Still lifting...still training. But man I'm on that "light weight" kick at least by your standards. I am surprised that I can still keep size on with low(ish) weight and higher reps.

I've had to also increase cardio now that I'm old and my metabolism is gone.

I started keto.. dropped 70lbs (mostly cos I got fat) and am slowly still getting lighter and leaner while getting my strength up.. gotta do what you gotta do.

Did a 3 day fast. Did nothing but drink mineral water (for the electrolytes) the whole time. Towards the end it kind of hurt, when the big detox was kicking in. Trying to work my way up to be able to fast for a week.

Currently I only eat once a day, or every 24 hours. 7 meals a week. Lowered caloric intake = super health.

Good news boys, woke up today and had another damn lipoma forming he couldn't see till he blew me up. 30 minutes and I was out. We will see if my back still nags after this.

Jesus. You big bastard!

I am going under the knife again tomorrow. Apparently popped a stitch or two in my hernia area from 2012 or around it. Hopefully that is all it is and what is irritating my back on that side. I may have to start wearing a belt all the time I am doing anything. I almost think it is as much my gun belt grinding across there and constant pulling in that area than the weight lifting. Well that and I am sure building that truck where the tires and wheels weighed 450 lbs probably didn't help any. Started kind of feeling it around January and then my back started acting up. Did some ab work a couple of weeks ago and it really hurt the next day. Like I was dreaming about the pain that night. This old age shit sucks. I guess better than laying around getting diabetes or something.

Pick up a 45lb dumbbell and try it, if you think it's so easy now...

Since starting the diet thing almost a year ago I've now lost 46lbs. Approximately 8 months of keto has been responsible for 36 of those. Running is far easier now and my motorcycle accelerates much quicker.
219 as of yesterday. I'm thinking 205 is the lowest I want to go.

Failed miserably at 115’s attempt. Did too many warm-up sets I think because I was skurrd to try it. Will have to wait for another time due to changing up routine next week.

I stopped BB shoulder press years ago and behind the neck before that. Saw no point to it. Only press moves I do now with BB is flat bench. Used to work out with a competitive power lifter who showed me the correct way to bench. Even after that the shoulders would sometimes sting. Anymore in my case I think it's due to old age.

Even a shoulder press?

Ever so slightly, yes. Think of it with a straight-bar, lowering in-front of your head is far better than behind. With shoulder press keeping the elbows "in" means slightly forward. You may not feel much of a difference until you hurt one, then you'll know exactly how having tour shoulders back stresses the joint.
