Forum: Over Age 35

I hope this is the right section. It's the closest I could find. Here's my story: I used to be very fit, but I was training for fitness, not for any specific goal such as size, strength etc. It was all functional and I was very functional. For ten years I haven't done anything. In the...

I am 47, used to be young dumb and full of cum. Now I’m beat up and fat. I think I am at a point where I can go one of two ways. I used to be able to grab myself by the bootstraps but I have very slowly faded away. I need a belief and a vision. I used to love to lift, not so much cardio...

Hey all, just turned 47 this week, so definitely qualify in the 35+ group. The week before I turned the clock, I had my first stem cell treatment. A good friend of mine of over 15 years ago built his business from nothing and has become a huge success in just 3 short years. I had a heart murmur in...

I posted progress pictures on here when I finished my cut at the end of 2019. At that time I had also recorded a few videos of some poses but never shared them anywhere. This video summarizes my weight loss / fitness journey in 27 seconds with a few poses at the end and figured I would share it...

tl;dr - my left inner arm started hurting last year to the point i couldn't exercise. done all the right things including rest. it still hurts. Help please! im 48, moderately fit /healthy for the real world, not so much compared to you guys. I have a home 'gym' and during lockdown last year...

Hi, I joined BB.com a couple of days ago and I spent some time visiting the forums and reading some threads, posts, etc. in orther to gather some informations and see what's the general mood here. As much as I've not experienced any personal problem, I must say this place is the most toxic I've...

Copy and paste from my workout journal Legs today and getting frustrated. Front Squats 135x8 145x5 145x6 but I tweaked my right hip again somehow. Squats setup for 185 but the hip started to hurt right away. Did 5 reps with poor rom. Switched after a rest to some bench squats with 135 for...

Gyms have been shut here in the UK since 4th Jan (almost 2 weeks). During the first lockdown I was OK. I was determined not to lose what I'd worked hard to gain and got creative, doing pull ups, weighted push ups, flipping tyres in a field, etc. This time around though, I can barely find the...

I’ve been chasing this one for awhile and finally hit it tonight. Not the cleanest press but it went up. With a 270lb bench around the corner, a 315lb current squat and a 455lb current deadlift I think I’ll die a happy man. yt-EdtAfXlk

Hey all - What are your thoughts regarding going to failure? (failure defined as not being able to do another rep with proper form). Of course there's lots opinions on the web (Dr. Mike Israetel says no need to because it will negatively impact your next workout so leaving 2 reps in the tank is...

Hello, I am in my early 50s and have experience working out since I was 35. I had a routine that involved push ups back in june-September and my knuckles were always dry and bleeding with cuts on both hands. I switched my routine in September and eliminated push ups just to change up my routine...

No date but rumour is gyms in UK reopen July if all is well. The uk's trade association for gyms ukactive has guidance which is fairly vague https://www.ukactive.com/covid-19 but does have specific things such as workout towels banned, 3m squared per person and obvious things about cleaning....

Why don't I feel as exerted exercising on a rowing machine as I do with jogging, even when the rowing machine is on highest resistance?

I'm looking to have my blood work done. I do not have insurance/primary care. So I'm looking to choose one of the MANY options from Quest labs or similar. The problem is, THERE ARE SO MANY CHOICES! I'm not sure which is the correct for me. I have recently started on TRT (about 9 weeks now), so...

Hello All - new here! I'm a 36M, naturally thin build. Ran distance track and cross country collegiately at 6'2, 150. Fast forward 15 years, and I turned into a 220 pound over weight desk sitter; not good. Over the past 9 months, I took up running again, and dropped down to the 170-80 range...

I was wondering if there was any interest in a good app for weightlifting/Bodybuilding. Right now the apps available are lacking. The app I was thinking about would give you a 5 days of workouts (Chest, Shoulders, Back, Arms, Legs) for the week. Then on Sunday new exercises would be setup for...

Hello. I hope you all had a merry Christmas! Wondering if you could help me structuring a training plan with the tools I have. My gym didn't reopen after the first lockdown and I don't have any other options close to me. We're in lockdown again, anyways. This is what I have in my garage (no...

Hi guys, I’m new around here and looking for a bit of help. I’m now late 30s and have recently put quite a few lbs on due to being stuck at home. I reckon 40lbs needs to go to get my abs on show. I’m overweight but relatively fit and strong and have been doing the fierce five workout for a...
