Old Guy Strength

Wow 425 bench. You’re a beast. And 23 sets of leg press. Nasty.

Just kidding about hip replacement stuff.

You’re still young and in beast mode as endorsed by NHLFTR.

I get a temporary odd feeling in left hip area after 5 plate leg presses.

Well the seated leg presses are really easy. Normally a movement for the ladies, but I had no choice. As for my bench, my shoulders are feeling it. It calls for a light day tomorrow.

I don’t want to know any women who leg press 900 lbs.

You don’t either.

a 425 raw bench…I quit…well done man !!!

No I don’t. The seated let press machine is another matter. They may not be able to do 400, but still it’s pretty easy.

Thanks, it was all I had in the tank, and not pretty at all.

I felt something in my right elbow during cable extensions. I stopped and tried the D-bar, but it still hurt. I stopped at that point.

I then moved to the EFX Glider Thingy, instead of the treadmill. I realized why I use the treadmill. Son of a… And I only did 10 minutes.

Perhaps one day I can do squats in the morning. The rack is a valuable place at 5:00 AM. Leg presses were good, however, and I am already thinking about taking the elevator at work.

On a side note, I’m not sure what I ate yesterday, but I was full of gas. It was trouble during presses. I almost felt bad for fellow gym goers. They were loud and smelly. To make things worse a very attractive lady began working not far from me. But what do you do? It’s all part of the experience.

15 sets of leg presses will do that on occasion !

Yes sir!

Maybe just climb up side of building w/o using legs?
