Forum: Over Age 35

Have been strength training for over a year and have settled into a three day on, one rest, then repeat cycle working a different muscle group on the active days. Example being CST then BB then Legs then Rest. But sometimes I feel sufficient mojo to cut out the rest day and start CST again and...

I have been researching German Volume Training and understand it's 3 out of 5 day split. If done properly, I shouldn't require a 4 th day of training. Currently, I have been training 4-5 days a week and was wondering what I could incorporate for a 4th day, if I decide to start this training. Maybe...

Around 18 months or so ago I went into the family doc for the checkup. Told him I didn't have the get up and go like I once did and was battling depression. He checked my blood test and said it was very low and recommended T-shots once a month. I asked if there was anything natural that would...

I keep cramping in my feet and hands after a workout session....is this common among lifters..as it causes me grief...even though ive taken to wearing ankle and wrist wraps

Hi all, I know this is an age old problem, but although I am making great gains in muscle, my left arm is quite a lot bigger than the right, in the triceps area. I know some people say it will catch up, but is it worth doing some single arm routines after training both? Cheers David

Just throwing this out there as it's crossed my mind lately. I train with a 4 day split, pull/push/legs/arms and whatever else I feel is lacking. Occasionally I'm forced to take a week off due to work schedule and I've noticed that coming back after that week off I tend to be a bit stronger than...

Just checking to see if anyone has heard of this or had any similar experience: Last night I was doing a set of 20-rep squats, which I've been doing as part of my training for the last couple of months. I had moved up in weight, and it was very intense at the end of the set, and BOOM I got hit with...

I can't seem to do squats correctly. For years I stayed away from squats cause I never nailed the proper form. I have super hight arches in my feet so probably that's why my ankles are not that flexible. That means when I duck I seem to lean forward and that's a no no. Any thoughts???

I developed the dreaded tennis elbow about 2 1/2 months ago, so I took a break from playing tennis and all upper body work about 2 1/2 months ago. I used this time to work on my legs and cardio, and also lost about 8 lbs using the standard ~500 per day calorie deficit. Went out and played tennis...

You guys have inspired me to get back to deadlifting. After many weeks of deadlifting I finally hit twice my body weight 345. You can see a pic in my progress photos. My back has never been better. Now chasing 405. Billy

I needed to add something new to my fitness life. Walking has served me well. Lifting weights has been both good and bad. My fault for not having a good diet in place while smashing heavy weights. I wanted a new challenge. Setting PRs is not very easy anymore for lifting. I have not set a...
