pretty sure we even discussed that accident ITT lol.

[The Bogan]

Deads are coming along again after a deload, only warm up weight for some but on my last 2 sets today I managed 5 x 150kg then 3 X 160kg, I should have only gone to 155kg and will drop my last set to 155kg next time.

I did manage a good 270kg from the top of the knee to lock out on my last set of 5 x 1 of them though, started at 250kg and went up by 5, I did make some noise though.

I am going to rotate between 3 x 8 deficit and 5 x 1 knee height to try and keep it slowly going up.

Well you can all wait in the wings until something happens and then be triumphant with your 'I told you so' chorus.

Sorted out all those injuries that prevent you from progressing yet Dan?

[Mitcho_7]

270kg block pulls, thats pretty hectic.

I pull more from a deficit than from blocks

[Birds]

100kg x 7 on bench, I think that's a pb for me!

Is this supposed to be a thinly veiled jab somehow? Despite me having already said I wouldn't be lecturing anyone based on having injured myself with poor form/mechanics? If so, lol

Nice job dude. I'm slowly bringing up that 3rd incline set, started out at 54kg and the bar was very hard to control, now got about 75 on it and managing 10 reps (just) after doing 10 then 8 at of flat something just over 100, think it's like 102.5 or so.

Thinking I might drop the second flat bench set and swap in another incline set as I don't want too big man titties (I have cut eating also to assist until I can do some decent cardio again).

you won't get big man titties unless you're trying to lol.

[No Crust Racing]

Mine are big enough now. I don't want them to be any bigger to make it easier when my metabolism slows more and I find it harder to change weight as easy.

My thinking is that as I get older I'll slowly lean off a bit over time to avoid sag if possible lol

[TTT]

not possible.. but keep trying. lol

[No Crust Racing]

Hahah, that's my thinking too, but I more so mean I'll step down in weights and move more into cardio as I get older. For that leaner less bulky look and hopefully that will help keep me tight like a tiger.

[Birds]

Who gives a shit about how you look when you're 70? Highly likely you'll look like ass anyway; age kind of does that.

[No Crust Racing]

At 70? Who cares. But at 45, I'll still care

[Birds]

You won't get saggy boobs at 45 if you're still pushing good weight and not eating like a slob...

[No Crust Racing]

Fingers crossed

[TTT]

muscle doesn't sag.

doing cardio doesn't grow muscle.

rethink your game plan son.

[No Crust Racing]

What's a better game plan then, legit question.

My theory is if the muscle is a little smaller through lighter weights higher reps and my body fat is lower through cardio and diet I should be OK.

I know muscle itself doesn't sag but the connective tissues do. Less weight on those would help.

Less fat is always going to help.

[Birds]

You're planning to grow muscle smaller with high reps, lower weight?

[Birds]

All old people sag - fact. No training will avoid that. Even skinny low fat triathlete oldies sag. You either get lucky or you don't.

Look at Stallone...as roided up as he is, he's in top nick for a man in his 60s...very defined...but you can see the age; you can see the sag. Nothing can be done. Deal wit it.

Keep the fat off and that's the best you can do.
