uuhhhh
Don't know? I am just increasing as I can trying to avoid injuries.

I feel pretty confident that I can hit 245 now with a spotter.

I am 50 years old and my personal goal is to lose the fat. Once I am there I ought to look pretty decent. I am addicted to lifting again so who knows. Maybe someday I may compete in a local Senior citizens competition :roflmao:

With my body style I'll probably look more like a powerlifter that a BB'r

I'll have to look back and see what I used to hit on the bench
 
Went to the gym tonight. My wife and kids are out of town so I decided to stay out of trouble and go to the gym instead of working out at home.

This was only my second trip to a "gym". I had to laugh @ myself. There are 2 different cable pull down machines. One you face the machine and and the other you put your back against the pad and face away.
Well I was facing the machine when I should have been facing away.
No biggie.
But the funniest was these two guys on the smith squat machine. One coaching and one listening. These two were doing squats on the smith machine, Spotting each other and making a lot of noise counting and such coach guy pointing out the fine details of squatting. They were both squatting about 6 inches down. But the funiest thing they had a TOTAL of 50 pounds on the bar. 2, 25# plates I wanted to say something but I bit my tounge. And I really wanted to throw on 300 pounds and bang out a few ATF reps.

I didn't bring my note pad so I dont have all the weights.

It was cool to have a big mirror.


Bi's and Tri's

Machine Curls 3 sets
Machine tricep press 3 sets
low cable curls 3 sets
Tricep rope pull downs 3 reps
Alt DB curls 30# 10,10, 25# 10
Two handed tricep push ups behind the head 60# 3 sets
Single handed tricep press 3 sets
 
Weight 232 this AM

I was down to 227.5 a couple of weeks ago After the IM contest I ate for a weekend and carb loaded gained 10 pounds of water @ 238 pounds

Intersting thing on my scale It measures % fat and % hydration. As a trend the hydration levels have been going up (tending to show increase in Muscle % of body mass)
Fat % has been going down over the last several months

When I started the scale my program I weighed 262 pounds 38% fat and 44% hydration as an average

For the last couple of days the scale has been showing 30% fat (lowest ever) and hydration of 62% highest ever.

The scale is set for "normal" not "athlete" Athelete shows lower % of fat.

I hear you but the scale is doing weird things! I dont care what I weigh I just want to lose the fat. The scale is showing fat loss and muscle gains. I take my 5 month photo Tuesday! Proof in the pics I guess
 
Great videos Jag, way to represent us 50 year olds!!! And looking like a powerlifter ain't a bad thing, you have a good base to just be one big dude!!

That Bench. Not really an "Oh shit" But I really had to dig on that one.
I have had Oh Shit moments and bailed on a squat once. At least my catch bars are strong.

I had no choice on that but to lock it out! My catch bars were set too low. My neighbor who is isually my spotter had been on vacation and then got sick.

I feel confinent I can hit 245 with a spotter I am going to DO that hopefully this week.




Funny thing I see my shadow and I don't reconize it. Instead of a upside down light bulb shadow I am "starting" to see a V shape shadow. It actually startled me the other day I though someone was behind me in my house LOL


Let say she like the effects of the HRT. Losing 30 pounds of fat does make you junk look bigger. And with the HRT if don't have to sit on my knuts :roflmao:

Thanks I wish I had a spotter! I would risk it a bit more.
My rack has a smith machine but I hate using the smith machine!

I would rather do ATF BB squats with less weight without a spotter that use the smith machine.
I am tempted to remove the Smith rails from the rack! LOL
