I bet half of you didn't even lift today

I understand, I’m 44 been going since 14 with no breaks either. I’m prob the hardest training guy at the gyms I go to but your intensity and stuff you do is very impressive.

Training is a release valve for stress.  I also look at it as not wanting one day to be an old F and say - wow I could have been better if I only /. . . . .

Just make sure you are not saying "If I had just listened to my body I wouldnt have had a heart attack"

Kudos for doing what you love but you cant beat time

Fat pos have heart attacks who do nothing.  Nothing is guaranteed.

Im 47 - I started at 13.   Never a single break in training.  Its a matter of needling in on what works best for you.  I get fat easily.  So I do a lot more volume and calorie burning stuff than maybe someone who is naturally leaner or ecto type should do.  Its what works for me right now.   Would I do this at 16-18-20 if I were going for strict hypertrophy?   No.

Same, asked for (and got) weight set and bench for Xmas 1978 (I was 12). Been an addict ever since. Piecing together and building and changing my home gyms over the decades,
also a passion...
Never took time away from it. At 56, its been 44 years now and my passion for training has not subsided a bit.
Looking FWD to when it does though (maybe). 

A stress-reliever for sure, you arent kidding there. Keep on breathing defiance!

I haven't lifted in 8 days.

Been on vacation.

Did plenty of hiking and mountain biking in the mountains.

Your body will thank you.

You're basically doing a week of active recovery.

Well put.  And you are undeniably badass.  Are you ex-military?

For the record, straps are gay.

Only when they have a rainbow pattern.

Yeah i like to take a week or two off a few times a year.

I've learned it's more beneficial to take a few breaks.

That's the Italian in you.
I can't imagine you plumping up, you put far too much effort into what you do to slip like that.

Walter Sobchak has stated that Josh Avesher scams people, and there are threads/posts on getbig of Avesher asking for money/scamming people.

Walter Sobchak - point out ONE SINGLE post/thread on here from any time in history where Josh Avesher has ever asked for money, or ever scanned anyone.

Just one.

Such a post/thread doesn't exist because Josh Avesher has never scammed anyone.

But please post evidence proving your libel against Josh Avesher.

Thanks.

I work out 90 minutes a day - that dude is crazy!

Serious cyclists and triathletes are pretty crazy with their training volume.  Even at the amateur level, weeks of 20+ hours of training are not unusual.

Obsession is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated !

Pfft.. 20 hours???
Bro's at our gym brag how they are there 3 hrs a day, 7 days a week!! 
I told one guy "ya, but you dont know how to train, and flap your gums for 2.5 hours of it".

He's a buddy, so he sort of laughed I guess (knowing its the truth)...

This.

If you time the amount of work done but those guys, it's minimal.

That's why if you design a workout that actually incorporates an hour of actual exercise, they gas.

I printed out one of SC's old workouts that had you do a 45 sec to a minute straight of an exercise, then 15 sec rest, then repeat with a new exercise.....for 45 min to an hour.

It was f'n brutal, but got me in good shape fast.

Been walking 18-23,000 steps per day

I am very focused while training but also see what others are doing.  Most don't do jack FNG squat to get good results and rarely push themselves.  They look the same year after year and avoid the hard stuff for the vanity stuff.
