pics at 35 and still trying

[revexrevex]

You look awesome. Very thick, and your forearms are huge. Got any back pics?

I`m 35 years old on Monday July 7th. These are my pics I need encouragement. It`s really tough these days for a wannabe like me. My test production is down in the dumps. I`m starting to like Oprah. Damn

For all you young noobs, Do it right the first time. Don`t wait till your 30`s.

Seriously, I`m 6'3 and about 220. I accidently left the "outside" lens on my camera when taking these indoors. duh... Does that come with old age too? lol

not sure if this will work,

Thanks bro, No back pics. I just took these yesterday. Yes My forearms are one of my best bodypart lol I`d love to trade em for legs or something. lol

btw I did 405 partial deads the other day for 4 reps (first time doing them) and my grip was solid, so there goes the forearms working. lol

Well I squatted 160 last week and 180 this week so I`m not even gonna post the legs. I`m a mess. lol thanks again I enjoy your videos btw rev. very helpful

You said your test production is down, so I assume you're natural. Pretty impressive for a 35-year-old natural. Keep hitting the legs with squats, deads and leg presses. They'll grow.

i hope i look like that at thirty five

i'm eighteen, you look swoll grandpa, just kidding, you look swoll.

 

[jerkbox]

hard to believe at 6'3" you only weigh 220, you look pretty solid.


what are you goals?

 

[rnch]

wudda taken you for 28 or so........age is just a number on your driver's license.

I`m sorry sonny, I did`nt hear ya. You gotta talk in this ear. lol

Let me just say at 18 or 20`s even you can do so much, don`t let the pictures fool ya. I hope you get better than those pics in a couple of years. good luck.

This is what I did in the past year or so. Was at 220 and balloned to 250 got fat too but was really thick. got injured went down to 230 then CKD and went to 200 and 10% bodyfat. Now I`m 220 again and sort bulking or Just having fun. you know.
My point is if I can do all that naturally at 35, you can do MORE at 18+. good luck

Well if I gain 10 to 20 pounds from my legs growing... then 240`s not bad. lol

My avatar pic is when I was on my last week of CKD and 200 pounds. So it`s a little smaller and deflated.

Hate to say it but no goals really. OH NO! ha ha just wanna stay in shape and get symetrical , add more size. I love working out. It`s a lifestyle will not stop if I don`t have to. Although one day I may cross over to the dark side. lol cause I really am starting to feel it.

Also, looking into HST, We`ll see how that goes.

[MeatHead57]

As with everything...it will come in time.

Maybe you can appreciate this...but my girlfriend and I were in the pool today talking about all the things that we wanted to do but never had time for...I got to thinking about the old song by Jim Croce...

'...there never seems to be enough time, to do the things you wanna do...once you find them.'

You're looking great. I'm 35 too, but have a little more fat than you do. I'm 6'2 at around 225. I'd look good if I could get down to around 190-200. I just did a 220 squat the other day, which I was proud of. Takes longer for us older folks to get to the bigger weights I think (and not hurt our backs, hehe).

 

[Deleted member 33117]

Come on guys! 35 isn't that old. You're only as old as you feel. Look at guys like Bill Pearl (who is 73) or Albert Beckles (who is around 65's). These guys look amazing. Personally, its my goal to look as good as Bill Pearl does at 73 when I'm 50. Don't let your age be a stumbling block for you. If you set your mind too it, both of you will continue to look better and better each year, and maybe when you are 55 you'll look better than you do now at 35. Its a matter of not only drive, but of believing in yourselves.

my dad is 43, last summer he was putting up 400s on the bench, i can only hope ill be in that shape in 20 years.

one of my motos - age means nothing, its all about how you feel.

 

[michaelcoutts]

better late than never as the saying goes.

Have u considered waxing your chest and stomach Austin? It will help bring out some better definition in your muscles and make u look younger. (unless u love your body hair)

 

[gonelifting]

Thanks all.

I shaved about 2 months ago lol. I never go around shirtless or even go out of my house. so why would I bother shaving everyday. It`s too much work for me.

Also, I feel that people think I`m feeling sorry for myself at age 35. It may have come out that way, but I`m good with it. It`s just that I`m realising that it`s not as easy when you get older than before. that`s all. Your body just does`nt react the same. Don`t say I did`nt warn you. lol
