You must have a hell of a metabolism rate !!! It must be the 2 or 3 banana splits I have every week !!!!!!!! Thats about the only junk I eat except of free day where i eat whatever doesn't eat me first.

I thought you were kidding last time you said that
We're going to the beach to see the fireworks tonight. I'll have to hit the Ben and Jerry's stand. Anything in the name of better health

I never kid about banana splits !!! LOL But I did omit the fact that I also eat pizza twice a week.

 

[gwcaton]

Awesome progress man! Keep up the hard work. Obviously what you're doing is working well.

BTW, don't worry about calves, we all hate them, they're stubborn a*sholes.

Hey Mike ! Long time no post . Thanks for stopping in.

Bench press
155 x 10
210 x 8
230 x 6
245 x 4
155 x 10
More like it ! Last time I got stuck on the last rep on set 3 and had to do 2+2 on set 4 to get my 4 reps. Got it done right this time !

Dips
me x 10
me +20 x 8
me +30 x 6
me + 40 x 4
Me x 12

cable curls
55 x 10
65 x 8
75 x 6
80 x 4
55 x 15

D.b. concentration curls
25 x 10
30 x 8
35 x 6
40 x 4
20 x 15

Notes: Going for my 250 x 4 bench next wo, If I get it I will switch to incline bench for awhile for a change of pace. If not i will try again next time. But as soon as I hit 250 x 4 i will change over to incline.
I do need to replace D.b concentration curls though, been doing those for too long. Maybe Incline db curls.

Also after this bulk ends in 3 weeks I will take a week off andthen do an 8 week cut, instead of my usual 12 week. to knock off some of the fat I have gained. then I will probaly do a 8 week leg priority wo/bulk ,take a week off and start my final cut . the one that will reveal the amazing abs I am building for my 50th birthday. LOL Should be able to get that done in 16 weeks.

When is your b-day??? Geez I admire you, 50 and your goal is abs...Most 50 year old are couch potatos and watch sports. I cant wait till you post you pics on you b-day. You should be real proud of yourself Gary.

Any 'special treats' eaten on the 4th of july??? Have you tried those frozen coffees from DQ, they are new. I havent, they are like 600 cals each.(ya Im a losser, I looked up the macros on the net). Have you seen the commercial where the lady falls into the blinds??? I cant stop laughing its soooooooo funny.

Hi Honey !

Wow you make me blush with all those compliments. You're a sweetheart !

My 50th B-day is April 16. I hope to have some pics taken by a professsional photog for the occassion. Debbie is kind of leary of that because the local photog is an attractive lady and I was planning on a few "provocative" poses ! LOL Plus the photog likes to put copies of the pics she takes in her display window and Debbie says she doesn't want everybody in town to know what she has at home . Small town of about 1000 people.

Yeah I just saw that DQ commercial ! But I don't think I'll try one . just doesn't sound to good to me. I 'll stick to banana splits and malts and pizzas and ...No special treats on the 4th.

And I am so proud of you ! You have been doing so great ! You will need a new wardrobe soon and I know you love to shop !

 

[Jill]

You are too sweet Gary! You do know how I like to shop.

If you were my hubby Id for sure be showing you off by having your pics posted in the window of the photo shop.

Nice new avi too, that guy is real cute!

But Jill, You are sweeter!

You wouldn't mind my pics being in the display window? but what if women starting whistling at me when they came into the store and started treating me like a peice of meat ?!

Yes the new avi is cute but I think he is just showing off !

Good work GW!! Everytime I come in here you are lifting more and more!!

If you are looking for a new bicep exercise try straight bar curls

 

[Sapphire]

BUT Gary you ARE a piece of meat! and you LOVE it !!!
I agree with Jill, you are amazing... going for six pack for your b'day instead of a SIX PACK..

When is your bday? Mine is August 29th....

Thanks! I just finished about 6-8 weeks of straight bar curls , I'm sure I will go back again in another 6-8 weeks.

Hi Cyndi !

HMMMMM I hadn't thought about the other 6 pack, might do that too. My B-day is April 16.
Me ... Amazing ? LOL thanks! You make an old man feel gooood !!!!

 

[Rocco32]

Awesome job on the Bench Press! You've surpassed me quickly. You've really gone up in weight!! I think Incline DB Curls are a good choice, that's my favorite bicep exercise. I like the Incline to be low so my arms really stretch at the bottom!

[P-funk]

Hanging knee raises
5 sets of 40 lbs x 20

how are you doing those? Holding a 40lb dumbell between your feet?

 

[gwcaton]

how are you doing those? Holding a 40lb dumbell between your feet?

yup, Between my thighs right above the knee.

 

[Sapphire]

When you are doing cable crunches, do you kneel or sit? I do both and find the seated ones harder .... how about you?

BTW you are STRONG!!! I love strong men....

Hi Cyndi,
I kneel when I do the cable crunches. I will try seated sometime and see what happens. Thanks for the compliment !
You are strong too. What are you up to on your bench ?

 

[P-funk]

yup, Between my thighs right above the knee.

Ah okay....try holding them between your feet. that will place you in a harder positin to apply force as the weight will be moved further away from the axiz of rotation, increaasing the length of the resistance arm.

 

[I'm Trying]

Great job Gary. You are doing great!! I need to get back on track and restart a journal. Just been lazy with the journal portion.










I'm still working out though!!

How are you doing the kneel cable crunches. I don't think I'm doing them right.
Thanks!!

But that sounds like it might be too hard to do ! I will try that , probably tomorrow .

Hmmm , not sure how to answer this . So here are a couple of pics !

 

[Jill]
