More psychological than physical
Age fucks with you mentally. No doubt. It can convince you, if you let it, to slow down and not push so hard. It makes you skeptical about pursuing challenges outside your comfort zone. In a sense, it forces you to come to grips with your own mortality and in turn cautions us to limit the risky shit and assures us playing it safe is the best way to go regardless of our physical capabilities. There might be some truth to it all, but I've decided I'm going to live the rest of my days by the old hippie mantra I heard so many years ago way back in the 60"s "IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT!
God bless the Lone Star state!

LOL! What a mind fuck. People are dumb enough to believe it! That's the hilarious part.
You are the salt of the earth my friend!
Well, here we go again... I HOPE!
I pray this time that my return won't be short lived. So many starts and stops. It's become a joke. Yet here I am attempting another return. I have no expectations but my will to continue motivates me.
From your lips to God's ears!

Am I too stupid or too stubborn. I know the risks involved yet I want to continue. All I can say is I feel most comfortable when I'm in the gym 5-6 days a week. I know recovery time is critical for the older iron athlete but I'd rather be in the gym doing what I do best than sitting around watching the grass grow. I guess what Im trying to say is "it ain't over, 'till it's over"!
Never thought I'd be that guy
Another year older, Another fucking issue. It seems like the deck is stacked against me. It isn't, I just think it is. I tell myself quit being such a whiny, little douche and go take care of business! A hollow effort is made another opportunity passes. I HATE to compromise when it comes to my training. I don't rely on training partners to motivate me so I train alone. All I require is that the GOOD LORD grants me the time I need to complete this journey.
It's the inconsistency that gets me!
At my age you can hardly expect everyday to be a great day. In a matter of fact great days are rare. So rare that I've redefined what a great day is for me. "These are a few of my favorite things"
Waking up ( this should be easy right? so NOT easy)!
Taking a leak (uninterrupted)
Taking a shit (in less than 45 minutes)
Eating (without some sort of digestive distress)
Walking (pain free)
Mind you this is the first few hours of my day!
AH, THE GOLDEN YEARS!
The life of an elderly bodybuilder is always intense!
Since returning everyday is a challenge. I'm going to take a shot at squatting this weekend. It should be interesting.
Not worth mentioning yet.
Quad day was a disaster! So until I'm capable of handling poundages worth mentioning I will refrain from posting numbers.
