I did the Body Beast program. Before that I had completed P90X, Les Mills Pump, Les Mills Combat, and RevAbs. I drink Shakeology once a day. And I am a Beachbody coach and have been for well over a...

Had surgery a couple of weeks ago for a ruptured Achilles, done while jumping rope. In my estimation, given my age of 54, I think the injury happened because I wasn't doing enough warm up or...

Had surgery a couple of weeks ago for a ruptured Achilles, done while jumping rope. I won't be doing any sort of exercises that involves the legs for months. That being said, this past week I was...

I never gave this much thought. My Wednesday set was 6x135, 5x215, 5x245, 5x285, 2x325 (working up to 5 - just increased each by 10lbs since I could do 315x5 last time). I generally rest only 2-3...

Just work with a tested program, watch your nutrition, and your body will tell you what you can accomplish. When I first started heavy lifting I thought too much about "what if" and "what is my max"....

Never knew what RPE was. I would say 135/1, 205/2, 245/4, 275/7, 315/9, last 135/2

If I understand RPE correctly, for instance the 315/9 means I may have been able to pull one more, and the 275/7...

I resurrected a deadlift progression thread in another section, but I have a more general question. If my current stats matter, I'm 54 years old, 167 lbs, 5'10.5".

My question is (and probably a...

I finally properly used the search function and found the answer to my question before I started a new thread (at least a pretty close answer). I was wondering if my current rep/set scheme is OK?...

Well, at least someone earlier pointed it out in a more constructive way. I actually used the advice and on Friday just walked up to the bar and pulled.

So sorry I wasted a couple of minutes of...

At the end of chest/tris on Friday, deadlift was calling. I went and did 10 reps at 135 and decided to attempt one pull to beat my 315. Pulled one @ 325. And my daughter was with me and said my form...

Regarding the gloves, I have been told that several times. What is the importance of calluses? (and yes, I note the gloves make my hands feel "better").

That wait was a psych job on my part. With...

The deadlift is my favorite exercise. It feels good head-to-toe when done with a set. Only a few months into lifting, I had set a goal for myself - a 3-plate deadlift. I have no idea why 315lbs was...

Being 53 and new at heavy lifting, certain injuries are cropping up which I am dealing with medically/professionally.

I am wondering what might be a better approach, regardless of which way will...

2007 Chrysler 300C - all wheel drive Hemi. First "muscle" car I've ever owned, although it's more of a luxury/muscle crossover. All I know is I punch het and she goes. 170,000 miles and counting.

I've had a nagging shoulder "issue" for a long time, but it has been more pronounced since I began lifting weights these past few months. In the past, my workouts were more cardio based with lighter...

It's my fault I'm injured, al because of a loss of concentration and bad form on a deadlift. I'm over totally bashing myself for it....well, almost.

I gave it a week taking ibuprofen and resting,...

Hurt the back with bad form on a deadlift. I want to give it a week and see if it goes away. That means no deadlifts or clean & presses for one.

In the meantime, any issue if I do chest/arm/leg...

Sex

Insanity, P90X - light weight with a focus on cardio/losing weight. The only Beachbody program that even touches body building is Body Beast which would keep the most muscle on.

As stated above,...

Right now, I feel pretty broken.

Back (thanks to my dumbass deadlift form screw up), left wrist giving me grip issues, left index finger has a stiff joint (don't know why), elbow tendonitis...
