Current Physical Attributes: Gender: Male Age: 52 Weight: 218 lbs. Body Fat: 22.4% Height: 70” Chest: 50” Waist: 38.25” Arms: 16.75” Shoulders: 54” Forearms: 13.75” Neck: 17.25” Hips: 42” Thighs: 24.25” Calves: 16.25” Nutritional Main attributes: Caloric intake varies but is nominally 1,500 calories on non-workout days and around 2,000 on workout days. Protein varies but I try for 170 grams on non-workout days and 300+ on workout days. Carbohydrates I try to be under 100 grams target. Fats I try to be under 50 grams target. Supplements: Coffee mixed with Whey Isolate Plus Elite Series Protein as a pre-workout drink; Other Daily Supplements: Vitamins – GNC Mega Men Performance and Vitality, 1 packet; GNC - DHEA 100 Timed Release; Spring Valley - Calcium 600mg With Vitamin D, 3 tablets; Nature's Bounty - 1200mg Fish Oil / Omega Rapid Release Liquid Softgel, 1 softgels; Spring Valley Natural Super B-Complex - Energy Metabolism, 3 tablet; Simply Right - Slow Release Iron, 1 pill; Nature Made - Vitamin D 2000 I.U., 1 tablet; Muscletech - Whey Isolate Plus Elite Series Protein (Decadent Chocolate); Protein Bar-pure Protein - High Protein Chocolate Peanut Training Routine: This is my total body target routine for Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. I do total body three days a week due to my life's time constraints. You may notice it is mostly machines. The reason being is I am pushing my body with as much weight as I can but I don't have a workout partner for spotting. The routine typically takes about 3.5 hours to complete. The plank is what I term a Superman Plank with feet on a platform and arms fully extended with TRX bands (body parallel to the floor). Roto Torso is a seated rotational torso machine that I do both right at 70 degrees and left at 70 degrees for three sets each. Although I have a 30 second rest between sets in the routine I have on my Jefit Application, I try not to use all of that. My typical rest is more like 15 seconds between sets and 60-80 seconds between exercises (re-rack weights, clean equipment, and setup next exercise). Cardio (treadmill) is the last thing done for 30 minutes with a 10-15% incline at about 3.8-4.0 mph for about 30 minutes.
