**SlimmerMe** · 02-21-2012, 09:03 AM

Tbody,

Hope you are fine and dandy and enjoying life. THE REAL LIFE!

**tbody66** · 07-19-2012, 07:23 PM

Thanks Slim, that's exactly what I've been doing. 9 very consistent months in the gym and with friends and family. Busy with work, took on some clients, started with 3 and grew into 9. Life is good, I am healthy, tan and strong. Went to Colorado with the wife and 5 teenagers and survived. Life is good.

I know the feeln! Its good to recognize and appreciate it so we dont take it for granted!

**tbody66** · 07-24-2012, 09:24 AM

Been eating clean for the week since we came home from vacation and birthday(celebrated my 46th), lost a few lbs already and made a noticiable difference in the belly area. Changed up the workout starting yesterday, going back to a push/pull program with heavy/light days. Yesterday was heavy chest day, fairly easy 1RM of 335 lbs, current bodyweight 189-191, was 198 for the past several months. Started using reverse grip bench for upper chest development. We'll see how it goes. I have high hopes!

what up you old fart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! happy belated BD! when you mean 46, you mean 80!!! hahaha! good to finally see ya back around.

**tbody66** · 07-25-2012, 12:15 PM

Thank's Cajun. Gonna see what eating clean and lifting heavy can do for the next couple of months.

**--->>405<<---** · 07-25-2012, 12:24 PM

335 max is good dude.. interested to hear about the reverse grip bench. i could use some upper pec work myself!

**tbody66** · 07-25-2012, 04:40 PM

I read about the reverse grip bench last year, if I remember correctly it is supposed to hit the upper pec 40% more effectively than incline bench. I tried it some last year, but my tendonitis bothered me too much. It is an awkard initial movement, but I actually am liking it this time. I'll let you know how it progresses. I actually like incline bench. I did get one rep up on it a few weeks ago of 300 lbs. Anyway, lot's of encouragement and motivation here. I appreciate it very much.

Tbuddy!!!!

How ya been old chap?

**tbody66** · 08-30-2013, 07:56 AM

Life is busy. Gym time is up and down(or in and out if you prefer) I tried a bulking phase in march, put on 30 lbs in 30 days, got up to 215#, kept it on for 30 days and then started to lean out and see if I could keep any of the size. Bad news is I was fat before I started the bulk phase. I ended at 27% bf, I'm back down to 195# at 22%, but feel tiny! Doc put me on test, I was extremely low, but hey I am 47 years old. Been on for about a month now, but, since I'm dieting not seeing the gains like I expected. Don't know how much I'll be around or for how long this time, but I wanted to say hey to the crew and let you know I have thought about you all(or y'all) and kept you in my prayers. Goal is to lean out and keep my bench over 300, without cardio of course!

**--->>405<<---** · 08-30-2013, 08:50 AM

Lol.. Lean out without cardio!! I like to eat too much for that!

If ur test was low and ur now on TRT u will (should if u were/are like me) see a HUGE difference!! Hope u stick around for awhile there pal

**RaginCajun** · 08-30-2013, 01:34 PM

You should get into the HRT section, they can help ya out.

Why not stick around so I can harass ya!

**tbody66** · 09-03-2013, 10:36 AM

I'll check out the HRT section. No promises on sticking around, life is life and lot's of important things taking priority lately! Don't ever think I don't love you guys though, even when I'm not posting.

**tbody66** · 03-24-2016, 09:55 AM

So, I haven't posted in 2 1/2 years...

**tbody66** · 03-25-2016, 09:54 AM

Life has had a few downs and a few ups, almost everything is going very well for me right now. I'm looking at competing in my first show in November, so I have plenty of time to do the slow and steady thing right!
