Heck I know it seems strange but the hammer strength chest press at my main location is lighter than the same machine slightly different model across town so I will post numbers but they might not jive.

Today leg extensions 115 leg curls 90.
That makes sense! A lot of machines have differing resistances, and as a result they can be kind of off.

A big part of that is the pulley system.

The number means nothing,but it can be a useful metric of progress. Ie; you did x amount of reps at y weight but next week you managed to do the same amount of reps at z weight. Now you know you made progress.

Bro no offense but you are really half azzing your workouts.

I'm 51 so age isn't an excuse.

For example yesterday I did:

Decline bench press 6 x 10 with each set followed by a left and right single arm side decline press 6 x 10

4 x 10 regular bench press 250 pounds

5 x 10 incline DB press 90 pds

4 x 10 scoops

5 x 10 incline DB flies

3 x 10 dips

5 x 10 tricep skulls

4 x 10 tricep pull down

5 x 10 tricep push down with each set followed by 5 x 10 overhead tricep pull over


That is 52 sets, all done in an hour. Not trying to rag on you but you are doing what....14 sets????

Cmon man. You are really strong but you have the quintessential dad bod. Good luck on trying to get back into shape.

You put all of your weight into your middle. Your arms and legs look like sticks on a snowman.

That is genetic.....hard to change that. But I will say your diet is not good. Lots of processed foods.

I've never done 51 sets. Even at ASU playing football it was only 16 to 20 working sets.

I don't think I could do that. That's very impressive. You lift 6 days a week like that?

BTW I get told I look 30-38 or so all of the time. NO ONE guesses my age. No one even comes close.

No gray hairs yet. Part of it is genetics, part of it is working out, and a big part of it is I take 20 grams of vit C and about 8-10 grams a day of lysine/proline. Great for men and collagen production.

Thanks bro.

Usually 4-5 days a week.

It really is something that you get used to. I'm sure you could as well. I don't power lift so I do lots of drop sets and triple drop sets as well. Kind of like a cardio workout within a lifting workout. Just have to get used to it but I rarely rest more than 10-20 seconds between sets and no rest if I do drops. I like to work up a good sweat and really feel my heart beat when lifting.

I remember a cop friend of mine, has a body similar to yours, pretty strong like you as well. He worked out with me once and had to take the next 3 days off of work because he couldn't get out of bed lol.

Honestly aware me on processed food.

If it's only about calories and macros what difference does it make?

But steak, chicken, ground beef aren't processed

The frozen dinners are gone.

Really hard to explain but the processed foods affect your body shape and energy in different ways than eating the same macros with non processed food.

I really try to avoid it although I do drink 2-3 times a week (vodka mixed with green tea and gatorade and a vit c supplement mix only) and enjoy fast food as much as anyone. Usually only on the weekends.

I really believe the large vit C is a huge anti oxidant and helps your body stay young.

As far as eating...

For example all I have for breakfast is a smoothie shake of BCAAs, garlic, ginger root, kale, spinach, carrots, cucumbers, almond milk and yogurt.

For dinner I usually make something tasty usually involving ground turkey or ground beef made into a healthy casserole or soup. Often I will make tacos, chili, stir fry etc. But whatever it is, it is all non processed. All fresh veggies. No fruit.

I always make enough to have enough left over for lunch the next day as well.

Besides that I might eat a half a protein bar for a little sugar snack but that is about it.

Processed food is full of salt. It messes with your electrolytes balance, water retention, and appetite.

I thought 3x12 was optimal. You're not getting any extra benefit by doing 4x10 or 5x10 and you might even make injury more likely. Is 3x12 no longer the standard?

I always thought 3 or 4x8 was the best as 8 was the sweet spot between strength and hypertrophy.

It's only 600 cals. 46g protein, 36g fat and only 34 grams carbs.

It's my only food since 6 last night.

I just feel as though I don't get enough of a pump or taxing my muscles enough doing 3 sets.

Many times I will do 3 sets with heavy weight, but add in a drop set or a triple drop set with lighter weight so I am really doing 6 sets or even 9.

To me, just looking at your skin condition and pallor, you look like a person that should be on heavy doses of vit C and lysine/proline.

I would also recommend a skin lotion at night with heavy zinc oxide in it.

Don't really mean the lack of a tan.

i think shifting your macros away from fat and toward carbs makes more sense for you, especially since you said you're getting lightheaded

I played college football and lifted in the military.

I pretty much stopped around 94 but still did a lot of labor jobs. I didn't start working out again until I hit 40.

I'm weak now since I lift slow and don't go heavy. I had my shoulder repaired 3yrs ago.

But when my now 28yo was playing hs ball he had one of his teammates over lifting.

They were sophomores and had like 135 or 150 on the bar. I walked by and said don't strain your ovaries ladies.

So of course they shot back how much can you bench then

I had them load every plate we had came out to 295.

I got down threw up an easy single and they couldn't believe it

But ever since 40 training style and this disease have sapped my strength.

That was after a 16hr fast. I really bloat on carbs.

But I might start throwing in some salads here and there.

You're forgetting the main factor my man.

2 mcdoubles throwing away one set of buns and making a mcquad with a large diet coke is only $4.31

What you described is about 9 bux.

It's my offseason. Unless I find a part time job that will allow me to still do the handful of projects I get until April 1 I have to live on my winter fund.

But cotdam if I was big baller like you? Like RF holy phuck the money I'd throw at this schit.

I'm being 100% serious. I admire your ballerness.

Phuck I have to eat out tonight.

I have 1400 calories to play with.

I'm going to get a chicken bowl no rice double meat, lettuce, pick, corn, jalapenos, onions, Peppers, cheese cilantro.

No chips. That should be under 1400 don't you think?
