Everything good, Admiral? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you skip a day.
Me body hurts, knee hurts again but in a new place now and both shoulders hurt so much I can’t do a push up. Left shoulder is so jacked up that it was moving on it’s own while I was trying to drink coffee yesterday . 1 more week of hard work, lots of ibuprofen and then about 3 months forced rest for me coming up.

Haven't missed many, Greg, hitting at least 5 days a week, sometimes 6. Body has a lot of miles on it, it's more about functional strength and keeping as much as I can at this point. Getting old ain't for sissies. Hope your body heals up a little Brother.
Bob, congrats! How'd it feel?

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Still sounds like a good workout. I’m still working on form, going light. Rengage that mind/muscle connection.

Heading in for leg day, then to work. Wheeeee!

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Might as well be, Bob, as I ain't humping many Wednesdays. I did chest and some shoulders as well.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Who's still lifting?
PR'd squats tonight at 255x5 after warmup. I started lifting in May, basing the workouts off of Starting Strength, but the "old person" version for people over 40, that's a little less intense. I made great gains, the massive beginner gains have slowed considerably, but still getting PRs, I just have to make sure there are more rest days and sometimes drop down and do higher reps before coming back after a couple weeks to top out again. I feel so much better and stronger since starting, I can pick up the kids relatively easily again even though they are getting really big. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Marc, sounds like it's going amazing. You're going to be shoving guys around in the loft next August!
I still lift 5 days most weeks. New PRs are a thing of the past at this point, I try to maintain as much muscle as I can but reality has other ideas. Functional strength is what I strive for now, and though my strength is probably down 25% from 6 years ago, I've found other ways to amp up the intensity. And I'm still stronger than 90% of the 20 somethings in the gym.

Functional strength is great. I want to get strong enough so that I don't get a debilitating injury while doing things around the yard, or house, or while sleeping, as I get older. I'm trying to work in more walking as well. Since 2020 my step count went way down, and I put on some flab. It's really carving out some time in the day to get out and do it. I'm up to doing about 2 miles now several times a week, trying to make it almost daily. |

Marc, these days I do two days a week of legs and shoulders, 2 days a week of back/chest supersets, and one day on arms. Cardio consists of Precor biking using programmed hills and such.
