The Mature thread

[Primemuscle]

I will post up today's workout tomorrow. Overall, my workout sucked. My energy was off. There could be a number of reasons for this:

1. I am due for a testosterone shot on Monday.
2. It has been raining for the last several days.
3. I am overdoing it (if this is the case, it sucks).
4. It was just an off day.

Tomorrow I work quads and calves. My right knee has been giving me trouble all day, like I might have wrenched it. I think this has me a bit bummed out. I want legs like Steve. You have set the bar high and I want to be up for the challenge. This fucking knee pain will be gone tomorrow or I will just ignore it!

I rubbed some coconut oil in my eye by accident.    So now I have flat hat hair, marks from sunglasses on nose and a red bung eye.  Great....

lol,,true,,soon ,,i get good color a few times in sun,,,i just don't overdue it ,,no more tanning beds,

Tanning beds are dangerous.  God knows I have done my fair share though.  I don't do them anymore though.  I stick to the natural rays.

[Primemuscle]

I agree.  I always say the ones doing the accusing are usually the ones who are guilty of doing what they accuse others of.  It's the same as a cheater.  The one who cheats is always trying to catch their partner out and accusing them of crap and are usually jealous for no reason.  They know what they do and so they expect others to be doing it too or to be the same as them.  

In my experience, this has really proved to be true. Good friends of my wife and mine when we were much younger are a good example. The husband was insanely accusing his wife of cheating on him when all the while, it was he that was doing the cheating....bazar!

Bully for you...send some my way and I would gladly give up the tanning coffin. Did I ever mention that I am claustrophobic?

Gotta go now. My wife, daughter and I are going to watch the movie 7 psychopaths.....my daughter insists that it is a comedy.

Well Karen, I think that is easy to say since you know what I look like and I know what you look like....facially and to a degree otherwise too. Frankly you are way "prettier" than I am. Donny suggested we use our real names here, which takes away some of the anonymity, but on the other hand makes us all better friends. Friends trust each other. I think Donny is onto something here.

Let me tell you a funny story. Awhile back I was reading a post that included your photo when my wife was in the room. She kiddingly asked me if you were my girlfriend. I told her that yes, we were long distance friends, since you live on the other side of the world. I think I already mentioned that my wife and I are secure enough in our relationship that she knew I was kidding her. You'll get no nasty gram from her.

I agree with you on one aspect of what you told George, each of us has a different comfort zone and whatever one's is, is cool.

My intention was to have a serious thread for mature trainers and frendship.. i really did not expect such warm loving people on here...THANKS... you make it happen and i love reading posts here Daily.

Donny,

You have created a monster, but it is a wonderful monster. I see us all becoming fast friends and also sharing our training experiences to the benefit of all who come here. The mature forum on Getbig is like an island of sanity in a sea of insanity. I feel like I am forever in you debt for hatching this idea. You are an amazing and wonderful person. Your heart and your soul is what makes this forum work.

I am so thrilled to be here now, at this time in my life. Posting my daily workouts is hugely inspirational to me. What did you say about dying and dying fit? Maybe me more than anyone here realizes that death is eminent. I am okay with being old and maybe near the end of my time here in this life. We have a choice, which I have firsthand experience with. One can die a miserably slow death as my wife is doing. At best these people are fading away illness upon illness and too far gone to redeem their health. This is not the vision I have for myself. When I was in my late 30's I had an inguinal hernia repaired. The doctor said to my wife, "Your husband has the body of a teenager." How flattering was that?

I clearly no longer am as fit as a teenager,  I am in great shape though for an old man. I give credit to this because of a lifelong commitment to living a fit and healthy life which includes weight training.

If I have nothing more of value to offer to Donny's forum creation, I can offer that it is far better to die fit then to die suffering from ailments which for the most part resulted from ignoring the concepts of what makes one healthy.

Thank you Donny for creating a forum where folk who are serious about being healthy can post how they are working to maintain optimum heath via exercise and weight training.

You are an amazing fellow. I love you to bits (no homo, because this seems necessary to exclaim) because you cared enough and had the insight to realizes this was a subject for a forum that was truly needed. You are a visionary!

I am speechless Jay.. but i Fucking love you all...

Exactly. The cheaters know the game.

Interesting that something as natural as coconut oil would irritate your eye. I use coco butter on my skin. Is this different from coconut oil? The positive affects of cocobutter are almost immediate in my case. I may end up being the oldest man with the youngest skin, if I can remember to apply it daily.

How is your training going Donny? I can't recall seeing a pic of you in judging the GB 3 contest maybe it's my memory slowly going away.

I am an oil person but I know that cocoabutter is very moisturizing.  Its very good for your skin.  It seals the moisture in.  I love the sheen on the skin that oil gives you, plus I like to feel as though I am wearing something.

Just joking I don't hurt animals. Had two dogs and a cat once now down to one dog the other two died.

[Donny]

so today is a rest Day for me. Tomorrow i will go to the Gym and do some interval training. i enjoy the intensity. i will then do some Abs on the floor.

[Primemuscle]

Enjoy Jay, although it sounds like a thriller not a comedy. 

We never got around to watching it, so I don't know if it is thrilling or funny. Maybe tonight we will find out.

Friday - pecs:

ISO flat bench press, 5X12-4 @ 70 to 150 added weight
ISO incline bench press, 4X12-6 @ 70 to 140 added weight
ISO decline wide bench press, 4X12-5 @ 90 to 180 added weight
Nautilus weight assisted dips, 3X10-6 @ 116 to 156
Nautilus pec deck, 3X12-7 @ 76 to 116
Nautilus super pullover, 3X12-8 @ 100 to 140
Body Masters seated fly's, 3X10 @ 60 lbs.

Frankly, this was not my best workout this week. My energy levels were low for some reason. I need to find out exactly what the ISO equipment adds in terms of weight to the total resistance because it bums me out not being able to go heavier. On all three ISO exercises I did go to failure on the last set. Failure being unable to complete the movement fully.
