Do you work out at home or at a gym ?

Have you seen the squat weights in my journal? Odds are you're doing more than that.

Posted by: Mike51

Gary I work out at home in the garage (no squat rack)

Monolith I checked

your doing more than me

I just started doing squats a few weeks ago...so I know it will take some time to get into it and I'm just having fun right now.

Have you ever tried lunges ? They are brutual and don't require a lot of weight.

Posted by: Mike51

did those way back when and didnt think of doing them now...thanks Gary

I'll have to work them in

Mike ,
I was reading your journal yesterday and was going to ask how the squat thingies were going . Looks like they are going good ! Better than mine !

Posted by: Mike51

naw not really

I bought a new bench with one of those built in squat racks so I'm pushing my luck I think. its so much easier with one of those instead of picking the weights off the floor

who knew ???

I'll go out later tonight and see if I can finish some of this workout........but the good news is my blood pressure is down to 128/70

Posted by: gwcaton

Mike,

You got BP problems ? I did until i started working out and changed my diet. My tryglycerides were off the chart, cholesterol high , etc etc . Lost 40 lbs and no more high Bp , no more high cholesterol, tryglycerides are perfect ! And I'm damn cute too ! LOL

Posted by: Mike51

yeah last year during my physical they took it 3 times...this year it was down a bit but the damn doc (cute girl by the way ) said they were gonna put me on a "little white pill" not a blue one but white

so yesterday after some blood work I had it checked and it was 128/70...so I was happy...still cant lift worth a damn but I'm happy anyway

Mike,

Looks like you didn't run out of gas this trime. LOL Good job !

Posted by: Mike51

I know

but I like doing higher reps on these...I feel it so much more, so I guess I'll have to do lower weight with higher reps one week then higher weight (ok at least for me

) with lower reps the next......now all I have to do is remember all that

I've been thinking about going high reps on squats . I can't really go as heavy as i think i should be able to because of my back and, like you , I don't think I get as much out of them at heavy weights. Must do some research. Might do a leg priority type wo after this "bulk".

Posted by: Mike51

(squats) for sure cant go as heavy with higher reps as I'd like...so for now I think I'll mainly stick with low to mid 100's and see what I can get for at least 20 reps and increase from there. but I will work in my one or two sad little sets of 195 to 210 every once in awhile

yuo call 2 reps at 195 on an incline poor !

Thats pretty dang good !

How do you do tri pressdowns with your feet ?

Posted by: Mike51

ok

good one gary (damn smart ass

) the foot thing...well I was wearing my slippers when I worked out this morning (nice to work out at home) doing nice slow reps leaning forward just a bit....when my right foot kept slipping on me

so instead of the 8 reps I wanted I got 6 ..... the ouchy factor was going big time.

yeah I wanted at least 5 to 6 reps on the 195 cause in my mind at least I was gonna try and do 2 reps at 205 if I got the 195....but theres always next week

Man, looks like you were being brutal to your legs ! Way to go ! Can you walk ! That was a lot of sets/reps.

Posted by: Mike51

(squats) I think I'll have to up the reps on the 165 for as much as I can ... then if I have anything left over do a few for 200 or more, or throw in a set at 155 for 20 I'll work it around and see what I need to do

my legs were fine .... a bit tight yesterday but no biggie

Hey ! You can't fool and old fooler ! You cut this workout short . what gives? Just cos I get lazy sometimes doesn't mean you can.

No leg extensions ? And now that I think about it( and go back thru your journal ) I don't see any leg curls . you don't do them ?

Posted by: Mike51

ok ok

ya caught me but really I have a good excuse......

I should have mowed on friday...but I had to take my wife to the hosiptal thursday cause she was about 2 pints low and they needed to top her off...so after not getting much sleep that night I paid the ransom and got her out friday afternoon (late friday afternoon) then we spent the rest of that day trying to find out where my stepdaughter was, since she didnt go to work......sat morning we had to take my daughter to the airport to go home to FL....then we stopped at the mall and 300.00 later we left and I didnt mow and it was to hot to workout......so sunday morning I did my workout (cut that short also) then went to post it on here...but my computer died...so I said the hell with it and went down and got all the stuff to build me a new one.....( I had planned on building a new one for awhile but damn I miss that old one

) so a 1,000.00 later I leave CompUSA since nothing else was open on sunday....get home and put all the parts together...get all my programs back in it and it was too late to mow that day...so this morning I mowed and then worked out...and it was hot.........and in between mowing ...working out.....I've been putting more things on this new computer

I promise I'll go out later tonight and finish my workout

Posted by: gwcaton

WoW ! well I guess I'll let it slide ..this time.

Damn for a $1000 you ought to have the mother of all computers !

Oh and glad to hear you ransomed the wife !

I'm guessing you found the step daughter ! Don't you love 'em. I think mine might finally be growing up. At 23 years old you would hope so.

oh it sounds like you've had a hell of a "workout" the past few days so take it easythe rest of the day .

Mike old buddy ! How/where ya been ? I was just about ready to do a search for online newspapers in Id so I could check the obits ! Thought maybe a barbell landed on you or something.

I see you have mastered the triceps pressdown w/o the foot slippage !

Glad to see you are back .

Posted by: Mike51

hey Gary

to save ya some time check the Idaho Statesman obit section

I'll be the one with the pic of DB's sticking out my ears (well I dont know how much time it will save ya theres only like one newspaper in this states anyway).

I've been on the board almost everyday but since I havent worked out in like forever I just havent posted anything, but now I'm back and I know that within just a matter of months I'll be breaking even those high numbers I did today
