Old guy making a comeback...

[tbody66]

My regular routine would be seven weeks of any particular program, normally this would be with an emphasis on a specifcally lagging muscle group. I would measure and guage success at the end of the seven weeks, take an entire week without doing any exercising what-so-ever and not sticking with any diet plan either(not pigging out, but not counting cals either) Then redesign my workout and dial my diet in for the next seven weeks. This seems to prevent my body from figuring out my routine. My workouts could change dramatically or simply shift the focus to a different bodypart by keeping the workouts the same just changing the rep range for a few muscle groups. It also allows my body to totally and completely recover from the intense abuse of hardcore lifting for the seven week program.

[tbody66]

Well, my body is lot's older than your body and the regularly scheduled rest helps to keep it not looking and feeling that way.

Thats a secret worth sharing ...

[tbody66]

Amen. Something else worth sharing is the workout I just designed specifically for you and posted on your thread, 405! I almost felt sorry for you while I was writing it, visualizing you performing it. It might be the best workout I've ever written for anyone.

Tbody also came from good genes.....look at his daddy...

[tbody66]

Speaking of daddy, he's currently on the market, so if any of you know any older fit women he would appreciate someone who believes in the lifestyle. Oh and he's an over the road trucker so there are about 48 states he's available in.

185.4 lbs this am with two full days of eating on the immediate horizon.

[tbody66]

And too you!

[tbody66]

Sounds great, 405. I've made my Oyster Stew for tonights dinner and finished up the last of my Lamb from our Church's Christmas party today at lunch, put it on 7 grains white bread with a slice of swiss on top, some horseradish dressing and dipped it in it's own au jus with added butter!

[First6]

Hey T. Glad to see you around here. It is real tough getting back after being gone. Good job Bro and I am very proud of you!
I thought about "coming back" a number of times but it is a hard thing to get over the "embarrasment" of dropping off for so long.
I have been lurking lately and I'm very happy to see you doing well.

[tbody66]

Thanks, brother, it would be great to have you back! Post up a thread and let's get back after this stuff crazy hardcore! You know you have a better chance of making progress due to muscle memory(if you've also been out of the gym as well as the boards) anyway, good to hear from you. Let's get things rockin'.

Merry Christmas all, have a blessed and wonderful day!

[tbody66]

Okay, stem, when are we starting this?

[Back In Black]

Whenever you want starting up dude.

I've missed the last 4 weeks out the gym and off my diet due to some joint and bone aching b1tch of a virus. SO I'm having a month to get back on track before I even consider risking one of your workouts!

However, let's get you going. All I need is your current stats, goals and times of day you lift. And how many meals you prefer to eat per day.

[tbody66]

I have some traveling to do friday, so gearing up to be all in starting next monday would be good for me. Also I'll post some pics and most up to date info soon.

5' 6", 189lbs, 18%bf, 45 years old

5:30am fasted cardio

lift m-f 5 days a week at 1:30pm

[tbody66]

Okay, just finished at the gym. Decent workout, hit back/chest then tris/bis, good pump from the quick workout of supersets. Weigh in and bf scales....drum roll......

188.2lbs 20.5% bf.

I don't care if I eat once a day or eight times a day. I like simple and repetitive. I prefer fish as my protein source and tabouli or rice as my carb, but will do whatever you decide.

I also lift on saturday mornings, superset arms by themselves.

I'm flexible on my goal, anywhere from 13.89 - 13.91% bf by Feb 27th @ between 5:59 - 6:01 am.
This should give you enough wiggle room not to have to be completely dialed in.

Workout was leg day, but since I had to do chest and back yesterday and missed alot of workouts last week, my back was sore so I didn't squat. Supersetted leg extensions/leg curls/toe presses, four progressive sets, no rest in between, a 20 minute workout and my legs were swole up and on fire!

[gbrice75]

Heading to the gym now for back and arms!

[SlimmerMe]

happy new year to you tbody!

[tbody66]

Thanks, Slim, you too!

Since I missed the gym yesterday and so did my wife, we did chest/back/triceps/biceps today

Good workout and pump, hoping to carb load for pic so I look full and pumped. Waiting for that diet from stem, but I'll come up with something if he doesn't make it on time! I'm working on his workout plan so he better be ready!!!

Bible Study is our big plans to ring in the New Year, hope you all are doing what you want with the people you want to be doing it with!
