Approved Log My Comeback Lifestyle Log

[Resurrected]

Hope this don't turn out to be too long. I'm 54, first picked up weights when I was 12. I'm your classic ectomorph so mass was nearly impossible. I joined the Marines. I had subscriptions to every muscle mag out there and set my alarm for 2AM Sunday morning to watch Flex Workout with Boyer Coe and Tanya Knight. Yes I'm old. I gravitated to Dan Duchain and Mike Mentzer. I joined at 155lbs and got out at 233. I overcame my body type by first educating myself and not rushing into gear. When I did I was prepared. The original Org Sust 250 preloads, Anadrol and Finajet....100 if I remember right. I didn't have a grip on nutrition yet so the results of excessive sodium blew me up a bit. But after some 20 cycles give or take, that's been the only sides I've ever had. Fkn sodium. My last bit of gear was 6 years ago. Since I've had covid that almost killed me twice. A vaccine that gave me blood clots, a head on car crash that gives me limited flexibility in my left ankle, legal issues and the financial downfall that comes from all of that.

I got a job three weeks ago helping inmates get their shit together before they get out. On that day I did 100 push-ups, 100 deep knee bends and 100 sit ups. It took me forever. I was 216 lbs at 6'2". Still an ecto. The last two weeks I've used the jails gym. Not much to work with but I can get the feel for it again. I got my first paycheck today. Tomorrow I'll get some supplies and a gym membership. I'll have more to report then. I have a pretty deep well of "old school knowledge" cycle construction, basic nutrition etc. I was on brotherhoodofpain.com for a long time. My picture is 6 years ago. I had tren'd down from 268 to 255. I'm not sure what my goal is just yet. I'm happy to be here with you all and look forward to sharing my journey.

make sure on the gym membership you scope out the place good. don't get a place that is too packed during the time you usually workout. usually 5-7 some gyms are way too jammed you won't be able to train

no good on the car accident. i hope you got some money out of it. was it your fault or their fault?

 

[Resurrected]

no good on the car accident. i hope you got some money out of it. was it your fault or their fault?

It was there's. A kid driving his mom's car passing a joint to his buddy crossed center line and head on. Broke the calcaneus and crushed the subtalar joint. I got my bills paid and vehicle replaced.

 

[Resurrected]

Alright fellas. Today I dropped 260 bucks at Walmart and 50 at the local gym. My nutrition is going to be a little old school for a bit but I can get my numbers. Tomorrow I'll be able to post that from AM to PM. But today. It's been 2 years since I've been in this gym and put together a workout. It went like this:

Inclined Smith Press 3 x 10-12
Cyber Chest Press 3 x 10-12
Crossovers 3 x 10-12

Straight bar Skull Crushers 3 x 10-12
Short bar reverse grip push downs 3 x max
Cable kickbacks 3 x max

So, my arm strength is shit. My ectomorphishness is long tie-ins with upper arms and of course fn calves, so it'll be a few weeks before my tris aren't sabotaging my press work.

Had some creatine ill go home start in on my protein and have yogurt. I have 2 dozen eggs to peel when i get home. An old friend who is 65 and built like Frank Zane was here and said "welcome home." I dig that.

Later brothers

Day 2

3 hardboiled eggs, ham steak, banana, 8oz of 2% milk
Creatine

Gotta good stretch and warm with some ext.s and hammy curles then:
Smith Squats 3x8 (I like squating in the Smith. I get more foot placement variations)
Leg press 3x12
Superset ext/curls 3×12

I just wiped out a large dominoes thin crust extravaganza so I'll have a yogurt and a shake the rest of the day.

I meant to get before pics today, but didn't take my phone in.
Tomorrow will be day off. I've always liked a 2 on 1 off schedule.

@Resurrected Keep up the good work man..........

 

[Resurrected]

Alright fellas. Here's where I'm at, 54yo and starting over. I'm 220 today. I've eaten up to specs for 3 days now. I said I'd take today off, but honestly I wanted to get one pass, top to bottom done as fast as possible so I just did a shoulder/back, rarely if ever have I done that. So I've busted the rust
off everything. I'll be dialed back in by this time next month. I'd be open to trt+++ sponsorship in the future

I'm not sure if AARP has gear or not. Lol

I said I'd take today off, but honestly I wanted to get one pass, top to bottom done as fast as possible so I just did a shoulder/back, rarely if ever have I done that. So I've busted the rust
off everything. I'll be dialed back in by this time next month. I'd be open to trt+++ sponsorship in the future

I'm not sure if AARP has gear or not. Lol

@Resurrected looking good bro this is the start lets work on it
you on TRT now ?

 

[Resurrected]

No sir. Took yesterday off. Ive got my daily calories up between 2400 and 3000 a day with protien between 175 and 210. Definitely need to make some adjustments there.That thin crust pizza the other day skewed the numbers some. Putting my protein and creatine in water will help. Right now all calories are good calories. I did notice something today. Chest/tris. Doing single cable pushdowns/kickbacks. I reached back and stabilized my arm with my off hand and I felt all three heads of my triceps firing and saw a legitimate pump.

3 more weeks and I'll be over 230 otc and my nutritional table squared and completely free of soreness and then advanced trt will be needed.

@Resurrected looking big and strong in the picture. Also nice job on the different training. Pushing that chest and shoulders nicely.

 

[Resurrected]

I appreciate it fellas. I do wanna clarify, that's an old picture and where I feel confident I can get back to. This is a really big part of my overall life comeback. My physical conditioning was really indicative of where my life was. I suppose it's always been that way. Since i was 20 yo if I wasn't 235+ with an obvious gym physique, you could take to the bank something was wrong. Either bad choices or a series of bad choices. Maybe bad luck, but usually bad choices. I appreciate your encouragement.

I had a nice shoulders/ #2 upper arm workout today. I got my calories to protein ratio closer. 2300/200. When 8n doubt Tuna and yogurt.

Smith Front Presses 3x6-10
Lat Raises 3x10
Upright Rows
...I concentrated on powering out of the lower end of the movement
Push downs 3x max
One arm cable curles 3x10-12
Cable kickbacks 3x10-12
Cyber preacher machine 3x8-12

More to come

Warm welcome brother

 

[Resurrected]

Warm welcome brother

Thank you my friend.

So today was mom's birthday. So I got plenty of cardio after my workout. Lol yard work out the a55.

Did back this morning. Kept it simple

Cybex plated pull down machine 5x10-12
Straight bar pull downs with a couple different grips 4x 10x12
Seated rows. Still staying light and strict at high reps until my core catches up 3xmax

I added some more upper arm cable work. ECTOfuckish upper arms, I have to hit'm often at varying degrees of reps and intensity until they quite looking like my moms arms.

I set up my crypto wallet this week. I'll probably get my points from Amazon this payday and my gear shortly thereafter. I really need about 3 more weeks before I start my TRT lifting. I still have dinner to go and I'm lopsided a bit on my food count. 1650 on calories and 91 on carbs. Looks like protein powder washing down a 2 cans of tunna and a yogurt.

[Resurrected]

Brothers I got me a dose of a summer cold. I think part of it is probably the last 3 weeks of significantly different work load on my body. It looks like 3 on 1 off is where I'm at right now, which is fine. Probably wouldn't hurt me at my age to add some immunity support for a bit. Having to force feed a bit today.

@Resurrected great work man. I love the cybex machines. Can’t wait to see the gear

 

[Resurrected]

Man fellas I just had a helluva summer sinus and chest congestion situation. I'm still shaking it off. I took an extra day off to get functional. Still hacking shit up out of my chest. I know it's got a lot to do with age and hitting it hard, putting stress on my body, aaanddd enough of that.

Chest/tris
Pretty much the same routine. Cut reps down on the presses today added some weight in the 5-7 range
I'm getting firm. Starting to recognize my upper body if I squint a little. Kept my calories up, pretty clean. I'm going to baby step my gear. Definitely longE T. I'd love to come out swinging with Pharmaqo's XXX on the front end but this bout of chest/sinus has me thinking Var50 might be wiser. I'll be on trt levels of T for the long haul starting pretty f'n soon.

[Resurrected]

Man this congestion shit.....if it's not cleared up by Friday I'm going to the doctor. Coughing up nasty stuff between sets is a little distracting.

[Resurrected]

What sucks is when I cough hard enough to get the shit up I get a splitting headache on the right side of my head that lasts a minute or two. I can get my calories, I can push through workouts. I googlef it. It's a primary coughing headache due to a sinus infection. I get the occasional Chronic Sinusitis flare up. Burn pit exposure back in the day. It's just a thing. I've had it before.

You got antibiotics bro?

 

[Resurrected]

I'm back brother. It took the entire bottle of antibiotics. But I kept the food and supps up. I'm a little sluggish but I picked up where I left off. I didn't lose weight and mightve been a bit stronger. I didn't have to miss work. Had a respectable shoulders tris today.

[Resurrected]

In a lot of ways brother, I think the time off being sick was good. I'm up to 230lbs right now. Settled back into something that resembles my old workouts. My support muscles aren't as much of a hindrance. I get paid Friday so I think I'll place a small order. Today wad a solid chest tris workout. By Halloween I'll have familiar mass back and have a cruise schedule in place. Looking forward to the other end of my closet fitting again. I appreciate the fellowship. God bless you brothers.
