ot; 6packscaredy; a little scary…

Your trapezius seems kind of impressive.

Thank you. Mainly I’d like to see my waist to chest ratio improve.

I wish I had a before photo, but it was like a 34w 37 chest, soft, no definition.

Now we’re around 31w 40.5 chest. Shoulders much bigger. They were nothing.

Id like to be 30 w 42 inch chest and have shoulders like a gymnast. At least that’s my goal.

How’s your back squat doing?

Stopped dead for now.

Internal and external obliques are I think two muscles. Wikipedia agrees. But I’m actually referring to the outer muscle traverse abdominis.

That outer muscle atop the hip bone by the side. Mine is larger than expected. I also have disproportionately large and finely tuned knees. The remainder is unimpressive.[/quote]
Just teasing …but that last BF is very stubborn in 50 year old men.

Good job …that’s a lot of hard work.

Somewhere in Texas, Mark Rippetoe sheds a silent tear…

PS – Amazing job… Rip be damned. (I neglected to mention that his tears are mostly bbq sauce).

I was too squat focused with my dog food bet. It was getting really heavy. I needed a change.

Google macebell.

Swinging heavy objects arounds has rejuvenated my testosterone. I pretend I am beheading enemies. I had forgotten about my upper body for 6 months.

My remaining kids and I do dips and pullups most nights outside. The eldest left for sdsu.

I want to do a muscle up.

Also considering a weight sled to pull around the neighborhood

We are now two seconds away from “croch shots”

That is seriously impressive, scaredy. Not at all what I would have expected, for some reason. Though you’ve been posting about your workouts for a couple of years, I pictured you as a very slight, more intellectual-looking type (not that intellectuals can’t be buff, but you know what I mean).

The fact that you’ve managed to do this at ~50 years of age makes it even more incredible. Awesome job, scaredy!

BTW, I’m glad your son picked a university that is fairly close to home. Your family sounds awesome! 🙂

Anyone can get strong and lean. Diligence diet and effort. I thought I was genetically incapable of being strong but I had a bad case of fuckarounditis. I wasn’t really trying. Once you try 100 percent not just play around things change.

Age 50 changed things. Time is running out. Actually made it easier if not possible to improve.

scaredy, we’ve all probably had a case of “fuckarounditis” at one time or another. Just because one decides to fit low-impact classes and/or exercises for a few months/years around an otherwise busy and/or stressful schedule, this STILL helps one feel better, relieve stress and alleviate muscle aches and pains.

Not EVERY gym rat hangs out there regularly to chisel their abs with free weights. Some only work out on fitness machines, only swim, only attend classes, or a combination of these.

You’ve done a fine job of chiseling your abs apparently without even setting foot inside a gym! I myself wouldn’t want to own all the equipment necessary to get myself in tip-top shape OR pay for utilities and maintenance to run a pool/spa, hence, I prefer a well-equipped gym. But that’s just me.
