Title: My current workout routine...
Post by: Howard on June 04, 2015, 07:34:00 AM
Typical workout routine ( yesterday):
1.Do mostly Hammer type machines, followed by 30 min of
fast walking on the incline treadmill.

2. Spend 20 min in my hot tub on the back deck of my home , relax and enjoy my Mt view.

3. Grill out some small pcs of meat on the gas grill 2-3x a day, dogs get a little too  :D

4. Hike in the Ga Mts or kayak on one of the lakes with the wife on weekends

That's it. No desire to ever wear a thong again on stage or diet too strict ever again.

Sometimes truth is stranger then fiction. :-\
My only regret is that I will no longer leave the bronze ring on the toilet seats backstage at a contest  again.

Sounds like a fun, active lifestyle.  Wish I could find an active vocation that paid well... I take it you're retired? :D

Nope, not retired , I teach physics at a medium size  college.
I'm older now and tenured, so I don't teach summer sessions any longer.

The wife makes the real $$ and my current salary is pretty avg around 70k now. I need to commute an hr each way for my job , but I love where we live . She got transferred to this corp. banking office a few years ago, OUTSIDE of ATL.

We recently moved to our current home on the side of a Mt in north Ga.

Yeah, I'm doing a bit of shameless bragging and in all modesty think I've earned it .

The moral to my story is:
 Unlike trying to be an IFBB pro, just about any getbigger could end up with my lifestyle. You don't need genetic talent to do what my wife and I did, with our lives.
Just make sound decisions and show up to work each day in a field you can make a decent living in.
Pretty simple.

I have a petite sirloin on the grill and a baked potato in the microwave.
After I eat and digest :
1. Drive down the Mt to the small 24 hr gym nearby and do arms, abs and cardio.

2. Soak in my hot tub

3. Eat more grilled meat

4. Watch DVR* of 1st game in NHL final from last night.
* skip commercials and no need to stay up to watch it all.


5. When the wife gets home, eat again and try to get lucky*
* note to self - avoid farting until after you get it. ;)

That looks ideal.  Trail/river running would be amazing there.

That's why you look like shit  , you act like you have a great life but you don't , you're bored and depressed ,the  highlight of your day is posting  about farts on Getbig.

                                                                  I hope this helps.

LOL, I figured this kind of bored lifestyle issue would show up at some point.

1. BUT at my age , I'd look pretty pathetic going to night clubs or pool parties trying to hit on 21 -25 yr old hottys. Most younger get-biggers would get bored with my old fart lifestyle.

2. I agree, my current physique couldn't beat Shizzo in the Mr Howard's basement contest.

3.I was never an elite athlete, but I competed enough to know the reason why they go for it.
I'm content to sit back , watch and cheer on those who want to go for it.
1st game of the NBA finals is tonight, should be a good one.


My lifestyle isn't for anyone trying to accomplish fame or fortune.
BUT, I still harbor the will to out fart every get-bigger who dares blow gas .
