Advanced Age Lifting Rolling on 62
@Poppy Great work! As far as I’m aware you have been at it regularly for many years and all that work clearly shows. I know so many 30 year olds (hell even some in their 20s), that you’d run circles around. I was at a middle school track meet the other day and just seeing the decline in just...- Shock6050

Reliable source
💯. Though likely more expensive, to me it usually provides better piece of mind when package is on its way!- Shock6050

Àpril 12 edition of diets and bodybuilding
These daily logs are some of my favorites. Great way to start of your day. Also based on the responses from others I try to reproduce some of the food into my morning. My breakfast was a 5 egg (3 whites, 2 whole) omelet with peppers, onions, a bit of feta cheese, and spinach. 1 cup Kodiak high...- Shock6050

A bit late
Welcome! Curious on your current goals at ~250 lbs. Current height and estimate BF%? Working on a body transformation or primarily increasing size/strength? Lots of great information from these guys. Best of luck through your journey!- Shock6050

No plates required!
For some reason my tablet wouldn’t let me log in the site over the past week or so but found a way around it (though I don’t using my phone vs iPad). Anyhow sorry for not posting and I miss hearing all the new topics and conversations. Things have been crazy at work and hone. All is good though...- Shock6050

Back after a little hiatus- new toy - ISO Lever Arms
Yeah, with the levers I was hesitant to get them as they are pricey. However there is so much variation that mimics almost all hammer strength machines. Definitely not essential, but is awesome to use to add in some variety!- Shock6050

Back after a little hiatus- new toy - ISO Lever Arms
Kids got ahold of the chalk which I keep up high but find a way. Also leaves make their way in. Need to invest in a cheap leaf blower!- Shock6050

Back after a little hiatus- new toy - ISO Lever Arms
Here’s a few setups I’ve done thus far. Didn’t have a pic but an overheating standing shoulder press works great. The challenge with presses directly out or slightly above is I need to put a couple 100lb plates behind the bench or it will move. One work around is attaching the crossmember for my...- Shock6050

Back after a little hiatus- new toy - ISO Lever Arms
Yeah been messing around with the lever arms a lot and really can mimic almost any hammer strength machine now which I usually use for accessory work after main barbell or dumbbell lifts, but sometimes will switch it up and do 4-5 heavy sets at the beginning. Just have to be creative using...- Shock6050

Blood Donation - past due! COMPLETE
Yeah at this point I’m doing it more to help others as O blood supply seems to be pretty low. Donating double reds every 4 months or so (that’s the most you can do due to the amount) has never been an issue aside from the time they wrecked my arm up! Plan to keep it up. -
Blood Donation - past due! COMPLETE
@NeuroRN is always my default for most all things medical or research specific! We are very lucky to have him here 👍 -
Blood Donation - past due! COMPLETE
Just curious is there a specific recent publication addressing this view? Makes illogical sense if not elevated though….just haven’t seen the specific research. Could just send a pubmed citation if you have it handy! -
Blood Donation - past due! COMPLETE
Makes sense as long as you know your current blood values. I’m also overdue for a full metabolic panel (been a few months and values were just a bit higher than normal so thought better safe than sorry!), but wanted to get this done now as it’ll take awhile to get my next test complete and... -
Blood Donation - past due! COMPLETE
Yeah me neither. No excuse…just put it off even though I know it’s generally good for my health let alone helping others. Surprised they haven’t rolled up in the blood mobile based on the number of calls and emails I’ve been getting as I have that golden O blood. -
Blood Donation - past due! COMPLETE
Been a bit but finally got my double reds donated today. Hematocrit and RBC have typically been a bit elevated (not so much now that I’m not on cycle). However, always strongly suggest donating blood especially if you have prior history being enhanced as well as if you have a genetic... -

Weight lifting belt suggestions?
Then if looking for a belt squat belt not just for belt squats but also weighted dips or pull-ups, definitely go with Spud. Was recommended to me on here and glad I asked! -
Weight lifting belt suggestions?
I second Pioneer! Great belt that should last forever. -

I think tight is still used but “cool” has been phased out. I’ve had to learn so many abbreviations from my son texting. Also emojis mean various things. This emoji took me a bit to get it means dying laughing. 💀- Shock6050

Back after a little hiatus- new toy - ISO Lever Arms
Haha all good. My oldest is about to start high school so got a tour of the gym. Came back to me and said he can do way more stuff in my half 2 car garage when he saw all the fluff equipment they have there. Just have to be creative. All the machine equipment in gyms that really just do one...- Shock6050
