The older I get the less I can handle heavy weights. Need desperately to add cardio to my workout, due to increasingly becoming more of a fat arse.

As far as weight training. I have settled on M-W-F, 3 sets of 8 on bench and hang clean with 2 plates, and same number of reps and sets on squat with 3 plates.


Talent is a gift, character is a decision.

The rock will continue for about the next 15 weeks, equal amounts every week. Then a 2 week vacation and upon return I begin building a 16x20 cedar pergola. I have up my gum memebership because all my yard work keeps me busy enough. After all the yard work is done, it will be time to starts prepping for the hunting season. If I feel ambitious, another 12-15 loads or rock for the front flowerbeds. Once that all done, prob sell the place and start all over hammer


up - thats the way I've been rolling last several years; best shape of my life - over 50 now!
in fact, parked the riding mower 2yr ago and now use a push-mower with a bag - feeding clippings to the cow - over 2 acres!
This summer & fall, baled about 5 acres of coastal - BY HAND! ( i did cheat & cut w/tractor tho). Hand-shoveled 30,000#'s Dyno-Dirt over last 8 years & trimmed 2 acres of oak forest (chainsaw), but carried and wheelbarrowed all wood. Just got done painting inside and out of a 3500 ft 2-story house - all by hand. getting started on a 3200 ft one now!
Why 'waste' the energy when you can apply it so it can pay-back financially! - Stimulates the brain as well - instead of boring repetition.

for your cardio, drop a plate or 25lbs or so and do all those sets without stopping, 4 rounds.

Havent hit the gym since I got married. Ive gained a little about 10 lbs. Wife busted out the summer clothes, shorts and capris, and found a few that no longer fit....

I walk about 2 miles at lunch every day. Have added to that about another 2 miles with the wife in the evenings after dinner. Ive always had bad ankles and knees and I ran about 2 miles a day from 9th grade through my masters... not sure if I want to start running again or not. Doubt I will hit weights again.

I used Microsoft Excel for years for logging my walking and Nordic Trac cross country ski machine. I averaged up to the mid 800's of miles per year walking until about a year ago. For Excel I gave myself equal time, (mileage) for the Nordic Track, though the ski machine was way more exercise. I was lifting light weights about every other day.

Now I'm trying to just rotate the Nordic Track and weights. My road is too dangerous for walking anymore. My eulogy would be, "He was so healthy until that texting kid ran over him."
