Super and Giant sets are a way to kick up the intensity as well. -
Back at it this morning. I slept pretty well to boot! legs and shoulders this morning. Squats/lateral raises/incline leg raises, incline leg press/incline front raises/ab roller, rear delt cable pulls/hanging leg raises. Spent a little too much time flapping my yap about deer hunting and didn't get my Arnold press and walking lunges in. Maybe tomorrow.Comment

Extra long warm up for the knees. They still are acting up. Kept the weights low and reps up.
High bar squat
Leg press narrow and wide positioning super set
Seated leg curls/calve press super set
Low back is pumped and irritated. Knees are too but better than expected.
At a cross in the roads right now. I need to keep in dropping weight but don't want to stop lifting heavy. At least heavy for me. Do y'alls minds play tricks on ya as well? What do you do to keep focused on your goals? **** mind games!Comment

At my age, I'm not making any more muscle than I've made in the past. I have found my natural "ceiling", and while it hurt my ego it helped my workouts and diet planning
Lift in a safe range and up reps to failure. Your muscles have no idea what number is on the weight. And I have tractors to lift anything I can't

Crazy schedule today, looked like I might be burning th midnight oil to get in today's workout, but plans fell in place and 5:30 I should get to the gym. This week, I feel much better in the gym. The workout is one that I like and have had success with and the diet fuels me enough to preform and still loose FAT... vs the @&$*^# keto I been doing for 9 weeksComment

I'm sceptical about the keto diet. I pretty much eat what I want, just portion control. I've never been really big on sweets and desserts though, I can take em or leave em. Got the back worked today!

I've "finished out" the last two years on Keto to get that last 1/2%-1% off.... but always came at a 50/50 loss of muscle. But I'd trade that in that stage of the game. I started at a higher bf this year and thought I would give it a test run since I chart everything
22 lbs loss in 9 week....10 was muscle and I'm higher bF than usual... but not by very much.Comment

If you're having good success with what your currently doing and you're happy with it, don't fix what is not broken. Keep on trucking.Originally posted by Muskles View PostComment
