[the other half]

hello fellow im'ers.
things are going great. we have been tearing up the gym pretty good. have dropped almost 20 pounds since the beginning of the year. down to 202. seem like the test gel is working pretty good. had my blood drawn a couple of weeks ago and the doc called and told me to cut back my amount cause my level was close to 1200. i dont see anything wrong with that, but it was higher than they want. im really liking it cause im only sore for about a day after a good hard workout.
will start posting agian let you know what the weights are looking like.

hope everybody is doing great!

 

[DOMS]

im grand, thanks. get anything hunting this last year?

 

[the other half]

that is a sore subject. it was probably the worst year of hunting i have had in my life.
they (forest service) put a new 4 wheeler road in our hunting area. we saw 1 elk in 9 days of hunting. and then deer season was a fun year, i got to spend alot of time hunting with my daughter, but i lost alot of hunting hours driving her back and for so she could go to work and such. hoping that this year will be better.

and how bout yourself?

 

[the other half]

well, we didnt make it to the gym today, one of the dogs seemed to have problems last nite and wanted to go outside 3 times during the nite, conviniently about 2 hours apart. not a good nite sleep for either of us.

will hit it tomorrow, have 2 workouts left, should we do shoulders or blast the legs????

EVERYBODY LOVES LEG DAY!!!! I do not know you but welcome back brother (& sister). WOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[PreMier]

i was 'relocated' to florida. the deer here look like big dogs.. i did go hunting but its GAY. people have these little plots of land, and they put up blinds and feeders.. and wait for the deer to come to them. i like to actually walk around and HUNT for them, in the mountains. fuck the east coast

 

[PreMier]

im not bitter at all..

 

[katt]

im not bitter at all..

lol that is gay!

 

[JerseyDevil]

im not bitter at all..

 

[Burner02]

I like to hunt thru the steak section at the super market.
Jut saying...much easier...and guranteed food!

 

[the other half]

YES
So, what's test gel? Saw that in an earlier post...

it is a testosterone gel that the doctor prescribed me for having low testosterone.
it 50 mg of test and i put on 75 mg a day. took my test from 259 up to right around 850. i will use a bit more when i know im not going to get my blood tested for a while. last time i messed up and had my blood drawin and it was at 1250.
but it helps with the alot of the alliments that come with getting older.

this was our first leg workout that was alittle more back to basics. the last couple of programs had machine work and such. so we started alittle lighter and kept to good form.
i think we are going to try and do legs twice a week, first being quad dominant movements, the latter being hamstring movements.
any suggestions on exercises to do, we always like trying new things.

 

[Burner02]

ever try kettle bell deadlifts?
Stand on two platforms, the KB in between, reach down w/ one hand, and do the set. it takes you DEEEEP. Pretty cool.

Think I may try the oh, woe is me being...40...depressed, weak...need hgh, test and deca prescrip....yeah!

 

[naturaltan]

That is quite the leg workout.

 

[2B1]

I'm a big fan of throwing some front squats in the mix. Granted they hit both quads and hamstrings but they are a quad dominant exercise. I also have been doing reverse calf raises on the smith machine. It takes a bit to set-up but they're beneficial.

as much as i would hate it, i would probly just give up hunting till i could get back to the mountians. what took you to florida?

i got a friend that always wants to go.. i might try and hunt hog. im in the airforce
