i love Frank Sinatra..

I like Frank's singing too, even though he was more of a star in my parent's day. The Beatles were popular in my day. The odd thing is that I didn't much care for their music, although I do like some of it today. I was listening to Macy Gray today while I worked out. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqfq6_macy-gray-i-try_music#.UYRqzZ3n8qI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHaz1foH1cc&NR=1&feature=endscreen http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=6Qr0D5S2GxE&feature=endscreen

i am hoping to get back to a 5 day split next week...i just love an arm day on it´s own. well the weekend is here and i will have a good rest. had a good Barbecue yesterday evening and a few beers...LOL got to be done.. an old Army buddy was here and we talked into the early hours and got fairly drunk. i think i have convinced him to start walking as he is getting rather fat. First met him around 87 and he was very fit then. showed him getbig and he found it funny.. also showed him Jay´s picture and said look at that..he did say respect. Hope he does learn because he is now Diabetic.

Sad to hear, my dad died of Diabetic complications. Type II can sometimes be reversed with proper diet and exercise, problem is Diabetic's have no energy and feel like shit most of the time it takes a real effort to get them to eat right and exercise.

yes i mean he is younger than me.. may 29th i´m 47 he is 44. really has piled on the weight. He has a dog and used to go for an hour walk every day but now it´s just 5 mins round the corner... he does not work either and is always at the Doctor. he was in the Infantry and a good boxer too. I will make a point of kicking his ass in the near future.

Yes kick his ass in future it's tough to lose a good friend.

yes i will have to start slowly with walking and then i will take him in the Gym. He has never trained with weights just old style body weight stuff that we did in the Army. However i will get him in shape.. he is a good friend. Very loyal and trust worthy. Me and him got into a few scrapes together as young guys.. was very good with his hands ..boxing wise..

Thanks Steve.. yes he is a top guy just needs sorting... nice workout and you are really the tom platz here on leg training. I like the feet position on your squats and also you mentioned the foot position on the Hamstrings thread(leg press).. very intelligent and aware. as is Jay with the hack squat Hamstring variation...

really never knew that..

[njflex]

really never knew that..

i could never be yates nor would i drug myself to those amounts to try,,,but i respected his ability and his training and knowing how to go extremes to get there.he lived in england and trained there made people go there to get pics of him,he did not try to go 'venice'he trained to win,,

I am more like you training wise and mentality..well we all are here. I have to say that Dorian Yates was Good/Bad a turning point for Bodybuilding. His toughness and courage are not questionable. He is/was Hardcore to the bone and really opened doors for bodybuilders(along with Reg park) in the UK into the big wide open. To come and compete in the US. I never had the desire too look like him or the genetics to be like him..i could take all the drugs in the world and still never be Mr O like him. I like more Greg Plitt and fitness. my role models are Greg plitt,Frank zane, Bob Paris,lee Labrada,steve reeves.....why Greg Plitt? his motivation is great and i just like him and his ideas(no Homo )

[Donny]

[njflex]

Great legs.

Thanks, are you thinking of competing again?

[njflex]

Thanks, are you thinking of competing again?

i stay in shape so if the bug hits me i just adjust some things and go,,,i just think training and staying in top shape 'taking the bbing look aside dried out 3/4 pct look'maintaining a nice 8 pct is ideal,,,and still respectable...
