Another single workout volume PR on #Tonal today: 28,667 lbs. (back, biceps, light abs).

Also obliterated old one month volume PR of ~194,000 lbs. with a shocking 311,314 lbs. in only 19 days of lifting.

Again, I’m 64.5yo, 5’7”, 138 lbs., and 100% natural. How is this possible?!? 🤷‍♂️💪

New 1-Wk Vol PR:
M=26,354 (Back+Bis+Abs)
T=13,481 (Chest+Tris)
W=21,560 (Legs+Delts+Abs)
T=10,007 (Lite Repeat Mon-Abs)
F=12,134 (Lie Repeat Tue+Abs)
——————————
TOTAL: 83,536 LBS.
——————————
NATURALLY building strength & endurance in my mid-60s. 💪

Another HEAVY pull day (back+biceps) + light abs & obliques resulted in a new single day volume PR on #Tonal of >26,000 lbs. 💪🏼

At my age , height, & weight (64.5yo, 5'7", 138 lbs.), there must be a limit, but I felt like I could have easily/safely did over 30,000 lbs. today. 🤷‍♂️ #bodybuilding #natty

@okcthunder.bsky.social #NBAFinals refs (and announcers) missed a potentially championship-altering call when #Pacers failed to establish front court possession before the shot clock reached 15 sec. with ~52.8 sec. remaining.

Haliburton jumped in backcourt & pass to Nesmith was still in the air. 🤷‍♂️💯

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov Gavin: #ClaraAdams did *nothing* wrong. The standard to revoke anything earned should never be subjective opinion. Rather, it must objectively be, “Was anyone harmed against their will?”
- Victory earned
- No harm done
- Fix this

HEAVY pull day (back+biceps) & some light core work SHATTERED my single-day lifting volume PR on #Tonal, AFTER my day began with some fasted (pre-breakfast) #Zwift intervals around Paris.

When I was young I never imagined being able to do any of this as I'm nearing my 65th b-day. 💪🏼🚴‍♂️👍 #bodybuilding

@smartnews.bsky.social Is this the quintessential example of a bad algorithm or are you openly lying because you’ve bent the knee to a RAPIST?

My #Tonal just broke, so I’m sad. 😢 The left arm won’t slide up/down.

Called cust. svc. A contractor will call in a few days to schedule a repair to replace the same part(s) on both arms.

Sounds like I’ll be out of commission for at least 1-2 weeks.

Oh, well. I’ll get to #Zwift more now. 🚴

@profgalloway.com WTF?!? Donald Trump *is* a RAPIST! To say/write that is factually accurate, as Judge Kaplan made clear (e.g., “the jury found that Mr. Trump did exactly that.”).

However, it would be inaccurate—and defamation—to say/write he is a “criminal rapist”.

I was 61yo first time on #Tonal (4-15-22). Lifted just 626 lbs., yet it was SO DIFFICULT & I was SO SORE!!! But the next day I lifted again.

I’ve now used 181 movements, completed 492 workouts, & lifted >2.7M lbs.

Now, at 64yo, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. 💪 #fitness #exercise #BodyBuilding

Without trying (just let #Tonal decide what I’m ready for) I easily beat my one-month PR by 11,400 lbs. (+6.25%) despite (as a result of?) lifting seven (-33.33%) fewer days.

I attribute my progress to:
- consistent effort
- switch from full body to pull-push-legs&abs split
- drop sets
- rest days

Lite #Tonal push day. In part b/c chest flies are much lighter than presses, but mostly b/c I might’ve been needed as a fill-in for my wife’s pickleball foursome (nope).

Abs, shoulders, & (maybe) #Zwift today, then fixing Beef Italiano Mirpoix for dinner. #fitness #exercise #chef #cooking #culinary

Another slow pull day PR on #Tonal. Nearly 1,300 lbs. (7.5%) more than last week. #fitness #exercise #BodyBuilding

Side note: Between sets, I also learned a lot about—and experimented with #DeepSeek, the new inexpensive #OpenSource #AI threat to #OpenAI & #ChatGPT out of #China. It’s IMPRESSIVE!!!
