Been busy but the workouts are still happening. Missed 1 the other day. The day just flat out got away from me. 
 

Been feeling pretty good lately although I noticed some t-spine tightness today. Just one side. Had to spend time unlocking it. Not too bad, but it could present a problem in the future if I let go. 
 

Oh well, it all worked out well and the lb’s got moved.

 

ItZit for now. Keep at it, man.

Right back at ya my friend. 

Pull Day for me tomorrow ~

Fan Favorite.

I hear that. My body feels so much better after pulling exercises. After sitting in front of a computer all day, a good pull workout is the perfect RX for it.  

Pull 2 Workout today.

Felt pretty good.

Of course eating right, staying hydrated and getting plenty of sleep is a big part of that. #borninfiftynine

Started off the new month with Legs 1 this morning.

There's a fine line for me between safe & effective training

and letting my ego select the training weight.

Oh man, looks like my legs would have been Jello at the end of that one...Great work mi amigo.

 

Getting after it later on. T-Spine on my left side is still a little tight. Yesterday was an off day and spent some time trying loosen that up. I'm thinking some  may be required here.  

 

ItZit for now. Chat later

Push 1 workout this morning.

I felt mostly ready for this one right from the start.

That really helps.

Pull 2 this morning.

Did some grinding in this one.

Legs 2 this morning.

This one always gets my attention.

Also, I'm not going to lie,

I really like being able to do this stuff at my age.

I know what you mean A-Jay, although I know I'm being disingenuous in trying to compare knowing you're 7 years ahead, but there's just nothing like feeling...you know...right.  

 

Took a step back this week to work on a still stiff t-spine. Lowered the weight, introduced a rotation (transverse plane) movement, upped the reps to a more strength endurance type exercise. Feel waaaay better now. I plan on doing that for the next 2 days and will hit the heavier weight on Monday.

So glad you're feeling better.

Changes everything. 

I'm stepping into a push workout right now.

Don't let the old man in.

Stay well my friend.

Hammered out Push 2 workout this morning. 

Finished off the shoulder & chest training with a drop set. 

Always a good time.

Stepping into the home gym for Leg Day.

Where excuses are dismantled and the foundation gets stronger.

Here we go  . . . .

When I do it right, Leg Day tests my mettle.

Push 1 Workout this morning.

Going into it I was sure how this one was going to go.

Turned out mostly OK.

Definitely feeling yesterday's push workout, especially through most all

of my Pectoral/shoulder girdle.

Also, going back and comparing older workouts to newer one is something I do quite often.

Can be motivating as well as helping me reduce/repeat old 'mistakes'.

Below is a couple of leg press videos completed 6 years apart.

I was 58 and (most recently) 64 respectively.

I've improved my form/technique some on this exercise since that first one.

But the working weight & rep count Is The Same.

I like that.

(pull day tomorrow)

 

 

Another long busy week but the workout train rolled along. 
 

Thoracic spine is finally back to normal. Was getting frustrated there with tightness and lack of mobility. I’d say I’m glad that’s over but it’s always going to a work in progress. 
 

Been feeling really good mentally and physically, although my mother in law’s health has really deteriorated. Gonna be a bit of a roller coaster here for a couple of weeks.

 

Will be hitting it later today to close out the week. Giving the body a much needed break.

 

ItZit for now. Chat later 

Glad to hear you're feeling better.

Sorry about your MIL.

Hoping for some stability there for you & your family.

We're thinking of you brother.

Pull 1 workout this morning.

Grip strength always comes into play on this one.

Don't see AI replacing much of what goes on up in here.

Legs 2 workout this morning.

Been feeling pretty good which has allowed me to be consistent.

Meaning I haven't needed to add extra off days.

Hate missing workout in the winter because

I know I'll be missing a some once there's open water.

Push 2 workout this morning.

The challenge is always the same.

Grind right to the edge,

but don't go over it.

#borninfiftynine

A-Jay

I appreciate that and it should go without saying that my fingers are still crossed for you guys.

Pull 2 workout this morning.

Showing last 2 working sets in this one.

The closer we get to open water,

the harder I work. 

#borninfiftynine

Legs 1 workout this morning.

After plenty of warmup sets, I got right into it.

The old bones don't exactly love it when I train a little heavier,

but I don't think they totally hate it either.

I know I like it.
