On the other hand, maybe I'm just boring as hell

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.............to be 22 again

However......when you are 22 you think you know everything but really you don't know "jack"

You just can eat as much as you want without putting on weight and recover from drinking MUCH FASTER ...haha

JerseyDevil · 07-06-2006, 08:32 PM

I've tried working out after doing other chores and the workouts were basically horrible. Now I go first thing in the morning, before I'm tempted to do anything else.

Archangel · 07-08-2006, 01:53 PM

That was an excellent w/o Brother JD!!! I agree with the slower rep cadence, can really DESTROY you in a GOOD way!!! I'm with ya also on the am w/o's, HIT it hard first thing, and then take on the rest of the day!!!Hope your weekend goes as you want it to my Friend!!!

JerseyDevil · 07-08-2006, 07:52 PM

Mike: Good to see you in here my friend!

TT: Yeah, I know that is the way I should do it, but sometimes I get overidden by the 'boss'

Arch: I'm going to have to explore the slower reps more. I tend to like it more with so called isolation exercises, but for compound movements I still like the more conventional rep.

JerseyDevil · 07-09-2006, 06:08 PM

I usually do more tricep work, but had to cut this wo short. I'm a little bit discouraged with my lack of progress, but am getting slowly stronger each wo.

Off topic, but we should all count our blessings. Over the weekend I saw a guy who I don't know personally, but am very familiar with. In HS he was a champion wrestler, and for years coached junior wrestling. He was one of the top narcotics investigators for our county's prosecutors office.

When I saw him, his face was sunken, and he was having a difficult time walking. Word is he has Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS. Sad, very sad.

Archangel · 07-11-2006, 08:24 PM

Keep your chin up and heart light, thought the w/o was Good my Friend!!! I could not agree more, I count my blessings everyday I wake up, I figure the MAN upstairs has given me at least one more day, I should enjoy it, you know!!!

PreMier · 07-11-2006, 11:17 PM

Yup, there is a lot of bad shit that can happen (take me for instance im 23 and starting to lose my hair

) But to have a disease that would kill me would suck ass

gwcaton · 07-13-2006, 10:28 PM

JD's back and I'm not here to witness it ? LOL Try to mange without me for a couple more months and I'll be back to help you out !! LOL

Arch and YM: Yes, muscle memory is great. Though I think some of my muscle fibers are having memory lapses. LOL.

TT: Funny how us 50 somethings seem to agree

JerseyDevil · 07-15-2006, 08:07 PM

7/15/06

Deadlift
135 x 5
185 x 5
225 x 5
275 x 6

275 felt relatively light. Easy does it

HS Row

100 x 10/10
145 x 10/10

HS Pulldown

Alt DB Curls
30's x 8

45's x 10

Elliptical Machine
Aerobic program, level 10, 30 minutes

This workout was a milestone for me today. It marks the first time I 'worked out' with my soon to be 14 year old stepson. I have always hoped he would be interested in weights, and that day has come. Got to be careful not to burn him out... Of course I didn't have him follow my wo, I had him do a light full body workout, and he loved it. He has great potential. At 13 years, and 9 months old, he is 5' 10", 165 lbs, and although I don't know his bodyfat, it's definitely in the 12%-15% range.

yellowmoomba · 07-15-2006, 08:17 PM

Nice lifts today. Training your stepson sounds like fun

He'll thank you for training him THE RIGHT WAY - unlike most of us that lived on the bench and did a bunch of curls in our early years..........

JerseyDevil · 07-16-2006, 07:05 PM

Hey YM. Funny I see that all the time, but I didn't start training seriously until I was 33.

So far, BB movements feel very odd to him (having trouble balancing the bar, which I told him was normal), but he did seem strong with DB curls....

JerseyDevil · 07-16-2006, 07:23 PM

7/16/06
Another day where chores took presidence. Sanded drywall for 2 hours, cleaned up the mess, then washed two cars in 94 degree heat.

Ah, time to work out!

BB Incline Press
135 x 8
155 x 8
185 x 8
205 x 6

I can always tell in the warm ups if I am going to be strong.... 185 actually felt heavy to me, so I knew 205 was going to suck.
