True inspiration for new generations of body building...Honestly,my congratulations Sir...No anabolic steroids,only pure,muscle mass...RESPECT and Greetings from Hellas!
Excellent garage workout! Just finished my basement workout. I'm 68 and still train push/pull 4 times per week. One higher12-15 rep workout repeated 4 days later at 7-10 reps.
@@SwissArmySteve. I see you are busting your ass there. Good on you. For the chin ups, when you hit failure have a step ready to stand up and add a few negative reps to increase the intensity and time under tension. For the dumbell rows Weider used to sell a handle that slipped onto the bar which offset the handle by about 4 inches. They called them "kettlebell handles". These will allow you to pull higher before the big plates hit your ribs, increasing the range of motion and getting a tighter contraction. These 2 changes should leave you lying in bed unable to sleep with the pain in your lats. As I said previously I alternate between a heavy weight lower rep day(7-10) and a lower weight with higher reps(12-15). But as we say,"You do you!" Keep at it. As long as you don't end up trapped below the bar it will do you good. All the best.
Impressive stuff mate, good job. I hope I'm lifting this hard and heavy in my 50s, inspiring stuff. You're looking jacked as well. Have you tried 'supersetting'? You might be able to get more done in less time if you go back and forth between the presses and the pulls with short rests between. Not that you're resting that much! That's a lot of sets in 90 mins.
Hi Charlie, thanks for the positive comments. We'll I do really get where you are coming from. Rightly or wrongly I have an old school mentality. I think super setting has its place as do many other methods of training but I'm a bit stuck in my ways as I know this really works for me as an individual. Im nowhere near as jacked as I have been previously some 5 or six years ago. I was benching 140kg for sets of 8 reps which is where I aiming to get back to if all goes well. My philosophy is a big muscle is a strong muscle and this is why I do heavy compound exercises which not only stress the musculoskeletal system as a whole it also stresses the nervouse system too which takes a lot out of you and creates a large oxygen debt. I feel super setting may diminish the capability to lift as heavy and be more cardiovascular orientated. What would your thought be on this?
If you're new to training and you train them properly then give them a couple of days to recover each time they are trained, you will see a noticeable difference in 3 months. Be consistant and they will grow.
@brianmccarthy1322 ok I do 50lbs dumble chest press 35lbs sholder twice a week 60 reps each per day how long it will takes to reach 70lbs for dumble chest press

Hows this routine for gains and body composition mate. You're never to old to lift. It keeps the body younger and the mind fresh.

Very nice homesetup and hard training, like it.
Thanks for liking👍🏻
How long it takes to grow biceps if we start at 50?

Train chest, shoulders, and back. Your biceps will figure it out on their own.
