Just introducing myself...

[thebrick]

I thought I would post a pic of my old mug out here on my deck catching some sun. My wife and I love it out here. We have breakfast, coffee breaks and dinner out here. Now that I am entering my mid 50's and shrinking I thought I better do this now. Anyway, now you know.

thanks Kawasaki! yeah, hard to believe I have been here about 5 years now. Damn, time is flying! I like seeing actual pics behind the screen names of the bros here, so I though I would do the same... and it only took 5 years

Shit, there's actually someone out there older than me!!! I didn't think that was possible. Hey brick, No intro needed bud, you are well known and respected here. Shit what you lift the young ones are still trying to catch. Looking Good brother. Just look after that shoulder. Looks like a nice little place to sit and relax.........Cheers Brick!!

Not bad for an old geezer I am just about your age myself. Maybe one day I'll have the guts to post a pic.

your brother in Christ,

Lucky

HEY, BRICK! I'VE ENJOYED YOUR POSTS.

I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU POSTED THE PICTURE JUST SITTING THERE RELAXED, SITTING DOWN. MOST FOLKS WOULDN'T HAVE THE GUTS TO DO THAT....YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH FAT ON YOU...HELL, MOST FOLKS LOOK LIKE HELL SITTING LIKE THAT WITH NO SHIRT ON. PLENTY OF MUSCLE THERE TOO.

I THINK YOU SHOULD LET OTHER YOUNGER GUYS ON HERE IN ON WHAT TO EXPECT LONG TERM IN THE WAY OF HOW TO AVOID INJURIES, TRAINING ETC.

WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT GOALS?

THANKS FOR SHARING.

WHERE THE HECK IS THAT PICTURE TAKEN....LOOKS LIKE A REAL PRETTY AREA.

How did I miss this?

Great to see you post up that "mug shot!" hahaha. Looking great Brick! I tell you what man...I think WE ALL can only hope to look that good at your age! What a beautiful background that your blessed to enjoy everyday. I'm so glad you posted this brick. Its really been great getting to know you and having you on the board. Definitely a role model for us all! I'm just getting started with bodybuilding and all of this, but what I've enjoyed the most thus far is making so many new friends on this board. I'm going to save this photo in my photo album so that one day my grandchildren can see all of the friends that I made over the years. Thanks man for posting this!

Thanks for all your kinds words everyone! You guys are what makes this board rock!

Oldfella, I really like the positive energy you bring here! I am taking care of the shoulder numero uno, although I miss pressing the heavy stuff, at least I can do something in the gym and that keeps me sane. It hasn't slowed me any on the deadlifting! I go back in a couple weeks for my follow-up.

Luckyone, post a pic. We are family here! I think its cool to be able to put a face on the name!

JT, thanks for the compliments! I appreciate that! My goal at this point is to just keep training. I just love it and I don't ever want to stop. Its just part of me. I don't expect any big gains at this point in my life but I am using this down-time, to drop a little BF and try to maintain muscle. The pic is my backyard. I am down here in the sunny southeast... its beautiful, although the humidity in the summertime can gag a fly sometimes

Lynx, it is a dragon on my shoulder and an armband of dancing monkeys on my arm (ya gotta know me to understand that one)

Dad, thanks! We "old" guys gotta stick together!

Mack! Thank you! I am glad that you are here! I can tell you are a guy that loves to laugh and live and I like that a lot!
