Started back dead lift training last week. Twice a week low reps high weight heavy squats in between to strengthen up me legs. Pulled 405 this morning and followed up with a set of reps at 355. Felt good, no pain, no wraps, alternating grips and a little chalk. Felt real good! Once I hit 405 x 5 I will max again. Nursing this dang shoulder made me lose a bunch but it seems to be on the mend. Eating shark cartilage pills and glucosamine like candy has helped!

I cherish my knees, back, neck and shoulders like you do. So I just build my own routines. I focus alot on tendon strength in an area where my joints will be stressed by a heavy max weight. So I incorporate alot of heavy low rep short movement workouts for all of my muscle groups. Has made a giant difference in joint comfort.NTIDWELL said:
I think a lot of my gains came from only one muscle group per day with lights legs and calves thrown in twice a week. So I never combined large muscle groups like back and chest with arms or shoulders of any kind.
I started this way about 2 years ago with muscle recovery in mind and it seemed to really catapult my gains.
Of course we always plateau so I just change it up. I'm sure you have a way that works well for you.
So money pit, where you at home boy?
I like my knees and back so I train smart. I go heavy for a week or two then take a week for higher reps. My wife trains with me now which keeps me super motivated. I'm 5'6" and have cut down to my smallest in years at 195 pounds. Pulled 455 for 5 the other day and front squated 355 for 6. My best squat ever was 600x1. Told my wife last night that I'm shooting for a 700 pound squat in 2016. As long as my body holds up its a very achievable goal

Is there room to pass ?
How do you eat clean enough to keep the weight off ????!!????
For me and my wife a huge change was stopping drinking. We eat really clean during the week, but allow some cheat stuff on the weekends bc we still like to go on dates together. It's hard at first to eat right, but as time goes on it becomes easier bc you know bad food won't give the results you want. January 1st I start a bulking phase so I'll try to update with any new numbers. My wife is super excited to go all hulk mode next year lol

Screwed up both shoulders, taking 3 months off. On the freaking treadmill. Three weeks left. Then I can go back to moving weights around. I despise cardio.

Pulled 455 and went to higher reps and pulled 315 10 or 11 I( wasn't counting) then decided I needed to stop completely and let my shoulders heal. Been popping glucosamine and shark cartilage like m&ms. I finally hit the point where my poor diet was killing me. I really think the lack of good nutrients was killing myhealing post work out. Corn dogs aren't exactly growth fuel. I did up my max on cholesterol! Running and stretching. Will start back lifting in three weeks and go slow then about January start pushing for gains. Old habits die hard and I love eating so it's my struggle.

I tried the 5/3/1 but got bored. It was good for straight up strength, not so great for bodybuilding. It worked well for me cause I dont really get "cut" and not overly concerned about the way i look, it was just boring and complicated. When I'm consistent, we do a 4 day split (Mon-Thursday) and do heavy lifts on Friday (bench, deadlift, shoulder press or hit shoulders and chest).
Man bummer to hear about injury. Your are doing exactly the right thing to let yourself heal and eat better. Good for you.
Hope you recover quickly and dang you big bastards are what always drives me. Lol
Awesome to see couples working out at the gym. My buddies girl friend is a freakin monster. Not usually the kind i like to see at the gym. She's full on Europa games deep voice tear your wiener off huge. Cool chick but committed and scary. Lol
Keep your little lady at 109
