Forum: Over Age 35

No date but rumour is gyms in UK reopen July if all is well. The uk's trade association for gyms ukactive has guidance which is fairly vague https://www.ukactive.com/covid-19 but does have specific things such as workout towels banned, 3m squared per person and obvious things about cleaning....

Last set for 185lbs x 6. The barbell bench press gets a back rap today in the fitness world, in fact most workout advice in today's world is horrible. You need to really shift through the sands to find some sound advice. Or to make it easier just only read about old school bodybuilding. I’m...

I am 47, used to be young dumb and full of cum. Now I’m beat up and fat. I think I am at a point where I can go one of two ways. I used to be able to grab myself by the bootstraps but I have very slowly faded away. I need a belief and a vision. I used to love to lift, not so much cardio...

Hey all - What are your thoughts regarding going to failure? (failure defined as not being able to do another rep with proper form). Of course there's lots opinions on the web (Dr. Mike Israetel says no need to because it will negatively impact your next workout so leaving 2 reps in the tank is...

Copy and paste from my workout journal Legs today and getting frustrated. Front Squats 135x8 145x5 145x6 but I tweaked my right hip again somehow. Squats setup for 185 but the hip started to hurt right away. Did 5 reps with poor rom. Switched after a rest to some bench squats with 135 for...

51 years old just getting started any advices

Let me get to the point! I hurt, all over, all the time... well I think there might be one toe that does not hurt. I get up in the morn and can hardly move (this is without working out) and it does not go away. I heard someone once say it feels like the beginning stages of rigamortis. And it lasts...

I've been lifting for about 25 years now. I did a couple of natural bodybuilding competitions several years ago and got my pro card. My wife and I decided to start a family at the ripe old age of 40 :) I'm now a stay-at-home dad, which is a tremendous blessing and challenge. My wife and I each...

I mean, he advocated later in his life to do a single workout to failure every like 5-10 days, but I tried it a little myself some years and I never grew anything, almost nothing in strength ether, but now later I feel I could probably do a single workout and then rest some days before doing the...

How can a 60 y/o woman with heart failure on dialysis loose 100 to 200 pounds to qualify for transplant??? I just saw the video of Jesse Shand. I have seen so many men loose weight so many times but as a women, I even had the stomach surgery but gained it all back. My hubby bought me a $3,000...

'Age is just a number' is a statement of FACT. Several acts on agt, bgt and other platforms, among others have proven that. If you have a workout or bodybuilding goal, I don't care if you are 70, you have to believe that it is not impossible! This mindset is needed, to call to action, all the...

Male 51 years old. 6’ 200 lbs. So I go snowboarding and I get fatigued in no time. Most of the time it’s not the actual snowboarding that tires me but for example, on a snowboard if you don’t have enough speed and you go into a flat area you end up having to take your foot out of one binding and...
