55 YRS OLD AND COUNTING.......

[njflex]

 So birthday coming up 55 next Thursday, July 13. As you can see my training is still in effect. Age catches up. I can feel it right now having some right shoulder issue working around it I have to do massages and I have different ways to work around it it’s affecting my chest workouts. I’ve had to do more cable and more machine, pressing on the angles and try to keep the front dealt out. started this thread over 10 years ago some changes in the body by time occur. It sucks. I hate it but it is what it is other than that happy to be healthy and still I’ll get big.com and hopefully put up a few more pics the next couple weeks or so. My leg workouts are going incredible. My legs really haven’t missed much of a beat  still there good size some separation as you can see.

Mon chest tri abs

Tues back traps calves abs

Wed off usually if not Thursday workout and then thurs off

Thurs delts and biceps or off

Fri I do a circuit day just few sets of mon and tues workouts higher reps  30: 45 minutes


Sat legs top to bottom


Sun off



I do a lot of drop sets ,and for say delts run the rack laterals ..


This past  few months diet wise same protein less carbs I cycle them around,I do not count calories ,I also drink fair enough amount water not over board like some people with gallon jugs around all the time.i also eat small and do not overstuff myself for scale weight anymore I’m happier right now and my shape and condition is better for it.i want to be frank zane type lol..


I train with a cop he’s 36 I know him since he’s in high school we started traing together steady last 2;yrs he’s down 40 lbs since and looks great  he’s rubbed off on me as well .i do not try to out lift him on chest like dbells I do what I can and shoulder presses as well.i push him on legs and back he has to keep up with me there I’m still very strong there .

We have to meet one day on the beach or boardwalk.

Regarding your earlier post of adapting to age I find myself doing a lot of that.  When my shoulders gives me grief it's declines chest presses where it doesn't hurt at all.  Making some drastic changes to my leg training. Now it's leg press, high box step ups and dumbbell squats on a severe wedge.  Regarding the wedge I got a more severe angle than the picture I pulled off the internet. It sure makes a light weight heavy and seems to throw all the stress onto the quads. Long story short, we all have to adapt and change as we age.

Keep going you look fantastic.
