What are your targets this year???

First topic message reminder :

You want to increase the weight of your lifts?? Maybe put on muscle....maybe lose weight??? Let us know your ambitions and then maybe we can
check back to see how we go!!

Looking for 6 reps on the incline dumbbell press with the 110 pounders......

Looking to move from 950 to 1000 pounds on the leg press for 6..............

that's basically it really...........can't do deads or squats anymore................

Well you have hit some very good numbers. I am 31, so I hope to improve for another few years yet.

You must be a monster with those lifts..

Im a decent size mate, but always kept as lean as possible.

I played North of England rugby, and went to the national trials for Athletics so I always trained for lean power and high strength endurance.

Add in all the Thai boxing ive done and it helps to keep the weight down to a degree....

Cheers Adam,

Might sound a silly question, but do you have a goal in relation to your training? A plan?

Yes I have two routines I curently follow.

Cool.

One of the biggest things for me when I was only 13/14 was my sports teacher telling me to focus on where I want to get to then plan my training around that.

He was a gymnast...very lean but just ripped to bits and he really helped me with my Athletics training and how to achieve power etc.

I do ALOT of Body weight exercises...Handstand press ups, pull ups.

We do exercises like wheelbarrows (partner holds your feet) and I have to press up a flight of stairs...so the push has to be powerful enough to get you up to the next step.
Creates a lot of power,.

Theres so many different ways of training...keeps it interesting

You sound like a good athlete.

Yeah it is fun to mix things up.

39 in 2 months and trying to keep things steady and keeping up with the thai boxing.
Ive struggled with a few injuries over the last few years as well which haven't helped.

Id like to drop down a stone...back to around a lean 15.5

Game over at 39..........I'm older than that.......

I changed my training when the compounds were getting harder to do and recover from....Still did them but banged more isolation in there and I found new growth...........

As for my holiday......It's always good to get away even if you have to take the family..

Only have to search the internet to see some strong and wicked physiques at 60+.............

You have plenty of time..

HGH for the 40 plus. Fountain of youth!
