Forum: Over 35 Workout Journals

I figured I would start a journal since I kicked off a fresh new 12 week lifting cycle yesterday. Not really sure what my goals are, just maintaining current mass and getting stronger. Maybe drop some BF. Keep in mind, I am also a home gym guy with dumbbells that only go up to 60 pounds (in case...

Hi guys / girls. My names Adam. 38 years old, 6ft 2in, 203 pounds & according to online bf calculators 19.5%. I have been working out for around 20 years on & off & have been in decent shape on occasions, but never less than approx 13ish bf%. Last year I was diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome...

Hello all, I am new to this forum and will be throwing my past year's collection of journal entries onto here for my own reference & historical purposes. Age: 35 (36 in 3 weeks) Height/weight: 5'10", 210bs. bf%: good enough to see abs & serratus, quad heads, and separation everywhere, but...

I finished up my last journal in late October, my last workout being October 20. On October 24, I underwent major abdominal surgery for a rare form of cancer in my appendix. My appendix was removed, of course, as was my spleen, some intra-abdominal fat, some connective tissue, and a few pounds of...

Left 24 Hour Fitness and now working out at my new home gym: I figure new gym, time for a new log. My old one is here. Some motivating music to kick things off: Sam4lq2WHos y34TbAxdvio

Well I'm finally taking the plunge and starting an online workout journal here. I originally posted this in the "regular" journal area but realized I really should put it here in the Over 35 area, so I deleted that one and am creating a new journal here. I am 40 years old 6'1" tall and 228 lbs. I...

I am back to journal here to keep track of my workouts. I have started a new program and I need a place to really keep up with my numbers. Here is the workout for anyone interested. https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-best-damn-workout-plan-for-natural-lifters It is basically a...

Howdy Folks, I've been on this forum for a few months now over in the Power Lifting Forum and finally realized today, after some looking around, that I am in fact, "old". That is why I am relocating my journal over to this area. To be honest, powerlifting/strongman was probably not the best...

grouchyjarhead here. Long story short, thought I reset my password, sure didn't, and can't recover my account as it's on an old email address. Whatever. Here's my new one. I'll try to catch up as I can to those who I used to follow/help out. Over the weekend, I completed the GORUCK Tough and...

My first journal entry, will try to keep it current I am in week 2 of my first attempt at 531 Catch-up Body weight 190 Thurdsay Dec 1

Hey all - new to this forum, but I've been around the bodybuilding/powerlifting forums for many years. The main one I post at seems to be closing down so I'll be posting my lastest workouts here for my reference and historical purposes. Age: 38 Height: 6'2" Weight: ~250lbs BF: There's...

Lets see how long I keep this going. This is simple no nonsense strength training but its not something you'll see very often, no belts, no wraps/straps. I've been training one day a week for the last 1.5 years. Saturday 3/30/19 I've been starting with dead lifts for over 6 months, time...

My record keeping sucks and wanted to have an easy access place to keep track of my deadlift log. So basically just updating this once a week. 3/2/1 is a modified Wendler 5/3/1 that Mike Robertson came up with. So instead of week 1 being 65% x 5, 75% x 5 and 85% x 5, it would be 65% x 3, 75%x3 and...

Got mild sleep apnea, been experimenting with exercises to strengthen the associated orofacial muscles. (tongue, lips, etc) Actually saw some minor positive results, but then I thought hey these are just muscles right? So I'm gonna try implement bodybuilding theory to them for 6-12 months and...

So I decided to start a journal here to track my strength training progress and some other statistics. I keep a detailed workbook offline, but thought it a decent idea to put something here in case I need some feedback or just for reference (if only for myself). I plan to keep track of the...
