Remember when you told me about the Nike App two years ago? Well, I'm still using it. Not for running but for WALKING. My time is usually about 15 min & 20 secs per mile. When I walk with one of the moms it goes up to 16 minutes Boo, she walks slower than me. Thank you so much for recommending it. Hope you are doing well.

I skipped the summer of 2016 lmao it was way too hot. I swam instead. Nike app doesn't work in the water

Been back for 2 months. Since September. Doing lots of cardio. Which I hate. Lifting more every week too.

Getting ready for the summer.

This year I will be running a very simple cycle. 12 weeks of test E. Plus the first 4 weeks with d bol too. Probably start the cycle in May.

Which one are you?

JK.

Lol. They wouldn't know what inside of gym looks like.

@ flamingo

What's the overall weight in KG's you can lift with dumbbells using one arm?

And how many reps can you in one sitting?

Sometimes the arthritis in my thumbs area limits me. Today I had to confine my workout to flies and benches. I'll get shoulders and triceps tomorrow. Working through the pain can be a real challenge sometimes. Adjusting hand placement can help though.

I really don't lift heavy for my chest with dumbbells. I'm scared of shoulder injuries. I use the smith machine to lift heavy for my chest.

In my 30s, I injured my sternum cartiledge while doing prone bench dumbbell flies. I think I was using 50 lb. dummbells and getting really deep. I've not done any flies since except cable flies. I rarely do dips and when I do I don't go deep at all because of the significant ache I get in my sternum area. I do partials primarily for my triceps.

NickS,

Hope all is good with you. One of the youtube muscle guys, CT Fletcher is going through a big health scare.


I like his persona, but he's a lunatic (as most current or ex-power lifters are)

Correct Gett. There's no telling what their steroid use was (or is) and its deleterious effects on them.

I'm very careful about following workout or nutritional advice even from a doctor let alone a tv or web personality.

These past few months I have been power walking 5 to 7 miles a day. About 3 in the morning, then walk another 2 to 4 at night. The other day I got home after my morning walk, felt so nauseous and dizzy. While I was showering I felt like I was going to faint. So, I didn't even rinse the soap off, just got out to lie down on my bed since I could barely stand at that point. I think I suffered from heat exhaustion. It was only 70 degrees that morning when I walked. So, it's not like it was extremely hot out. I never eat or drink beforehand. So, I guess my sugar was low and the heat got to me. It took me about 4 hours to not feel dizzy anymore. Terrible feeling.

Be careful in the heat when exercising.

Alf, always irrigate your system before any workout.

WTF?!? Rich Piana and Dallas McCarver are dead..

Just got back in the gym today after a 10 day vacation layoff. All went pretty good. Did chest, shoulders, and triceps. Tomorrow it's Back, Biceps, and legs. Taking it all slow.

Yes, 30 minutes cardio and 2 - sets of 50 sit ups.
Same for rest of the week and then weight routine next.

I am going to see the physician next week because of my long last shoulder injury i hope i can finally have the proper treatment and then i will go back to rhe gym.

Good luck Meyer, hope it all goes well and you heal up quickly.

Nothing worse than a injury that keeps you from doing things.

Thanks alot !

I work out daily. I have bad arthritis in my right shoulder, so I wear a shoulder brace. All the old geezers in the gym come up to me and ask me what's wrong with my shoulder. What they really want to do is to tell me what's wrong with their shoulder.

I always listen respectfully and ask four questions: Did you have surgery? Who was the surgeon? Were you satisfied with the outcome? How long before you could do anything useful with your arm?

The answer to the last question--many months, and only after intensive physical therapy--is what keeps me away from surgery on mine. Not only that: if I keep at them, I find that more than one-third had to have the surgery done over again. Not for me!

Agree, i’ve Had pain in my shoulders, mostly left. Never even thought of having the surgery I know of from many who have had it.

My closest friend goes for regular procedures on his neck and Knee yielding zero relief.

I understand and feel bad that their pain is much worse but never understood the doctors selling them on these services and operations.

I lightly work through the injuries and notice the reduction of pain without meds, shots or surgery. A method of changing the way I work out and exercise is best for me but also understand it may not work same for all depending on age and level of injury.

Keep moving.

I have a right shoulder injury from years ago that inhibits my benching and military presses. So, I haven't seriously benched in years. However, I still do standing militaries, but I use a leg machine that allows me to press at a slight upward angle. That takes some of the stress off my shoulder and it works quite well.

I would never have surgery unless I was in dire pain. I have a sports hernia that gives me some pain from time to time, but I won't have surgery. I just don't do any direct ab work. Sometimes I have to lay off a movement for weeks, even months to allow the injury to heal. That's the price you pay, but it's better than surgery.

Agree, feel well.

Did full 5x5 routine today

10 minutes cardio. 5x5 weight routine ( 5 sets of 5 reps) 2 types of presses, curls, dead lifts, flys and finishing with 2-sets of 25 sit ups.
Light Stretch.

Will be sore tomorrow.
Rest on Sunday, back at ti Monday.

Light today but full routine tomorrow.

Got every day in this week.

Might miss a few next.

Nope

At my age???pffft..I'm good @ walkin' the dogs 4 a half a mile every nite + work keeps me in half good shape.

Yesterday worked Chest, shoulder, and triceps. Today I'll work legs, back, and biceps. I've always done upright rows. However, I 'm adjusting my grip to outside of the shoulders. Even though I did shoulders yesterday, I want to use rows today to hit my lateral deltoid and see what is the result.

Ran this morning. Now I'm on my way to the gym to work shoulders, lats and triceps. Then recumbent bike, Will use sauna afterward and take two long walks this afternoon and evening.

That dog must be in good shape, my dog would quit after a mile. He’s a big old Lab.



I gotta do Legs and Cardio Tomorrow.



I no longer run, go for low impact these days.
Sauna sounds great, love steam also. When I went on a cruise I did both every day.

I plan on riding my bike soon with the Milder weather arriving soon.

Enjoy your routines guys.

I have started to workout on my Rear delts and rc cause i have weak rear delts and rotator cuff which cause me pain for long time.

3 - mile walk today, skipped the Leg routine workout. Did not miss it at all.
