[Dead Corpse]

I started lifting at age 14. I’m 43 now.

20” neck. 52” chest. 20” arms. 28” thighs. 22” calves.

1RM on bench was 485. 505 squat. 640 deadlift.

Somewhere out there is a picture of me on a hip-sled with over 1200lbs of weight on it.

My knees are toast and I’ve torn ligaments in both shoulders. I don’t bench over 315 these days.

I’m also sporting about 30lbs of “extra” weight due to being off schedule the last 5-6 years.

Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Have you tried the Euro Workout? ;)

I have been doing my own version of the percolating pectorals for years and years (yes, my wife thinks I am juvenile, too bad—it’s her fault for marrying me!).

I’m a year behind and not as big. At 39 I started signing up for runs -no way I was going to run without some motivation. I’m not fast but I have decent endurance (cranked out a marathon without training).

Feel great but I’m not able to keep the mass on like before.

20” neck

Nobody has a neck that long.

"My knees are toast and I’ve torn ligaments in both shoulders."

I know your pain. I had to get both shoulders rebuilt when I was 40 yrs old and couldn't lift my arms to shut off the alarm clock. It was more due to my clavicle scraping my humerus joint, but the surgeon commented on "the extremely active life" I've led. In years past, @ 168 lbs, I was matching Nate Newton, the all-pro, 350lb lineman for the Cowboys, rep-for-rep on the lat pull down (probably 375lbs x 5 reps). Yeah, it kind of hurt my spine too.

I started weight training about 1988. Within a few months I blew a Mitral valve and ended up having a mechanical replacement in 1990.

No more weights for me! Walking is my thing, but not to excess!

Does your husband lift too?

You hardly sound like a dead corpse.
