On crazy mode again and it feels so good. No wonder I feel like shit when i have a lapse in savagery. Funny enough it makes me much nicer but also douchey sounding. Just bonking I suppose.

Share your strategies to beast up. Mine is pure self hate. Works very well.

I got a weight lying around just use it occasionally though I need to exercise more often though and engage in bs stuff less.
 
Are we talking about lifting or jerking off ?

I'm maintaining my fit level and toning. I don't lift as heavy as I did in my twenties, knocking on the fifties now, I am doing my best to keep the middle tire to a minimum. I have a sixpack, but only 2-4 is visible at any time, because I'm not interested in killing myself. I held the physical fitness record for the Phoenix Physical Agility test for Firefighters for the three years I tried to get on in my mid-twenties. 2 minutes 32 seconds. I have definitely felt old age with the enjoyment of beer, pizza and chocolate as my main vices and it sucks to no longer being chisled, but I do get a lot of comments that I look like I am in my early thirties by anyone trying to figure my age.

My personal goal/achievement is for my age group (46-50 yo) Maximum requirements as my base for the USMC fitness requirements:

Min/Max
Pullups: 5/19 - I can do 35 Pullups without stopping.
Pushups: 25/68 - I can do 78 pushups without stopping.
Crunches: 50/100 - I Crunch until I want to stop more than 100, they are easy.
3-mile run: 30:00/19:00 - I don't run so I walk 5.2 miles every other day as my base cardio in just over 1 hour keeping a fast walking pace.

I do pull ups and kettlebells year round, but in the warm weather I add jogging to the routine. Running in the winter in Canada is dumb. Usually it starts to warm up around April and once all the snow melts away and there aren't massive puddles everywhere I get jogging.

I definitely do more with the kettlebells during the summer though. Swinging outside in the sun while working on the tan makes it more enjoyable.

I need to invest in a set of kettlebells. I am really interested in doing the base exercises with them and just doing body weight exercises (in addition) in lieu of bars and dumbells that I am doing now:
  1. The Squat.
  2. The Swing.
  3. The Press.
  4. The Clean.
  5. The Snatch.
  6. The Turkish Get Up.
The Turkish Get Up is as close to a full body workout if I had to choose just one that didn't include pull up bars. Core workouts are the foundation for everything else.

I did three months at my old gym kettlebells only everyday. Turkish get ups were incorporated damn near everyday. That workout is brutal. I got a different kind of strong. It was a pretty fun thing to do. I was doing a ton of box jumps all the time too. All kettlebells and explosive workouts. I was doing hot yoga four nights a week too. i was a shredded mofo at that time. Felt loose, felt good.

It's amazing how you feel when you start doing kettlebells. Really agile and explosive, tons of energy. The one thing I don't do is the Turkish get up because I mentioned in the chiropractor thread I had neck problems and that always aggravated my pinched nerve. But now that it's been taken care of, I think I'm going to try them again starting really light (20 lbs) to focus on form and not re-injure myself. If it's all good then I'll start moving up.

Turkish get ups are the type of strong when you want to fling yourself at mofo's in a pit, take down four or five guys then leap off them back into slam dancing while they wonder what the fuck happened. Lifting downed people so they are up on their feet and have no idea how they got there.

OR

Running jumps up block walls to scale them as you turn sideways and use your momentum and shoulders to clear the obstacle and not look back. Lifting yourself up tree branches as you clamber just to show you can.

As I have aged, I stop heavy everything and just maintain. I have hurt my rotator cuffs (helping a friend move old ford parts from one shop to another), hurt my hips and ankles from decades of skateboarding which is why I don't run, and other various things of just living an active and rambunctious life.

Don't ever worry about going heavy if your body tells you otherwise. You can always go the route of Bruce Lee and do max reps with little to no weight and tone up. Body only weight exercising is underrated, especially when it doubles as a cardio workout.
