Maybe this is overly simplistic, but for me it has just boils down to listening to my body. I go through several months at a time when I can lift very heavy(for me) with no pain. Other times...

reading through this thread = first RL lol in a long while.

I wouldn't get to hung up on a mental debate with yourself over using machines.

I have given up, or modified several lifts over the years to work around nagging injuries or pain from certain...

When I hit 50 I was a fat 232lbs. Got motivated to lose weight after seeing a picture of myself in a swimsuit, and spent a year trimming down, and finally ended up looking fairly lean at 168lbs.

This thread is useless without pictures.

I would really recommend you read the stickys in the nutrition section. Very good information there and that is where I started 3 years ago when I came to this site.

Learn how to accurately count...

Thank you, but compared to what I looked like when I turned 50, you would hardly know I was the same person. Proper diet and exercise with a purpose is an amazing tool.

No real trick to it that I know of. just live the lIfe style that matches the way you want to look.

I spent my 40s sitting on the couch watching TV and I Was fat and I was lazy. when I started...

I have the restmed nasal pillow style. I loved my cpap from the first night. I have had apnea since I was in my 20s but did not get a cpap until 6 years ago. Best thing I have ever done for myself,...

I turned 51 somewhere in the 30 to 35% bodyfat range. I saw some pictures of myself from a lake trip in a swimsuit, and was disgusted at how I looked. Started working out 3 days a week, and read up...

I have to agree that there is probably more going on than just the weights that I am training with. But, my wife does say she won't watch me lift because she says I look like I am going to pop a...

Yea, from what I have read, it does not injure your eye, but it looks awful. It takes mine about 10 days to look normal again. It just concerns me that I have never had the problem before last year,...

Thanks Dru, good tips, I do tend to clench , I may be doing it when I lift. I will have to watch and see if I am doing it next workout.



Good point, thanks, I am terrible at breathing,...

I did a search on here and only came up with a couple of threads and not much info.

Over the last year I have popped blood vessels in my eyes 6 times now. I track everything in a notebook and the...

Thanks Fit, I guess I just don't have this cutting thing completely figured out yet. Once I hit a point, it just seems like I stop shedding fat and start shrinking all over without getting more...

There is so much win in this thread. Best thread on the site, so much inspiration in here. I don't post much, but I'm here lurking every day and have learned a lot from from all the information...

The hair thing su ks. Just had that conversation with my wife last week. I'm convinced that every hair that drops from my head lands on my back and re-roots there.

From the other side of the coin, 4 years ago I was the fat out of shape husband. I really did not have a clue how bad I had begun to look. It (the fat) just slowly added up over several years, and my...

uhg, you got me. I was most of the way through the thread before I realised it was 5 years old.

But, as long as I'm here. Yes, I do squats after 50.

I think you may have misunderstood this post. You don't have to "burn" an EXTRA 3500 calories to lose a pound, you just have to burn 3500 cal less than your maintenance to lose a pound.
