6'3", 225 lbs, 52 years. Ruptured L4/5 and following discectomy make me careful about good form. I can't overload my spine.

My workout style is mostly geared toward muscular endurance. I like to do 100 reps of whatever it is I am doing that day.

Mainstay exercises of my workout are pullups, bench press (dumbell/barbell), pushups, shrugs, sumo squats, calf raises, ab crunches, treadmill walking.

I'll throw in some bicep curls, tricep extensions, and wrist curls now and then.

Typical upper body workout - 100 pullups, 100 bench press, 100 shrugs.

Typical lower body - 100 sumo squats, 100 calf raises, 100 crunches, treadmill incline walk.

I'm not too much of a nutrition nazi, but try to eat generally healthy. I could stand to lose 10 lbs or so.

Wife took this pic last summer as I was finishing an upper body workout,
