hey guy great to see another 55+ guy in here. keep in touch. we have to show these kida in here that we are not out of this equatiion yet. The Fat lady has not sung yet.
Hey Dave! Sorry to learn about your injury. Hope that you heal fast. I was sick all last week with sinus and upper respiratory infection. Posted prog pics last week and will post ab pics when I get my bodyfat down to 7% so I have a while yet and a lot more work to do. Hope that you are having a great week! All the best!
Wow. So did you get your neck fixed or are you just dealing with it? I've been working nonstop since January. I just did some calculations and discovered that I need to eat 2810 calories in order to grow. It's 3pm and I've already eaten 1020 cal. 1800 to go.
I'm currently a Kinesiology major but I'm not 100% sure on what profession I'll fall into. Thanks for the advice. Wow, those are great numbers! I agree it's all mental, I always imagine that I'm trying to push my feet through the floor when I deadlift, haha works for me.
No kidding! You're doing real good for yourself. The rows declined because I tried to mix it up a little. Just doing them a bit more concentrated, pinching my back together, and holding it. The only supplement that I'm currently taking is caffeine.
Hey Dave!
