Veteran Log PrinceDaddy 2025 Bodybuilding Log (Masters 55+ Competitor)

Quality updates prince. It's good to see You mixing up your training with real life.
 
nice man, visiting the city.

There's a lot of things to see in a nice town, like Cleveland.
 
Oh yeah, Lake Erie is like over 200 ft deep. It's insane. How deep those Lakes are
 
You get a chance to check out Lake Erie?

It's actually a pretty good lake. Really good to boat on and very deep.
It will be fun to explore wherever she decides to go. I'm not that well traveled in Ohio, Indiana, and Central Pennsylvania. Our visits were focused on the school so apart from the airport and the campus we did not do much else.
 
Good updates brother. Good luck to your daughter on her next journey with college! I know what you mean, it's nice to get back to the regular routine. Especially when diet affects you like that.
 
Tuesday : Banded 315 Squats / Safety Bar 305 Squats / Plate loaded leg press / Leg extension / Leg curl

Wake Up @ 195
Post Workout @ 190
Step Count: 25K
Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 10 Clean Bulk
Show Date : 07/16/2025 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 176.25 lbs

Getting back to my routine. I feel like when I have a good rhythm, things are progressing. More reps, heavier weight, more control, new movements. Feels like I just have been stale. I look to do 10-12 reps on any lift, but it feels like I am getting 7 to 10. It is as if my energy levels are low. I'm hoping this changes with all the college visits completed.

Been thinking about how to grow some legs. Part of me is thinking about pushing the rep range from 10 to 20. It would be a beating, but I think with a little push and motivation. I think I can do 315. I did 8 tops sets of banded 315 anywhere from 6-10 reps. On the leg press, I am also trying to get my knees closer to my chest.

Let's see how things progress...

I am back. As mentioned previously one last college visit to Cleveland, Ohio. Daughter had a great time. She is choosing between 3 schools.
All good schools, she is the one going, not me... so it is her decision. I am glad to be done with these trips. I can focus on bodybuilding. My diet
was a little compromised with all the traveling. Probably TMI, but my digestive system gets whacked. It seems like I get constipated. In any case I am glad to be done.

I did a partial Saturday Leg work out, mostly machines. Today I did my normal chest/shoulder 2 plate 225 press work out. Feel pretty good.
Weight from the stomach flu seems to be back. I did eat a little off menu on Friday/Sat. I'm back on my normal food. I am missing liquid egg whites, having to sub fairlife fat free milk for my protein drinks.

I can focus on the show. Ready to start cutting into the show.

Cleveland is where Superman was created. It's time to be SUPER!
Superman is jacked. Look at those quads. All these comic book characters are bodybuilders in disguise.

Wednesday : 225 Seated Front Military/Incline Bench/Decline Bench (3 top sets)

Still dragging a bit. I felt some androgen rage today as I seemed want to push, harder, faster. Waiting on equipment, feel like I'm running slower.
I am getting it done, mentally I just want to do more, but am out of time. My friend is out of town the next few weeks, so I'll be walking myself. I've been trying to catch up on podcasts. I have been behind due to the college visits.

Eating my last serving of ground beef 93/7 with sweet potato. Thawing Ground Chicken 98/2 for meal prep tomorrow. Will have omelet for dinner after the meat prep.

As I move thru April, I would like to see my weight drop to the 184-189 range. I would like to become more agile on the body movement exercises, pull ups, etc. I still need to trim more body hair. The leg hair should come off this Saturday. Will prob get rid of the chest/belly hair the following week. Will post progress shots once I clean it up a bit.

Great back work out today. 5 plate T bar rows. I also do landmine squats and rdls with the same machine on the way down. 130 lb dumb bell rows. 3 top sets. Still working on pull ups trying to flare out the lats. I'm in the 3-5 rep range. I'll get to 10, just have to keep working it.
The plan is to continue to get back to normal routine this week. Looking to shed some more hair on Saturday. Just trying to move to the 185-190 weight range.

Eating ground beef 93/7 with sweet potatoes. Love my food. Ready to grind.
@PrinceDaddy I love me some sweet potatoes man. They are so good.

I am starting to feel some intensity. Still feel a little slow. Definitely feeling some rage and moving thru my workout. 130 lb dumb bell shrugs and rdls. Feels pretty easy. I'm anxious to see your impressions on physique impact. Anxious to see if you all see much in changes from previous years. It's hard to tell much by yourself. Mirror tells truths and lies. Appetite is up, just staying consistent. I do feel like my biggest issue is still my mid-section and am actively working on vacuums and core control. I would anticipate more focus on this with every week going forward.

Almost time!

@PrinceDaddy I agree its your mid section, but vacuums wont fix the problem of the size of it. Digestion and discussing diet will help a lot.

Appetite is up. Weight seems to be going up. Tomorrow is leg day. Plan on being intense with all my travels done. Had a friend give me some Uprising Ascend samples. Just may run it on Sat/Sun for some intense work outs. Plan on trimming leg hair tomorrow. Next week will do the chest and belly. I have quite the carpet so a little at a time.

I am starting to add more body weight exercises. Pull ups notably. This is actually a good bicep exercise. I am bit frustrated with the new equipment at my gym. Bars that while adequate not as good as previous bars for angles and feel.

Eating ground chicken 98/2 with sweet potato today. Ready to shed.
 
Question for @stevesmi ? Is the podcast still running?
