Yep. Not too sniffy for 58 lol
I tend not think about it. The GF was saying how good some of my pics (local nature stuff) were and I said (applying the same to training) 'I'm always looking to get better'.
If I thought I was all that I wouldn't keep plugging away. I do, of course, still have the odd 'yeah big arms you mofo' from myself lol

Excellent log, keep going, we like it
We've been on the forum together for years and I follow your Insta but friends... not just yet
Solid workout. I like to keep things under an hour personally. It helps me stay focused, get in, get out.
Yesterdays for sure. Tomorrows, with more singles (and Fridays) less so
whats your prize? you doing another grip contest?

665kg on leg press thats monster size!
I'm working to max my machine out. I have one which is the self same model as my local gym. I've done 700kg for 8 on that and 850kg for 3 (had a BIG buddy sit on it). But I use mine with a 4+ inch thick pad on it to increase the range of movement (ie: deeper reps). I push off of the safeties. If I win the lotto I'd buy one where you can preset the depth (they use a pin). Stops you getting crushed and I train at home on my own so...

Upped the Anadrol dose to 75mg a day.
Contest prep video from back in the day. It includes 765kg leg presses (best ever was 850kg): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vJeTIez7EQ&t=68s

Only started from 50 to 75mg yesterday. Fine so far
bros mobster killi it
Hardcore training mobster.......
I can only guess what I'd be doing if I was on the level of PEDs like yourself... me at 400lbs?
It was. I need the little bit of stretching I did
I write them in from time to to time but not always cos... boring to repeat lol. Lever Squat, for example:
Frame x 8 reps, +50kg/110lbs x 8, 120kg/264lbs x 8, 200kg/440lbs x 8 and the top set of 285kg/627lbs x 4 reps

Two Hand Pinch
to 106.7kg x fail, then 5 x 1, one more fail then the last single (6 in total)
Bwt: a fraction under 322lbs
A sense of perspective
In a pre-show of a podcast yesterday I briefly talked to Stevesmi about how I can be pissed off, if only a little, about the progress of a lift or two without allowing for the fact that my 'bad day' is really a good day.
By way of example is my recent Two Hand Pinch. Because I have my eye on a really big number I'm impatient to get going with more weight being added but yesterdays 106.7-kilos - just for one rep (or someone elses 1RM) puts me in (I think) the top 15 EVER. In other words, to quote the late Rich Piana, I'm a '5%'.
Equally, as I've touched upon in podcasts and elsewhere, if I wasn't hungry I'd have never got ANY world records. So maybe my not having that sense of perspective is what I need to be successful. A quandary lol

To keep striving for better even with holding world records, I think you really have that "killer instinct" that keeps you pushing.
A non-stop hunger for sure

you injure your ribs? i hope you ok big man
Not as such. But a half ton or more pressing down on my shoulders means my core, inc my rib cage, is under pressure when I'm repping. It's only when I coughed that i noticed they were sore lol

Took ages getting my ass in gear etc then... That's gonna leave a bruise: 260kg Hatfield Squats (6 reps) not reracked properly so, at some point, I end up with my right hand under the right hand side pinned between the barbell and the cross bar / safety. I squat it off and then the weights went everywhere. Hand is sore to the touch but no bones broken. The joys of training solo.

Close Grip Bench Press
Last weeks session I more or less threw up the 2nd single. It was easy. So I decided today was hit the big one day
Broomstick x 30 reps, bar x 10-12 reps, 60-kilos x 8 reps, 80-kilos x 6 reps, 120-kilos x 1 rep. Sleeves on as per. 157.5-kilos x 1 rep (easy), 160-kilos x 1 rep (easy), 165-kilos x 1 rep (ok). Took my sweet time then hit my annual 170-kilos/374lbs x 1 rep (video'd) at age 58. 3rd year on the trot. I'd say it's taking me a little longer every year but boom just the same lol
Lat Pulldowns (wide mag grip)
to 18p x 15 reps (wanted the stack x 15 but someone else got on the machine so...)
Dumbbell Wrist Curls
to 40-kilos x 8L and 10R (had to reset left)
