Getting ready for meal three for the day. How do you deal with the muchies in the evening?

I eat my greens in the evening.

Age is just a number. I do not let it hold me back. "shut up and lift" is my motto!!!!

Another over 40 born again lifter here. Into the latter stages of cycle 2 in All Pro's Simple Beginner Routine and loving it! Sometimes recovery is a little off but overall I'm making good solid progress. Great to meet you all!

Never take one day for granted. Hitting the gym is great, but you must keep balance in your life. What good is having a great body and then not having anyone to spend time with? Don't let the tail wag the dog!!!!

[drtbear67]

One step, one mile, one day at a time. We got this!!

[Coolconan]

Yup! I'm game! I took the last week off! Hitting the weight pile this upcoming week!

[tst313]

Ah new inspiration. Getting into your 40's sucks. Things hurt more, last longer, and takes more effort. But, after watching the gains of the last few years go away, and knowing how hard it is to get them back, gives me the motivation at 43 to get off my ass and fix it.

[Fiale]

43 this year, thought I'd take a go at getting this lard-ass body into shape, it deserves it after the neglect it's had. If Iv'e got another 25-40 years left to go, might as well do it as fit and healthily as I can and not lugging around a spare tyre munching on burgers.

[Dare81]

I began training in October last year aged 44!! But i have gained weight AND muscle (12lbs) but still carry fat around the middle.

It's tough work when you have skinny limbs like me!

I feel ya pain..... I just simply can not resist creamy peanut butter!

[TJ468]

44 was a good start and turning 45 in 2 weeks, motivated to make 45 my turning point so I can look back and say that's when it really changed!!

[diddlysquat]

44 is an awesome age to begin! I'm more focused in my freezing cold, bare bones (barbell, squat rack, bench, dumbbells) gym at home than I ever was in my younger days when I occasionally went to the local commercial gym and played with Smith Machines and leg presses for hours on end!! My form in all lifts is also better than ever. I plan to get into the best shape of my life over the next 24 months. Been doing All Pro's beginners routine and just smoked cycle 2 - and even had energy left at the end to try out a more high-bar olympic style squat or three. I liked it way more than I thought I would! Just need to save up for those damned Adidias PP2s!

[Dare81]

Not many guys in my gym over 40 do any squats at all. I always include them in my routine, twice a week if possible. They certainly work.

Dark chocolate is mine.

Turning 44 was more like, Where the hell did that gut come from? and buying a swim shirt to cover up in the summer.(Not this summer). Realizing you can't eat everything you want anymore without adding to the core. Not like the 20 and 30's when it just burned off. Didn't realize how much eating right plays into it. Down 8 pound since January. That's the difference this time around...eating right. We age we get better!!

[bejammin99]

Great Forum. Glad to see there are a lot more "young men" like us still wanting to Live.

[blkbelt42]

Dark chocolate is mine.

same here, don't even like milk chocolate any longer.

[drtbear67]

Now we have this thing going in the right directions. I will be 46 this summer and it is my goal to get the BF down. We are not getting older, we are just getting better!!! Yeah is sucks to hurt but we have made it this far!!
