It could be the D3 vitamins, but I’ve always been able to do hammer curls with around 60s.

What is obese? 30% or more? Are you lucky enough to have a Dr knows how to check or one that just uses the same old insurance charts.

Under 30 something dr., probably using the old insurance charts. He didn’t tell me I was overweight, I read that on his computer printout as I was leaving. 38" jeans fit fine, but dr. shamed me into a diet for a few days. I did eat about 50+ dark chocolate eggs at Easter since the kids didn’t. Wife was appalled.

50+ dark chocolate!! Well. they say the dark chocolate is good for you. What are you doing your machine flyes on? The machine I use doesn’t even go that high.

Now, that there is just some spurious BMI index conclusion. BMI will tell every lifter they are “Obese”. If you fit 38 inch jeans and squatting good weight, then you’re in great shape. Take that from Doctor stooge!
Your training inspires me.

Thanks Stooge, I agree BMI index is misleading, but I’ve started eating a bit less.
Hel320, two different flye machines. Seated one w/stacked weight to about 250 (220 feels pretty high to me on that one). Other is standing cable machine surely w/mismarked stack weights since it registers 325 for my top weight. Pin in weight stack is sole adjustment I can find; only one list for the weights on the stack.
4/20
cable rows 3 x 12 @ 140, 160, 200
machine incline press 3 x 12 @ 90, 140, 160
different machine press 3 x 12 @ 90, 160, 180
machine pullovers 3 x 8 @ 140, 180, 230
cable curls 3 x 12 @ 95, 110, 135
Rather poor “Friday workout”.

This felt really good; never did chest and shoulders in same workout before. Read Paul Carter’s article from yesterday. Might try rest of it for awhile.
