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?!? 🤷‍♂️💪

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. 🤷‍♂️💯

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

I know nothing of the game, but Enter The Dragon starring Bruce Lee was an absolutely thrilling part if my childhood.

Jehovah’s Witnesses mailed us a flyer with an image of their version of Jesus. Until it arrived, I had never imagined Zac Efron playing the Christian messiah. 🤷‍♂️ #religion #Christianity #Jesus #ZacEfron #Hollywood #movies #acting

Would you by a Zwift:Ride (ZR) version of your favorite road/gravel bike to use exclusively on #Zwift? #cycling #paincave #Pinarello #Specialized #Trek

Who determines—and using what standard—whether it is “unbridled hate” to post, for example, the legal fact that Donald Trump is a RAPIST?

He is not a criminally convicted RAPIST, but per Judge Kaplan, “as many people commonly understand the word “rape”…the jury found that [he] did exactly that.”
February 10, 2025 at 2:30 PM
@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?

Literally 9 of 10 (90%) of articles at the top of my feed are from the #HateForProfit network!🖕

Give #Zwift your tired riders.

Your ex-Peloton subscribers.

Your muddied masses of gravel bikers yearning to breathe.

The blessed excuses of your cycling teams so sore.

Send these, the #paincave, rocker-tossed to me.

I fight my cramps atop this golden floor!

NOTE: Apologies to Ms. Lazarus. 🤷‍♂️🤣

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. 🚴

He’s a RACIST & RAPIST.

But, to be fair & accurate, not everyone who voted for him is a racist/rapist.

However, it is both fair & accurate to say that everyone who voted for him supported a RACIST & RAPIST.

He does tolerate/use/“help” a minority when it benefits him & that clearly fools some. 💯
February 3, 2025 at 2:25 PM
@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

I’m no threat to win #MasterChef, but my Beef Italiano Mirepoix turned out pretty good today.

Thanks for being a true American hero, Jim. Maybe we’ll meet in one of the inevitable #Trump concentration camps ran by those who support—or cowardly bend the knee to—the RAPIST. #JimAcosta #BoycottCNN

#CNN is now the newest #FakeNews.

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!!!
January 27, 2025 at 9:11 PM
It takes me a lot (2x-3x) longer at my age (64yo), but *some* of my daily totals are right up there with you now.

For example, last Monday (pull day) I lifted over 17k.

I’m not trying to do more (no ego lifting); just lifting whatever weight(s) #Tonal sets for me.

Drop sets definitely help! 💪

Just watched Kieran Culkin give an Oscar-worthy performance alongside co-star, writer & director Jesse Eisenberg in “A Real Pain”. It might be the most aptly-titled #movie ever & for many nuanced & profound reasons. Well done! 👍👍👏 #Oscars #AcademyAwards #ARealPain #KieranCulkin #JesseEisenberg #IMDb
