Well I joined one of the 2 college gyms in my little town which are the only gyms in the area and boy am I sore.
Those first few workouts are a bitch when one has taken an extended break. I over did it on my first day back and was so sore for a week that I couldn't bring myself to go to the gym until the following week. That's just plain stupid and counterproductive. Sometimes less is more.
I'll give you credit, I couldn't eat what you are. All those chicken breasts, wow! Fortunately, all I have to do is reduce the portions and gradually the excess weight comes off. Can't cheat if you're not officially dieting. I'm looking to bottom out at 175 lbs. Right now the scale reads that I am only 2 lbs. off from reaching that goal. Being a geezer, I didn't want to lose the pounds too rapidly as my belly skin would have sagged worse than it did. :(

Adjusting my diet is not really a problem as I have done a ton of contests and like to feel like I`m a Spartan as I get much better results this way.

there not too bad wes,,,we have a shoulder press I think its sort of like that 'stack'version but one side close to the stack feels like it gets more ,I know there balanced in structure but there not smooth in movement at times if not maintained..
-

I have no choice brother......I look terrible.
Steve,I do like a few of the Roc-It machines but most could be thrown in the trash and I wouldn`t miss them.
As an aside,despite the pussy-ass weight I`m using, and a shoulder that`s acting up,and the nitwits that train there,it feels damn good to be back in the gym.

This probably means you fix most of you own meals.
I was married to my wonderful wife for almost 51 years. There is nothing better. I'd give anything to have her by my side still. Even if it meant eating less healthy.

Seriously, Wes has forgotten more about bodybuilding than most of the assholes on here will ever know!!

Talking about old school, guys use to put cottage cheese in a blender with water and drink it that way. Can taste like butter milk. Easier than spoon feeding it to yourself. Some added pineapple or papaya (canned or fresh) in the blender with the water. Pineapple & papaya have bromelain which is an excellent aid for digestion. Can also buy bromelain tablets. Butter milk it's self used to be another old school muscle builder.
Some also added a small can of tuna with tomato juice, pineapple juice, etc and drank that stuff a couple times a day. One thing about the above, it should not bloat anyone up because the drinks were sipped rather that chug-a-lugged quickly. Easier on the digestion and stomach.
Of course with all the modern supplement, and 'roids..etc, some of those old school tricks have been passed by. For guys on a budget, just might be workable.
Good Luck.

Put some chopped up canned pineapple in it.......not bad but it`s an aqquired taste.
Eat for nutrition my brother from CT. not for taste!! ;)

I like your workouts like me your volume ,,I see sometimes you do more movements or just say 3 but still do 12-16 sets of the 3 movements ...glad you reconnected in this,,your ols school like me train/eat/diet everything else 2nd or 3rd :P..
Great minds think alike Steve........besides if I did an abbreviated routine after all these decades of training,I wouldn`t even feel it.

Wes is from the school that burned down before the "old school" was built!!
I truly am !! LOL :D
-
Seriously, Wes has forgotten more about bodybuilding than most of the assholes on here will ever know!!
Yeah but at my age,I also forget my name and where the bathroom is!! LOL :(

Talking about old school, guys use to put cottage cheese in a blender with water and drink it that way. Can taste like butter milk. Easier than spoon feeding it to yourself. Some added pineapple or papaya (canned or fresh) in the blender with the water. Pineapple & papaya have bromelain which is an excellent aid for digestion. Can also buy bromelain tablets. Butter milk it's self used to be another old school muscle builder.
Some also added a small can of tuna with tomato juice, pineapple juice, etc and drank that stuff a couple times a day. One thing about the above, it should not bloat anyone up because the drinks were sipped rather that chug-a-lugged quickly. Easier on the digestion and stomach.
Of course with all the modern supplement, and 'roids..etc, some of those old school tricks have been passed by. For guys on a budget, just might be workable.
Good Luck.
Excellent advice as usual you walking plethora of knowledge!! ;)

I can`t wait to get away from these baby poundages but they feel heavy after a 15 month imposed layoff eating garbage so got my own self to blame.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,besides as I always say sometimes,"if it feels heavy,it is heavy" !!
This is really only the 3rd. week of training as the first week was just 2 days upper body followed by lower body, as I knew I`d be as sore as hell for 3-5 days and I was. :(
May jump on some HRT doses of Test in a few more weeks but got plenty of gains to make being clean as MUSCLE MEMORY is kicking in.
One thing`s for certain never again will I quit training.
The last time I did this was in the 70`s when I was in the throes of my alcoholism.
Other than that it`s been lots of contests with very few breaks in competing and none in training.
Thanks for reading guys and thanks for the support.
I gotta` get around to reading everyone else stuff but my finger hurts!
WHEW!!! ;D

Fortunately I like the taste of cottage and the taste of tuna. I can eat these items right out of the container with nothing added. Sometimes add a little salt and pepper or some lemon juice to the tuna.

Wes - a few questions
are you on a zero fat diet or are you adding in any fats such as olive oil or fish oil
are you timing your rest between sets ( I recall another post where you said you train very fast)
at some point will you train each bodypart more than once a week?
are you on Week 5 now. You seem to have done Week 4 over again?
-
Wes - a few questions
are you on a zero fat diet or are you adding in any fats such as olive oil or fish oil
I`m not one to add many fats into the diet as so many do these days.
I`m a firm believer that we get enough trace fats from our food......ie.,egg yolks,chicken,beef etc.I do however add a bit of olive oil at times when I eat fish and I alsdo indulg in rice cakes with small amounts of natty peanut butter.
are you timing your rest between sets ( I recall another post where you said you train very fast)
No not always,I don`t get too anal about it but usually start another set right before I`m fully recovered.
I also do Super-Sets,Giant-Sets,Drop-Sets,Rest Pause,Running the Rack,etc. etc.
Any kind of intensity technique that I think helps me to improve.
at some point will you train each bodypart more than once a week?
Probably only calves and abs.............I get burnt out training every day even if I have 3 heavy days followed by 3 lighter days.
are you on Week 5 now. You seem to have done Week 4 over again?
Actually today truly starts Week # 4 as my first "week" was training only 2 days due to soreness.

Maintaining good health through fitness and diet is not narcissistic. Liking the visual results probably is though. I say whatever it takes to keep one going to the gym week after week, year after year is good even a little narcissism. Looking fit is contagious too. My daughter said she wants to try the gym again and asked if she could go with me sometime this week. I think she likes that her old pop has lost weight and is looking pretty healthy these days. You are never too old to stay in shape.
Remember, I'm going to be a great-grandfather come October. The family line continues. Not only that, it's a boy who will have the family name I'm guessing because my grandson in-law took my granddaughter's name instead of her taking his. Modern times!

I don't understand how anyone could follow this diet for very long. There is hardly any variety. It's boiled chicken with either a cup of rice or a cup of green beans. If I ate like this, I'd give up eating altogether. Variety is the spice of life and when it comes to food, it is also healthy. I don't believe I've ever had boiled chicken. How do you get it down without gagging? Did you mean broiled? I have had chicken and dumplings, but you don't boil the chicken, you simmer it in chicken stock or water with celery, onions, carrots and seasoning in it. When it is done, you make a gravy out of the stock. It's very moist and tasty. I like lots of pepper on it.
As for protein shakes there are a few different kinds. Lately, I've been having a pea protein shake as a snack or extra meal every now and then. They have premade protein shakes at the gym if I want one after my workout. They keep them refrigerated so they are nice and cold. When I make one at home, I use chilled water. As far as snacking, I sometimes go for a glass of V-8 juice. No protein to speak of, but loads of fiber and hardly any calories.

I boil the chicken slowly over a long time period.......tastes fine,plus gets out a lot of fat.
If you boil it quickly,it comes out rubbery.
Just the price I have to pay to be able to compete once again.
Winning my NABBA pro-card is my goal and I will not be deterred.
Thanks Prime for making me hungry!! :(

All milk, including flavored milk, contains a unique combination of nutrients important for growth and development in kids, and for optimal health and disease prevention in adults. Flavored milk has all of the major nutrients found in unflavored milk—calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, protein, riboflavin, niacin and vitamins A, B12 and D—and contributes only 3% of added sugars to your diet. Too bad I never like the taste of flavored milk.

Thanks Gene,I just hit Wal-Mart.............I read a study once that said most wheys are manufactured at the same plants and sold to different companies who put their own labels on it and jack up the price.

Wonder if Wes died or is on life support after saying he was going to attempt squats ... being eons away from them and all that? Is RIP in order?
-

Do you have a shopping list for the week or a list of staples you buy? Seems every day you have different little condiments/addons.???

JPM,I get up at around 3-4 AM to hit the gym by 6 AM before I go to work..........squats were cancelled..........just didn`t feel up to training at all,was lucky I did `cause I had a great leg day sans squats.

Then I better start drinking more milk....my skin is looking wrinkly and bumpy these days. Smooth might be an improvement. ;D

Glad to see your back and not addicted to endless daily post on GB, which most really amount to nothing much anyway. Some of these guy's workout ..well, ya just got to wonder...WTF..
Experience counts, and looking forward to you sharing yours. Though there is danger that some people here may actually learn something of value from you.
Good Luck.

Don't want to take up space here, this is Wes's site about his training. Refer you to my my section, my ideas all laid out there....good or bad.
Just to note; I like the sound of the clang and rattle of plates and the thud of DB's hitting the floor. Music to my ears. Which means I enjoy lifting heavy and the challenge of it. But also do lighter stuff, as GVT, 8x8's, etc..for the sake of preserving my joints and the important of the change of pace received. Also observe that most men train too much (too long of a workout) and too often (too many training days a week), not allowing the CNS and recovery to catch up to them. But than again, to each his own.
Good Luck.
