I like lifting heavy, therefore I´m now using machines a lot more in the gym (to protect my joints, which have always been smaller/smallish, but this does frick up other areas- especially the shoulder for me).

In my day, my bench was 335, squat was probably 380, and deadlift, I´m thinking slightly over 350. All I remember with exactitude is bench.

I´m pretty disciplined, try to vary or mix it up, and am quite pleased with my physical being. Mental, well, that´s another issue, isn´t it?

It's the only fair way to settle this dispute once and forever. The grease don't lie.

I hope there are women involved.

Women for what?

I got an invite back in 2008, when I first started competing, to do a bodybuilding show in Lake Charles.
The details were there were 5 competitors, all men, and it was at one of their houses.
I was like.....

theres actually a bunch of medical science that shows that cardio endurance training is increasingly bad for you as you age, and strength training with heavy weights is better.

I'm back in the 1000 pound club after about an 8 year hiatus from it. Basically, I had an non-weight lifting injury that took me out for a bit and when I returned, I turned to other types of workouts to include crossfit. But, I think I have always liked being the powerful little fricker that surprises people, so, here I go again.

I'd love to make it to the 1200 pound club but that may be a bridge too far which is all good. I mean, I am an old fart.

What's a respectable bicep curl on an EZ Curl for someone at 165+ pounds?

You look pretty massive

I had to shut down last spring for a few months after a near miss on preacher curls.

I was working through an early set of 110 or so and I felt my left shoulder tweak forward. I put the weight down immediately. I thought, initially, that I may have torn/strained a bicep tendon, but I believe I had a subluxation of the left shoulder that healed over time with rest and Advil.
