My 1st self pix...:)

[parrish]

Mostly every one else posts so I thought I would show mine before my hernia operation to motivate me to get back into top shape again
No pix of my legs but I dont train for size anymore as I am 38 with a bum back and squats I just can't do.
My squat max used to be 365 for 6 & 235 for 36 but that was after 5 sats of extension,5 hams,6 sets of leg presses 990 for 4 was my max there.
I LOVED TRAINING LEGS TOO!!!
.Now I just bike & run so my Arnold classic photo should show my wheels.

If you look above my belltbutton you can see a BUBBLE??
My HERNIA ............look exactly like a ****in ALIEN is going to jump out of me!
How I wish I was 22 again

I have no idea???
The day before my operation I did 375 crunches before my workout and never felt a thing?He said thing like this happen naturally so no biggie.
I had a cyst/tumor close to my armpit that needed to be removed so the Dr. did a 2 for 1 type oporation to fix it.
I played seniorA fastpitch so I always did alot of forarm work,wrist curls (5 set 95lbs-10-15 reps) and forarm curls 65-95lbs for 7-15 reps.
I was never a seriously strong lifter but when I did high reps 7 years ago consistancy and diet helped define my physique.

looking good bro. What are you stats?

I don't really keep track,like stepping on a scale you feel good step on the scale and it ruins your whole freakin week
About 5'8 170 ,42 reg suit,legs used to be 25 inches now about 22 1/2(back).
My max flat bench is 291 but I don't do flat anymore,100lb dumbells for 3-4 on my 8th set just to give you an idea.

[evansss]

[Old Balls]

I feel you on the scale, I've pretty much cut out weighing myself cuz I expect way too much. I just use the mirror now, it's the best because I'm a bber and that's all that really counts.

I don't flat bench anymore either, after a recent shoulder injury. I miss it, but I gotta stay away for at least a little while...

Keep up the good work.

[outlawtas2]

BTW how'd you get the hernia?

38's still young anyways, you look better than 90% of the 22 year olds I see!

[estray]

Lookin good bro!

OUTLAWS hernia read above..
Yeah gotta keep the shoulders tight..I used to press behind the neck 205 for 2 and 195 for 3...now I do read,front delts then shoulder press for reps like 20,15,12,6...Like I tell the kids in there you try to do max, 3 people see you then you tear somthing and cannot do anything for 6 months or destroy completely and end up looking like shit!
After so many injuries it's better to look like you bench 3 plates than actually do it

[parrish]

[hmlacrosse]

[parrish]

What's your cycle history ?

I am 38 when I was 20 I did russian d-bol for 6 weeks then 3 years later I did 2 weeks of deca.Considering doing deca again as I have been told that it improves your joints for months afterwards if you lift responsibly.I lift for reps & the pump maybe once ever 3-4 months I will try a max.

[gs_980]

it's nice to see someone honestly state their stats. Lookin good and solid, congrats.

[bronx_brawla]

Lookin' solid.

[luquillo78]

Looking excellent parrish. I hope I could look like you do when I'm 38 (I'm 28 now). You're very lean. Your %bf is under 10%.
Do you stay lean all year long?

In the last 4 years I have gone no longer than 4 days without a workout.this really sucks!!
If you look up you will notice I just had a hernia operation & a cyst removed........so no weights for 6 weeks
I guess that's why I have been hanging on this site so often
My bf goes from 7% I would say in the picture to maybe 14% right now
**** what can you do?
Cardio bike,eliptical,run I do 4 times a week with 4 days of weights too.
Diet is HUGE.I truly believe I look better now is beacause I can finally afford the food !! Honestly it is cheaper and faster to take a few CC a week but what I keep is real..even though it is not that muchif yoou really want hardcore help look under Vince Gioranda,he used to wrtie for Musclemag years ago before he passed.A real oldtimer hardcore type guy that brings you back to the basics.
