Hey all, It's been a while since posting. The reason for this post is to maybe get any wisdom from people in my situation. My situation I'm sure isn't that uncommon, in that I've lifting weights for years and years and have very little to show for it. I've read SO many threads and feel like I've...

Hello guys, I started working out last year (April 2022) after about 10 to 12 year period of not going to the gym. It seemed I was progressing pretty ok, but back in November, while using the incline lever row machine I hear like a pop and squishy sound. I completed the workout that day, but it...

Just a little thread to keep track of my training progress. Feel free to give me pointers. Im still learning 😂

Haven't really trained properly for years, today was my first day back in God knows how long. I've started a full body routine I found on the web, thought I'd go relatively light with my lifts but even then I found some exercises relatively difficult. I found the dumbell bench press quite...

So I just turned 40 and I just started trt (200 mg a week) for about a month now. So far I think it’s increased my sexual drive a little and maybe a little more energy. My only real concern is about what affects it will have on my hair. I’m 40 and still have a pretty decent full set of hair, I...

Due to age, arthritis and an inventory of injuries I thought I would never do another dead lift but then I stumbled upon a hex bar a bit back and, oh wow, I’m doing dead lifts! The hex bar offers several advantages over an Olympic bar that make the impossible possible again. 1 – The bar wraps...

Hi everyone, Like the subject line read I'm 37 y/o and want to get back into lifting. Starting to feel old and I want to look better but don't really know where to start. Read through the workouts but there's a lot of info so felt a little overwhelmed. I'm 5'11", 165 lbs. I intermittent fast...

It's been a while since I've been back to the forums, but I'm going to be doing a program of some sort over the next 6 months and try to get back to 10% bodyfat. I haven't tried this since I was in my late 20's, but I'm 35 now, and saw this forum. Why specific forum for over 35 year olds? Isn't it...
