Getting old & weak bros. Did a Before & After the other night. First set is over a decade ago. 2nd set is last night. My body always fluctuates depending on my extra-curricular activities. Still, I need to kick it into a new gear. Miss dem traps

MInute, you're still a beast.

I'm using my legs being injured since June of last year as an excuse, but that's pretty pussifed. Shit happens & those are the times you gotta step it up to compensate. I did change a lot for my sports. Climbing & slingin at the bulk of those first pictures was damn near impossible. I was considerably less agile at that size. Still, I miss them traps & age halts for no man. The good news is that starting next week I'm going back on my progression routine. At a notably lower base point for my legs of course, but this past year I've been pretty stagnant.

Looking for some improvements in my delts because we're going on a climbing trip on the 16th of next month. First one I've done in almost a year. I know my knee is going to be an issue, but we'll see how I fair. I'm excited!

[Alluveal]

You look awesome, super M. I don't see aging, I see more refined features in the face (less body fat?).

[Harlowe]

I agree with Alluveal. I think you look lean and super healthy now, not at all pussified. That bulky business doesn't seem overall as healthy as lean-mean fighting machines. Sure the bulk looks nice, but the people living to their 100's seem to be the more muscle-lean folks.

[Alluveal]

Yeah, I like the pic on the right better, actually. You just look, I don't know, more "cut" in a sense. I know that sounds weird.

[Minute]

Well thanks. You'll notice my legs aren't in that picture. They are Entering month 5 of what's supposed to be a 9 month recovery. Which means I'm quickly running out of excuses

The REAL reason no one disregareded Minute's raid rules.....

Because the only thing bigger than me was my ability to bitch?

I think it's ironic that I first grouped with Minute in "the hole."

For me it was his wicked Plane of Hate raids. He was so consistent, it definitely brought your game up... and how I got my full set of purple armor eventually. I loved that armor and the old world appearance. After Luclin, plate armor looked like absolute shit on females, especially DE's with that awful helmet.

[Alluveal]

I hated the new models with dark elves. Alluveal looked like a transvestite.

Jeez Minute, there's a shit-ton of commitment in those photos. Nice.

w3rd. Thanks!


I bought another new pair of Vibrams today. This is my 3rd or 4th pair. I swear I'm like a girl with these things LOL

[Harlowe]

I really want to get a pair of Vibrams. I just don't know if I'd be a little wuss about wearing them out in public.

They are really comfortable. Great for lifting because they get awesome traction. I'm not a runner, but I'm told they do great stuff for mid-stride too. I like'em a lot.

So now I've gone in my workouts with the trainer from 1.5 rotations through the cycle in 30 minutes to about 2.5 rotations through, and my weights have increased.

How come it feels like I'm even worse off then I was when I started?

Unless I missed it I haven't seen the routine you're doing. Would be interested in seeing that. Might be able to give some incite as to why you feel worse off. That most definitely should not be the case. I do remember you mentioning that you thought you were increasing too fast.

[Harlowe]

Minute is the experct, but isn't that outcome pretty common in folks starting out that do not allow for enough recovery time?
