Nice. Anytime you're available, I have four dogs you can walk. Living in the hills of West Linn, walking them here is quite the cardio workout. Just getting their collars on is something of a workout since they get so excited whenever they know they are going for a walk.

you have a condition so that's why..as long as your managing it..

well at the Hospital tomorrow morning for my pre Colonoscopy talk/check in. Get my "Clean Prep" that i drink.    Just a talk before my appointment where i Get my rear end violeted  still i gotta do it.

This is absolutely not may favorite procedure. The prep is the worst part though. At least when they stick the roto-rooter up my rear end, I am knocked out. I only have to do this once every five years, thank goodness.

When I went in for the pre-visit, I got turned down for the procedure because I was having an episode of atrial flutter. I explained what it was to the physician's assistant, but he acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. He told me I had to get it cleared by my primary care physician. So here I am a couple of months later, the prep kit is in the cupboard and I have yet to reschedule the colonoscopy. I'll get right on it....soon.

The usual back and chest routine today but after getting 19 pull ups on my first set it was difficult to do more/  The next two sets were both maxed out at 6 reps each set.  I included 3 sets of T-Bar rows to mix  things up and also cable crossovers for my chest instead of DB flyes.  It was a good workout.

Not great, just good.  Nothing wrong with good.  Tomorrow will be shoulders and arms.  I did only one set of shrugs last time so tomorrow I will up a bit with 2 or 3 sets of DB shrugs.

Hope everything works out okay in your test Donny.

Same here.  I've had the test procedure a few times in my life.   You are a good man deserving of a long and healthy life with those you love and who love you.

Yesterday I ran a hard 5 miles. I was so exhausted that my left hand was shaking bad like Parkinson's. It went away after about 20 minutes but I found it disturbing. Wife wants me to see a doc.

Today I trained chest and arms. No warm ups listed.

Bench 2 x 6 then 1 x 1 (I'm hell bent on ruining my shoulder)
Incline bar bench 2 x 6
Flat Flies 2 x 10
Push ups 2 x max

EZ bar curl 2 x 10
Straight bar pulley curls 2 x 10
Concentration curls 2 x 12

Weighted dips 2 x 6
regular tricep pushdowns 2 x 10
Single arm reverse grip holding a D handle tricep extensions 2 x 12

four arm wrist curls 2 x 20
reverse wrist extensions 2 x 15

Weighted crunch with legs on bench 1 x 50
Pulley crunches 2 x 30

Ivanko gripper 2 x 20

Took a couple hour break and ran 8 x 400 meter repeats. Left hand shook a little this time but not much.

Trying to lift every other day. I have high hopes of being to be able to have a cardio day and a lifting day. Using a three day split now. 1. chest and arms. 2. legs and finally 3. back and delts.  Trying not to be so competitive about increasing the weight and hopefully be happy with slow progression. I follow a pattern of training like a lunatic then burning my self out. Hopefully I will use a slower progression so I can keep a good cardio program.

I had a business lunch with two fellow board members today who look really out of shape. They started talking about hitting the gym, I felt left out because....well you get it. Tomorrow, come hell or high water I am going to the gym. Nothing is going to stop me. This is ridiculous! Someone slap me upside my head.

[Charlys69]

i hit the Gym yesterday....and tomorrow again....it´s like breathing air, drinking water, eating breakfast...longest breaks in more than 34 years lasted about 3 weeks (after injuries....).

Training now close to 35 years, been 51 yrs + some months young , 6 "2,5" inch tall , yesterday 258 lbs. drugfree/Natural. Starting dieting down about 20-25 lbs. (i guess it takes about 12-15 weeks). Started a moderate carb (400g), high Protein-diet (300 g), medium-fat (50-70g) 5 days ago at 260 lbs.
Did a latspread "just for fun" yesterday in the middle of back training.
