This Guy Rules Ass

Don't see any obvious signs that this is fake so I thought I'd share. Old man just talking shit and getting things done.

Man, I love the way he talks.

And very impressive. I wonder when he started lifting.

 

[KnightTemplar]

From his accent, he probably started lifting because he needed the extra strength to dig the graves and dump the bodies after he'd whacked another Wiseguy.

Fuggedaboutit!

This here is one of the rare cases where I don't give a shit about form or methodology or any of that stuff. Maybe he doesn't warm up enough or maybe he rests too long between sets, maybe his butt comes off the bench, maybe there is no pause at the bottom etc but if I can still put up 3 plates when I'm that old anyone who don't like it can just keep it to themselves

 

[KnightTemplar]

He makes an interesting point about pyramids: some of the research I've read states that ramping up to a heaviest set is better for older lifters. Doing the same heavy weight across multiple sets can be too much for older lifters to recover from.

To me it is stupid. Who cares? Been there done that a long time ago and I am not even close to 70. They are just risking injury for no reason other than everyone cares about bench from Joe Weider marketing to sell benches.
I suspect it is an easy regression of ng/dl of total testosterone vs bench 1rpm.

Been there done that. No reason to destroy my shoulders to impress the internet young guys.

What maters as an old guy is hamstrings, low back, core, quads.

The entire concept of upper body strength is just a holder over of Joe Weider bench marketing.

71 yrs old and benching with a shoulder injury? FTS!

I'd be doing Pilates instead

Is it just me or S&C got funnier than the OT. OT is just lame, the trolling is so obvious it isn't fun. And everyone is just some fake throw away nick. Not everyone but these lame thread starters.
S&C is the real OT.

Sounds like you can't bench. I mean I can't squat so I'm just as biased.
