TimeOut

After having not exercised with weights at the gym the last 10 years, I embarked on that journey again this year on 3rd of January.



Pressed yesterday 10 times 80 kg again in one go, without struggeling, controled and smooth. Felt very good!

Or you will need to replace your entire wardrobe 😉

If you keep it natural, you will never ever look like the great Arnold.



That is my dope: Harz Mountain Cheese! Has got 30 g protein / 100 g.

This year coming, I will work on my health as well.

I am <68kg pursuing fr 1.5x my body weight. Hehehe. But do get a spotter if you doing free weight bench press. ; )

A spotter is needed at 85 kg now: 4 x! 💪

I’ve never been much into weigh training, as swimming has been more my preferred activity, but one of my goals for 2024 is to start hitting the gym. 

This IS the way to end the year — with a good workout. 80 kilos is no easy feat kudos to you

Happy Healthy New Year!

The goals must be sustainable. As I grow older, carrying a heavier load is no longer something I aspire towards to. Ultimately attaining a higher quality in life is the ultimate goal. Working back from there I know that hypertrophy then becomes the main goal, and in order to achieve that one must understand the imbalances in our physique, which would naturally lead you down the path of trying to work towards having symmetry in your physic. A strong chest would mean you need a strong back + shoulders. A strong upper body…then would lead you to also want to have strong and sturdy legs which would enhance mobility + stability. Try higher reps for a lower weight and aim for max volume/workload (weight x distance). Also do have a cardiovascular regime (for cardiac health in order to perform resistance training adequately).

Cheers! 🥃🥃

Strength work is very important, and far more important as we get older.  Having a routine like this, not necessarily a heavy one, is something everyone really should have and so you are setting a good example to your fellow forum members.  

Maybe we need a Health & Fitness sub forum. You talk to Bill ! LOL
Happy New Year, here’s to continued fitness and strength into 2024 !

. . . since.  The other benefit is a loss of appetite . . . eating less, or more precisely, satisfied with less.  

I know you can't drink too much anymore but if:



A very complex bourbon, not too sweet, almost scotch like taste. PS An Eagle Rare 10 is lurking into picture ...

. . . whiskey, Count.  Not much for spirits anymore, but will ask for it the next time I'm at the bourbon bar in Hollywood.
