Avante does that a couple of times a day.
Heavy incline press today...275x3 reps on the last set.

I keep it fast and simple anymore. At this stage of the game it's all about maintaining and sustaining what took years to build. I haven't worked out since I 've been gone,simply too busy or tired. And nothing to workout with being away from home.
Will start back up Monday.
It's not about how much weight ya can toss around, that is for kids. What is really going on his progressive weight additions and the sets and reps. AND....doing it. I will pay the price for missing time.
I can get in and out in about 30 minutes.
I do get a kick out of posters who...I lifted a VW today, three times.
And it should never be .....my goals for 2018. You make a life commitment to staying fit, it becomes who you are. Not a yearly thing.

5 reps at 315 on my top set today. Finished out with 9 reps at 275.
Not mutually exclusive.
Keep it up !
Obviuosly an athlete will have different goals from a yearly perspective due to age and whatever the performance schedule looks like.
I was talking Joe Public, just those in the work world trying to stay fit. It's not really about this year, that year, it's more about a constant. You make the comimitment to the point of.....can't go, I have a work out planned......hi mom. sorry but working out right now,ya should have called, ya can wait.
I weight 187 pounds and bench over 300
Eastern Block
What works for me,
First off I left a gym to work out at home. It's faster and I stay more focused. Too much standing around, visiting around at a gym. I want to get in. get it done and get out.
I work upper body Sun, Tues, Thurs, lower body Mon, Wed, Fri. I take off Sat.
Just your basic three sets of 10/8/6 adding weight every six months. Nothing exotic just the bench, curls, shrugs, dead lift, overhead, squats, calf curls. leg raises., etc.
As ya get older, ya realize cardio conditioning is becoming more an more important. I run in place with some music or speed walk or jumping jacks. I go until fatique takes over,
Bottom line is...
Never ever ever miss a workout. Only a death in the family/an act of God is more important. You MUST have that at ude. This isn't something you play around with, this is who you are, And it's real important everyone in your orbit knows this, they get where you;re at. You will need them buying into it.
The most important, sexy....muscles? Abs, nothing sucks more than a fat gut and nothing more attractive than washboard abs. And the legs, never want to lose that spring. And a nice tight ass....doesn't hurt.

How many times?
10 most common mistakes in Planks form.
Get past the gy accent and some good basic pointers:
Lost about 15 pounds over a few months and put it back on since December
Attibuted to? Your diet, exercise or both?
Dec and 1st half of Jan I fell down too.
Had a high blood sugar reading. So I looked at the Glycemic Index and GLoad charts. Got back on good stuff and already feeling better and dropped back to 198. My ideal playing weight should be 193.
Back on the horse.
DMC - Chunko are you still abusing coke in leu of diet and exercise?
Or have you found a healthy replacement?
Finally started putting on natural weight the last few years as metabolism has slowed down. Has actually been great for lifting. Sitting at around 155-160 right now. Want to hit bench goal of 300+ this year, did 275 for 4 reps the other day. So 300+ should be close. Might be able to hit it if I max out sometime. Would like to hit around 170 pounds by end of year as well.
I went on a crash diet & exercise routine the morning after Putin crossed into Ukraine. I've lost 63 lbs since February 25th.
U wot m8
This post is pretty funny in hindsight
New treadmill shoes. $70. Always wanted to try this brand.
I bought a pair of those and before I even tried them on, I threw them out the window of my car.
Treadmill?
Get the fk OUTSIDE! Treadmill...
A Sprint triathlon is a possibility now that I am getting proficient at swimming. I need a better bike though.
I might try one of those races running through mud and and climbing.
