All right, since then I've lived a life. I'm still married after 44 years to my gorgeous wife. I've raised three beautiful, successful children, and I'm now a nonno. And, Sal, you'll appreciate this. Both myself and my wife are of Italian heritage. I'm Sicilian. My wife comes from the north of Italy, a little place called Belluno, north of Venice.

So we constantly have debates on what being Italian really is because we're so far apart. Anyway, through all these chapters of life, I've kept passionate to my weight training, all being the varying degrees of motivation and availability. Life gets in the way sometimes. And I've had my own set up in the garage here for about 30 odd years. So I've got no excuses. All right, fundamentals.

I've been weight training 50 years. I weigh 78 kilos, which is about 172 pounds. I'm 175 centimetres tall, which is about 5 foot 9, but I'm shrinking. Another beautiful aspect of getting older. 27% body fat, according to my scale this morning. I average about 2,500, 2,600 calories a day. Always prioritise my protein. I get about 160 to 180 grams a day.

For instance, this morning I'm going to have chicken thigh fillets for breakfast, which much to my wife's disgust. Now, I've always trained a four-day split, and that's part of my question that I'm coming to you guys with. I currently bench 200. I do squats and powerlifts. I know I've heard you guys go over and over and over this. I haven't done squats or powerlifts for most of my training career.

I've only just started. The reason being is... I've always thought it puts too much pressure on my lower back. And some of the big gorillas I used to train with in the 80s and 90s, they've all got back issues now. And I've sort of justified that in my mind. But I'm coming around, and I'd like you to hammer that into me, I guess.

In my training career, I've torn a pec, I've torn a lat, I've dislocated my shoulder about four or five times. I've torn my right bicep in half. I only have half a bicep in my right arm. All these things to show you that I am committed to what I do. I love it. Absolutely love it. I don't train hard anymore, but I am consistent. All right, what's my question?

I suppose I am starting to waffle on even now. Bloody hell.
