Please share your thoughts. Thanks!

I will be 45 this year...in fact next week. I still dead-lift regularly. I believe it's like anything else, put in the time learning the proper form and prep yourself for it, and you can be injury free. I do all the major lifts and use what I think is quite a fair bit of weight. But it took me years to get to that point.

Now if you have an old injury, I think that changes the dynamics of everything as they can easily be inflamed....so I wouldn't chance it.

I also use foam rolling pretty extensively. And I see a PT once a month who works on all my trigger points, and is pretty aggressive with stuff such as scraping, deep tissue, etc. I also do a lot to protect my shoulder girdle such as rotations, pro-nations, stretching, etc.

Honestly though, I think the biggest problem I see in the gym is people using too much weight with bad form. That is a recipe for disaster.

I was fortunate enough to train with people when I first started that were professionals in their sports..some even world champions. I feel that was instrumental in my longevity in this activity as you can't learn this stuff from a book. There are so many little cues to look for even when doing the simplest exercises.

Plus everybody is built differently. Muscle insertion points are different, length and leverage...it all plays a role in it. Some people are made for a certain exercise while others aren't. And if you are the latter, you scrap the exercise and move to something that works.

Glad to hear that you are able to stay healthy and that you take care of yourself. Age is just a number and the best ability is availability

Thanks for your input! I completely understand, what do you do in place of deadlifts now?

I haven't replaced it with anything since I already incorporate a pretty good back routine

That's the best thing I can hear when talking with people about training. If it doesn't work for you....or if you can't chance doing it for some reason....you improvise and keep moving forward.

Most would let it get them down, but you found a solution and pushed on with it without excuse.

I wish more people were like that.

Hot damb I had an AWESOME shoulder workout! I felt like my skin was going to burst from the pumps. I gotta say I'm loving these testosterone boosters from Jym Supplement Science. I gotta say it's not the preworkout that keeps me going but it's this endless energy I'm getting now. I know after the age of I believe 34 testosterone levels start going down for males

Officially 208.5lbs at this morning's weigh-in. I plan to keep going, but I am starting to see some "softness" coming back into the picture....like my bicep/side-delt separation starting to leave.. I think this may be my last year of bulking.

After that I plan to settle into a comfortable weight and just see if I can keep refining what I have done so far!

Most of the added weight I'm carrying in my legs as I started hitting them hard again...and they took off. My wife just stares at me now when we just ate dinner 2 hours prior...and I'm in the kitchen making something else to eat.

My appetite is crazy right now. I'm eating constantly and still wake up starving in the mornings.


By the way, where is JP10 ?

Haven't seen him on in awhile. Maybe he is in the middle of his move he talked about earlier. Hope he is doing okay!

JP10 I dunno? hopefully fine. hey by the way when you do seated leg extensions do you incorporate the toe in toe out method to hit certain parts of your quads?

I keep them straight. But I only use it as a pre-exhaust technique as I think going too heavy on extensions could cause knee issues later. And by turning your feet, you can place stress on areas you don't want to.

Where I can really tell a difference in position of the toes is during a hack squat. You can really feel it isolate the inner and outer quad because it's basically a pressing movement. And you can take it to failure much safer than you can on other exercises such as squats.

One trick...if you want to "light" up a certain area......superset them with adductions or abductions depending on the area you are trying to hit.

So let's say you want to hit inner quads. Do a set on the adductor machine, the immediately do a set on the hack-squat machine with toes pointed inwards...vice-versa for outside quads.

Something about triggering those groups really complements each other.

Most people do the abductor machine along with toes out hack squats. Superset them and you build that "sweep" along your outer quads.

Hey guys, yeah just crazy busy. Traveled the last two weeks finishing up my last job. Moved out of Jersey last weekend and spending a week back in PA seeing family. Heading down to Charleston for the new job tomorrow and first day is Monday. So I'm swamped to say the least hahaha, but very excited to start!

Good news, I've been able to get in the gym every day this week so far! Lifts are solid, but have eaten terribly this week with parties and going out to eat and what not.

Hopefully I'll be more active once everything settles down with the move, til then hope your goals have all progressed!! It's bulking season baby!

Nice to see you things are working out for you!

I had wondered where you were at and glad to see you reply.

Man.....I'm in all out bulking mode right now. I can't keep enough food in the house. Wife has been making mid-week grocery runs for me. Everything is fair game right now!

I've been eating those Kodiak waffles each morning after working out. It's for a pretty good protein count. I'm not a big fan if syrup, but found out that they are awesome if you spread Nutella on them.

Plus True Nutrition makes a lot of high protein foods like soup and stuff for light snacks.

I was aiming for 220lbs....but going to play it by ear.

I usually bulk during the Fall and Winter but I may just keep eating clean and keeping the calories to the minimum

Sounds good. I've done that a few times. Your body starts to take on a different look. Call it being grainy, muscle maturity, etc......but I think it definitely helps more than people realize.

As long as you are killing it in the gym and have that "fire" burning......that is all that matters!

Exactly! Workouts are intense...speaking of intense had a late night leg workout since I had to pull a 12 hr shift cause my coworker said his "vagina hurts" lol! Anywho gym was dead except me and 3 other dudes

BTW your arms look like two veiny penis's lol! I guess the veins is all genetics cause I don't get that except on the penis. Are you taking anything for vascularity?
