Super User A-Jay Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 I made a commitment to get & stay in shape as well as lead a reasonably healthy life style. During this journey I’ve been fortunate to be able to come back well from the setbacks that inevitably come to us all. For those who share these ideals, I hope you are able to stay focused & strong to that end. To those who don’t, I hope you can find it in yourself to make it happen. Btw – I made this particular resolution & commitment in 1977. A-Jay 6 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted January 24, 2015 Author Super User Posted January 24, 2015 Wow! I'm glad we're on the same team. You're lookin' stealth. Do you have a special diet as well? Special Diet ? That term means something different to everyone. I eat in a manner that supports my goals. The food is both fuel & a tool. I eat least 5 or 6 times a day, meal sizes start larger and decrease as the day goes on. Been doing it that way for several years (35+) and as I age it's changed a bit here and there. I do not believe any of it is a secret and it's something anyone can do. Just have to make it a priority. Doesn't make anyone a better person, but I certainly feel better when it's going right.

Super User roadwarrior Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 Geez...I'm worn out just watching that video. I have switched almost entirely to grapes or marinated ice cubes. Still have a barley soda occasionally, but I don't need the bonus calories anymore. Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 Nice work AJ! Medical setbacks have dampered my 2014-2015 fitness goals. If I get my health back I am going "all in" Keep up the good work! Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 Dang! A-jay.. Here I thought you were a older dude like myself.. Hmm, you sure you're not in your 30's ? Nice Disipline ! Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 Geez A-Jay I was using 300 on that same machine & now you using 310. I'll never catch up. 1 Quote
Smokinal Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Nice job brother! I'm on a winter bulk right now as a matter of fact; going good for me so far. I have been lifting for that past 31 yrs and it's definitely a way of life for me now. I had shoulder surgery in Jan 2014 and I'm pretty much fully recovered now; able to press full boat. I, too, urge everyone to get on some sort of fitness program, no matter what it is, just start something. You'll be happy you did. Nice wheels btw 1 Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 Seven. Minute. Aaaabs. I have a variation of that I fondly refer to as my "seven donut abs". 3 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 25, 2015 Author Super User Posted January 25, 2015 Geez A-Jay I was using 300 on that same machine & now you using 310. I'll never catch up. Go for it Dwight - you can do it. . . . And before anyone calls me on it - The manufacture of that particular apparatus (Powertec) lists the safe working load for squats on that Leverage machine as 300, so I was a little over. But I won't tell them if you don't. A-Jay 1 Quote
Smokinal Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 As impressed as I was with the 310, I was equally impressed with the Fenway sweatshirt!! 1 Quote

Thanks - We're Fenway Freaks. That's a 100 anniversary special Jersey right there. And of course we did have to name a dog Fenway. A-Jay Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted January 25, 2015 Super User Posted January 25, 2015 I gave up the 12oz curls in October and have already lost 25lbs Precursor : this Is not to take away from the current theme of the thread. I, In my younger years, was a functional problem drinker. I quit entirely for six years, started back and after gaining 55 lbs. (enjoyed the fire out of the social aspect) I finally decided to cut back so much that to this day If I tip an alcoholic beverage It's a lot to have more than a few beers every couple of months. AJ... Nice work! The longevity alone Is admirable! 1 Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted January 25, 2015 Super User Posted January 25, 2015 A-Jay you are the man! I made the same commitment three years ago next month. I figure that if I stay focussed for another thirty-five years I will be able to post my videos on whatever is the YouTube of the time...of course I'll be ninety-three... 1 Quote
mrmacwvu1 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Gave up beer and smokes two weeks ago Started working out again Already lost ten pounds and feel better physically and mentally Since high school I probably never went more then three days without a beer Some weeks I would drink every day I always smoked more when I drank so when I gave up drinking the smokes were easy.

mrmacwvu1 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks man I'll add this as a man who has lived it; What you're really doing is taking control of your life, instead of letting your life Happen To You. The spirit liberating confidence a man gains from this can not be imaged or understood unless it is lived. Good Luck A-Jay 1 Quote
