[Kurt]

In..... 48 yrs. old.

I have done this weekly split, and really like it with my hectic work schedule.
My workouts usually last about 45 minutes.

I) Chest and Biceps
II) Traps and Back
III) Shoulders and Triceps
IV) Calves and Legs (  prioritizing Hams).

My workout strategy prioritizes bringing up weak areas, and
longevity. I never have a problem enjoying working out, even without a partner. I get obsessed with my career, and it is difficult at times working out consistently.

Welcome Kurt with a K..This isn't my younger Brother is it? 
Oh yeah he's 54. Glad to have you..Ken

Thanks for the welcome Ken, and njflex. One downside to not having a workout partner is I really have no one locally to help keep learning from to improve. I am hoping this forum can help provide that support I am lacking.
My 6 month goal is not complicated. I simply want to make it to the gym consistently. A consistent diet will follow suit naturally. I have spent the past 5 years working feverishly for a new career, which is finally taking off. Now that it is, I can prioritize working out moreso.

so what are you all doing for New Year? itīs traditional for us scots to get drunk as a Skunk.. . I will have a few beers but i never drink hard stuff.. no fire water Whisky..lol. i will spend it with a friend and Family.

[Primemuscle]

jay i need those orange underwear u have....

Well, I would disagree. You have the wheels I wish I had to cram into mine. If you really want a pair they are made by Adidas. They are crazy comfortable and not expensive. I have several pair in various color combos. If you can't find them locally, I'll send you some, fresh in the original package (no homo,  ). Just promise me you won't post up your wheels in orange Adidas on Getbig and show me up.

This morning I did 4 sets of 25 kickbacks, 4 sets of 20 bodyweight only squats, 4 sets of 25 seated leg raises, 4 sets of 25 leg extensions and for sets of 20 flat hand toe touches. I am only two more physical therapy sessions away from hitting the gym and becoming the monster in my mind. Watch out buddy! You are still my challenge and my inspiration.

My wife and I have a long history of staying home and doing nothing special on New Year's eve. This year will be no different. My wife doesn't drink and heavens knows I shouldn't drink as much as I do (bodybuilding related). Our traditional New Year's dinner is cheese fondue. Since I fix dinner most often, I think I will once again fix cheese fondue with a green salad. Truth be told, one or both of us will be sound asleep by the time the clock brings in the New Year. Yeah I know this sounds boring to you youngsters who like to party, but it isn't all that bad. At least neither of us will wake up in the drunk tank.

I WISH THE MATURE THREAD A GREAT NEW YEAR...

[Kurt]

I hit chest and biceps after work last night.

Tonight, my wife and I are heading to the gym, and I will do abs and cardio. Then we plan on heading out for dinner, and back home at a decent hour.

Have a safe and fun new year's eve everyone.

Damn my wife made Veal Marsala, Shrimp Scampi, Caesar Salad, fresh Italian bread from that bakery in Newark. Looks like Delts/Traps on New Years Day with my Brother. Stay safe Old Dudes. Ken

Happy New Year to all my mates around the world. Some of you have already begun the new year and others of us are still waiting for that magic moment.

As is tradition in our home, I fixed cheese fondue and salad, To insure the protein level was up to par, I added sautéed scampi. I even bought my honey some Baileys Irish Cream. She doesn't drink, but she's had a couple of glasses of Baileys....maybe we'll party for New Years. She is Irish, after all, what better drink to get her in the mood.
