@Mobster you're the king still pushing hard
worst fitness advice on social media. forums are 100% the place and safe@Ori yes, social media is mind poison and so much negative discussion, I stay on forums, they are much more personal for me.
I can't imagine what it's like being this big and strong

I like the low volume. I think as we get older we can get away with training less and continue to get stronger and put on quality muscle.
There's an argument to be made for intensity vs volume
IMO the intensity is most effective as long as your body can handle the abuse. I think when you get injured and beat up then its time to go with higher volume less weight. IMO I think a good middle ground is the slow reps with medium high weight. I like to switch things up as I believe you need to keep the body guessing to trick it into growth.
Possibly. As often as not it's mental. But I do rotate exercises if only to keep numbers going up without burnout. But not so much for strength. Size for me is a bonus.

Based on the fact that it'll take two leg session rotations I wanna be doing 1 rep with 800lbs on the Hatfield Squat 6 weeks today. I maxed Powerhouse Safety Squat bar as it's rated to 320kg and I repped that today. Mine is rated to 350kg but I might risk the 365kg as it's MY bar not someone else's lol.
Something else - 700+lbs hurts your neck ha ha - pad or no pad.
Bench Press I wanna do 4 x 1 x 190kg/418lbs this coming Friday. 192.5kg x 4 x 1 next week and then either 195kg x 4 x 1 the Friday after or an attempt then at the 200kg or doing the 200kg/440lbs the following Friday.
Press will go up tomorrow to 112.5kg/247.5lbs for reps. My very best is 120kg/264lbs x 4. That'll take a while to get to.

wow, how much weight is that? looks like a boatload of weight
Awesome picture and great job as usual. I love the hood up look. I rock that in the gym too. To me, it helps me block out everything going on around me. Love the increased focus.
When I'm in that zone I don't hear the music
Usually for sure.
Awesome training brother. Great numbers

@Mobster would be nice to see a picture of this powerhouse session
Mobster you are a strong mofo
APPROVED LOG
From Friday's workout (I don't take photos every time I train but I'm writing an e-book on this lift so...). Picking up that 160kg+ (handle, clip and pin are about 3kg) so about 360lbs on a 60mm thick handle (about 2 and 3/8ths of an inch thick)
Done. Pic added
Best bench session to date. 2007/8 it was 180kg x 4 x 1. 11 weeks ago it was 185kg x 4 x 12. Friday... 190kg x 4 x 1 (and easier than some weeks back) and I'll almost certainly do 1 (poss 2) more session (192.5?? x 4 x 1) before hitting the 200kg/440lbs attempt again. Indeed if I can do 2 instead of one I'll be that little bit more head of the target.
IE: I MIGHT have 197.5kg... MAYBE 200kg in me right now based on 4 x 1 x 190kg and using previous efforts as a reference. I am, after all, 5kg ahead of previous marks for multiple singles.
So any additional sessions make me move further into where I wanna be. I'm just, as of today, into week 2 of the 50mg a day EP Var
So your at your strongest ever on bench correct?
For reps yes. For 1 it was 195kg and did 4 z 1 with 190 yesterday
Proof that us old guys can keep on getting stronger as we age. We’re giving the younger lads on here a run for their money.
Ab-so-fkin-lutely
Talk about grip strength
Mobster stay grinding!
Yall will both be strong for a long time
I’ve told you 1 million times to stay away from those dirty women that you mess around with at bars.

Strongest dudes at every gym I’ve been at has been in their 50s
years of training is definitely an advantage
Key though is staying healthy And not letting things in life get in your way. Mobster has been consistent for years
It’s a lifestyle not a hobby for him
Yep. I've had to resist training this week cos I'm worn out sickness wise. Even when I was laid up with the back injury in 2016 I still squeezed my grippers
Age wise, apart from Kirk, all my training buddies are 40+
On the age and strength thing; I've spoken about the difference between those who exercise and those who don't. Age wise the average non training man hit's peak strength around age 35. Which is also when we hit our strides career wise. Those who train can add at least 10 years to that - so 45. Arguably training keeps us young too (although I'm feeling my age today lol)
@Mobster thats a beast level!
That is pretty badass
I've a new handle (from MiraFit) to try out when I feel better
