Time for an old dude to step it up

[oldmusclemike]

OMG, OD... you always throw some humor in there I like it. I think it's pretty cool how some of us have gotten to know each other a bit.

I agree man. The sides of low or high E2 can be real confusing. I'm going to get BW today ( type II diabetic) and they will run my Test and Estradiol for me. I'm having "E" problems cause I went from cycle to c***se and didn't lower my AI then picked back up to low cycle and I am juts bewildered at where my E2 is at. I have a few sides going on but ??? AND for me I usually have the side effects understanding by my body.

Time to get it checked out and stop assuming.... Keep it up OD

 

[casanovaaa]

Once in a while I need to be centered again. A good friend reminded me, "time under tension. Stop chasing max weights". Thanx P.B. ;-)

wise words and totally agree, and your joints will thank you latter for it as well and last you longer to take care of you in your older age.

It takes some cohunas to stick a nail 16 gauge in your arm for sure.


have you tried squatting with a bar? the dumbells video looked awkward. your feet should be slightly wider than shoulder width. it looks like you bow your knees in so the dumbells slide by.

 

[Old Duffer]

Can't do a straight bar. Back injury forever limiting. Wish we had that bar you showed a while back that you step thru? I'd like to try that. My knees suck too btw lol!

Helping girls learn the machines.... Sure...... because those machines are so fucking complicated.

"And you adjust the seat like this" as he leans ever so slightly across her body. "Oh, you have such big hands" she says as she squirms in the seat

 

[appleton111]

Helping girls out with the machines is the main reason i go to the gym, and its especially sweet when they are wearing their yoga stretch pants. does wonders for my eye muscles, which also need a good workout now and then.

 

[Old Duffer]

Well. Shoulda figured. About this time every year I catch some bug. At first I thought it was the triple proviron so I dropped it and everything else not required. That wasn't it. Stomach on fire. Slept days n days. Then wifee gets it... and I know it's some bug!

THEN I find out all my wife's friends either have it or had it! So today was my first day back. Leg day. Sweaty, weak, exhausted but a good day nonetheless
