Enjoy the Rest.

Today's CHEST routine.....

Flat Bench/5 sets
Incline Dumbell (Low incline,bench set at 15 degrees)/4 sets
Weighted Dips/4 stes
Incline Hammer Press/3 sets

Past 3 or 4 weeks I've eliminated any flye movements from my chest workouts. While I was still incarcerated I gave this a try and was happy with the results. Noticing new-gained mass after these past weeks already...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Guys! Let me know how your training's been goin. Keep the lifting thread pumpin'!

I ran about four miles this morning. Having been in Florida for most of the winter and having done most of my running on the beach, it's really an adjusment running on concrete again. Not sure how my knees are going to feel tomorrow.

Of course I did.

Yesterday I did partial and light squats - the first time in a year. I'm protecting my knees and back. Leg extensions and presses are not generating sufficient muscle growth. We'll see.

I had a big bowl of Fiber One cereal last night before bedtime. Five minutes after my morning coffee today, I did one squat. And it was a big one. Nothing light or partial about it.

That's as close to pyhisical exertion an any Throggs Neck resident gets!

You spelled physical wrong, Carmine .

Just testing you Throggs Neckite.

Working Chest and Legs more than usual.

Squats are becoming easier right now, I think because I was favoring my knees over back.
Back and legs feeling great, building both and feeling the benefit.

However with lighter weight = 5/ sets of 25 with 20's , Plus curls / plus pushups. same sets.

Good back workout yesterday.This week and last Ive focused primarily on lat width,because I feel as far as mass and thickness goes my back is up to par, but I'd like to see more wideness from the front. So I've really been concentrating on getting a good stretch and contraction,slower negatives.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Today's LEG routine....

Leg Press - 5 sets/12-15
Squat - 4 sets/8-10
Stifflegged Deadlift - 4 sets/8-12
Walking Barbell Lunge - 3 <-->
Front Squat - 3 sets/10
Lying Hamstring Curl - 3or4 sets/to failure

Alright fellas off to work this morning, then to the weight pile it is........

2 mile jog. Gonna work my way up to a 10K. When I was 60 I jogged 6 miles. Now that I'm 63, I should to a 10K (6.2 miles)

That is really solid. What time frame do you do the 2 mile Jog in.


I do a 2 & quarter mile in 28 minutes for my cardio. Been thinking I should jog it but like the walk for a sweet smooth cardio before my lifting of light weights for another 30 - 40 minutes, sometimes 50 - 60 mins. Reg routine and always changing it, up and down to keep body from injury.

DP

That's great mileage for a person your age I give u the credit you deserve for sure.

I'm probably joggin at 4.5-5 mph. My knees are feeling it a little. If I lose a few pounds (15) that will lighten the load on the knees. Today I went to the Edward Forsthye Refuge (Federal) in Absecon, NJ. There is an 8 mile drive that goes out into the marshlands. It's an 8 mile packed-sand road. I rode my bike - beautiful ride. Stopped a few times to observe the bird life; Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Ducks, Ospreys, and other small shore birds. In distance is the skyline of Atlantic City. I'm feeling good.

Just got back from the gym. Did Leg Extensions which I almost never do. Also worked lats quite a bit and biceps: dumbbell curls and Scott benches. Finished with 20 minutes on the stairs.

Great pace, I slow it down simetimes to 3.5, Do only what feels right for your body.

That sounds like a wonderful bike ride, and a great workout. I love viewing wild life in any setting. Birds always interesting since they are always so busy, especially in the Spring.

Feeling good is a Great Day, live it up.

Today's muscle massacre will probably consist of a routine something like this

Incline Bench/4sets/8-12
Flat Dumbell Press/4sets/8-12
15°Incline Dumbell Press/3or4sets/8-12
Flat Dumbell Flye/3sets/12

yes as always

Missed my workout today, did legs Monday after my usual cardio however I did beat myself up powerwashing the entire yard and house today.
I do it every spring.
Done with that shit and back to my workout tomorrow....

1/2 hour cardio.
20min - 1/2hr light weights with sets of curls / presses / squats.

DP

Yard work definitely counts.

Oh I hope so, it must. It's really tuff when you do a full day or even a few hours.

I had a lanscaper for years and watched him one day spending time at home and thought to myself, I should just do that my dam self. So I do, and I enjoy it, but never realized all the other stuff I do and he dosen't and now I do it all myself, I like it. One day I will be a full time gardner, right here at home. Part time for now and lovin it.

DP

Goin to hit back today probably include some deadlifts.
Will look something like this

Reverse grip Pulldown/4 sets 10-12
Deadlifts/4sets/6-12
T-Bar Row/4sets/8-12
Seated Cable Row/3sets/10-12
Dumbell Row/3sets/8-12

Also have started doing about 15-20 minutes daily cardio after my workouts to shed remaining fat hoping to see my abs a lot more than I can now. I feel like 15 mins. of cardio a day is better for myself personally because I'm just starting now after not running a single lap since I was in prison and still only ran for like half a summer. Point being anymore than a good paced 15ish minutes on the treadmill then possibly some stepmill a day is plenty for me and results will show I'm sure

I'll do machine flys followed by prone bench. Then, dumbbell military presses followed by cable side laterals and pushups. Then, tricep pressdowns. I'll stairstep for 20-25 minutes then stationary bike.

Going to hit chest today with pretty much the basics.


Flat bench/4 sets/8-12
Incline Dumbell press/4 sets/8-12
Incline cable flye/3 sets/10-12
Weighted dips/4 sets/8-12

Serious mass buildage goin on

Southend I will give you a tip that worked for me on chest, get someone to put weight plates on your back (or someone to sit on you if you can) and do press ups as wide as you can stand, makes the chest explode!
Press ups in general are great for chest, try doing some sets at an angle where your legs are up on a bench. Keep your ass up and get that nose low to the ground.

Thanks Nick I used to love doin those all the time, incline pushups (or pressups). Hands on the ground,feet elevated up on something like a bench or whatever,not too too high obviously. I definitely agree these give the chest an incredible pump.
