**Very light day. Its been a year since bench pressing and about two months since being in the gym (life happens). If shoulder continues to be pain free I plan on making an attempt to compete again later this year. We wil see...

TweetI know you hate to hear this but I will always say no one care how much you can lift. It is about not getting hurt and looking good. Good luck on your log buddy.

TweetWhen you compete it is about how much you can lift. I have zero interests in aesthetics, abs or separation. Im not a bodybuilder by any definition.

Get your lift on!

TweetLooks good to me, but you already know I am a BIG FAN. Get looking more BEASTLY than ever. Still love your avatar.

TweetHit it hard as always big man

TweetI'm your biggest fan bro and you already know that. If you can compete again that would be terrific. However the most important thing is your health. You only have one body bro. Treat it good.

TweetGotcha brother. I just got to do what drives me. Training smarter this time. If it doesn't work this time we will sit down and drafta plan your way.

Tweeti would say a combo of different things could help keep you on the platform max. from an anabolics stand point, keeping npp and eq pretty much rear round with one of the other. fish oil and other anti inflammatory supps to keep the joints as healthy as possilbe. from a pre hab rehab stand point getting graston deep tissue and good chiro work done as often as possible. from a training side, i would say look at what the top older dudes do. those guys are all jacked up and are still going. maybe you can take some of what they do and it may help you in training and preperation while keeping you healthy and able to perform.

Just curious on your leg lifts do you ever do higher reps. Aside from leg extensions everything looks to be in the 3-5 rep range. I know your working on strength and that is the ideal range to stay in, but I have seen some lifters do a finishing set or exercise with higher reps and was just curious on your thoughts on this. Thanks!

I rarely do. Once I finish I'm finished. Joints been sore, so I'm easing into it. I'll up the reps on the lighter sets as I get used to the weight again. Getting old sucks. Lol

And remember, if it's over 5 reps it's cardio!

I totally love you Max. You just told me over 5 reps is cardio, that means I'm doing cardio during my whole workout. I don't have to be a treadmill donkey?

TweetLooks good brotha. Looking forward to following your training log and hopefully seeing you back on the platform.

Thanks Brother. Everything seems to be falling in place with no major pain issues. Just a whole lot of DOMs from the 4+months off. I will be training a lot different from now on. Im easing into this as not to aggravate things by jumping off the deep end and pushing things to the limits.
