Back in the 1990's there was a guy at Golds Gym Venice that would lift 1,000,000 pounds each year on his birthday.

Late 40's. Just a fitness/exercise nut job.

Showed up at 4am when the joint opened and finished his "million pounds" around 9 pm I seem to recall.

Wrote down every set. Lots of stuff like...

Angled leg press 300 x 30
Low pulley rows 150 x 20
Standing calve raises 350 x 10

For the week afterwards he would walk around showing people his workout book. Nice enough guy.

I think that he squatted 225 x 100 over the course of several sets. Same with the rest...

...for my 35th birthday!

225 x 100 squat
275 x 100 deadlift
115 x 100 overhead press
150 x 100 dumbbell bench

ceph is now bald, washed, and needs to clean his shower door

You look like the Gerber baby

[Grape Ape]

what a waste of fucking time

Go way scrooge. 

He did a personal challenge on his birthday and nailed it.

I'm sure this isn't regular training.

True Adonis would do this workout in four sets.

Looking lean and in great shape. Sounds like a brutal workout.

[King Shizzo]

Jason Statham lowered the dose.

[TheFranchise]

So by workout, you mean you ate 35 calories and also threw them up right after with your eating disorder?

[ZOD]

He does these workouts so he can binge 6k calories without guilt 

[deadz]

what a waste of fucking time

Haha... these days I eat about 3500 calories per day, I guess. I don't really count anymore. I try to get 1000 active calories each day on my watch. I work out way less than I used to, that's for sure. A typical workout is 50-100 working reps on a main exercise, a half-assed secondary exercised, and some abs. Takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. I do that three days on, one day off.

Jason Statham lowered the dose.

How's it going, Shizzo? Sober?

Looking lean and in great shape. Sounds like a brutal workout.

Thanks rob, actually wasn't that bad... just grueling.

Sounds exhausting brutal if true let us know how your body recovers from it the next few days

Feeling good. Still a little sore in my back, but nothing serious.

Looking good dude .. impressive “work capacity” 

Thanks PV. These days I can't make many new PRs, but it's still fun to make random challenges once in a while.

Your joins and lower back will thank you in few years.
Keep going all basics and destructives free weight exercises.

Happy birthday

If by "in a few years," you mean, "since my early 20s," I agree. Can you recommend some joint-sparing workouts? I've had to get creative in my old age. During the "pandemic" I stopped working out at the gym for a year, just did bodyweight exercises in the park, with some bands and kettlebells at home, now and then. To my surprise, I didn't lose any strength! Within two or three weeks back in the gym, I was stronger than I had been. I guess I'm probably a chronic "overtrainer".

Great Job ‼️‼️

Thank you, Royalty.

what a waste of fucking time

Merry Christmas!

Looking awesome and healthy mate hope the health issues are well in the past

Thanks Henda. Hope you're doing well, too.

looking good

Thanks FF! never thought I would show up with Sev and Tbombz. I guess we're all destined for memehood at some point.

If my mom had a basement, it would be much nicer than my apartment. Never go full go4it, they said... but I didn't listen.

Thanks my neuro-atypical friend. Im glad to hear you are up for a similar feat. I feel pretty good, it was actually easier than I was expecting. I did a couple 100 and 150 rep squat workouts with 225 to prepare in the preceding months, and honestly the 150 was harder. I had a hard time falling asleep that night, and thought I may have contracted the dreaded "rhabdo" (oh brother).

I made sure to take it easy yesterday and the day prior (no running). That helped a lot! Ordinarily I am more stiff due to running.

I would say shoot for 60-70% of your 1RM when choosing the weights. Anything less than that would probably be too easy. You might also want to pick a 5th exercise, since you have more tonnage to do. Or do more reps at a lower weight per exercise.

I hope I can do 40 tons when Im your age! Happy upcoming birthday!

Thanks cephissus! But it was shockingly hard, and I failed it pretty badly. However, I am confident that one workout alone will make me that much more likely to finish it next time. 

Our birthdays are so close, that I decided to try to copy you on the fly without adequate rest. My chest was not recovered from a heavy workout just prior to trying my hand at your workout.

That being said...I am 100% certain I would have missed no matter what.

I'm glad I tried it though - because it made me realize how much I regressed due to the gym closures we had here in Canada. 

I'm not sure why anyone would say this workout is a waste of time - of course this workout isn't a typical workout. That's the point! But man...did I ever realize how out of shape I am in some ways.

It's all a trade-off: if we want to be our leanest, we lose strength. If we want to be our strongest, we lose speed, etc.

I like the idea of doing your challenge, because I think it's one good indicator of overall fitness, IMO.

I know it's unconventional - but I HIGHLY received other Getbiggers give it a shot! 

Out of curiosity, are you in that condition year 'round?
