Forum: Over Age 35

Hello, I am looking at getting a kidney transplant in 2023 (G-d willing). I have been training all my life - although I am a typical hardgainer and relatively thin. Has anyone ever experienced this situation and what were the training guidelines. (I am 55.) I have been on dialysis for...

Hi all- What do you guy/girls use for tracking workouts? Trying to avoid spreadsheet or notebook. Thanks

Fellas, if you are in a position where you work some pencil neck office executive job and have family demands that are preventing you from hitting the gym daily, believe me when these wackos on the board say you should wake up at 4am you know those fuking azz hats are divorced for Christ sakes. ...

Been a while since I’ve been on here last, thought I would update a bit. It’ll be 2 years this September since I joined the local Planet Fitness and have tried to be as consistent as possible, though have had times where illness and/or lack of funds have kept me from going. That said, I am now down...

Just before sleep, I ate a bowl of cereal and an apple though. Am I still diabetes-fukked?

Azz, then why aren’t I on here with frustration posts and asking for help? Think about that! I continue to make gainz, gainz, gainz. Only one year of building and I’m past a beginner level physique, hell I keep up with Bando in the press for reps, in only two years of even training the...

Fellas, Mighty Mouse here with some unconventional dead lifting discoveries. This is stuff I’m experimenting with to shock the muscles and keep the body stimulated, this fellas is what triggers growth. I’m not saying you should do it, I’m just reporting what I’m doing. For bodybuilding...

Fellas, Mighty Mouse here to say, I’ve NEVER woken up and noticed that any growth happens during sleep, in fact if anything I’m not as big after sleeping, and I say that as “if anything”. Here’s how it generally works and this is consistent whether I get 8 hours of sleep or only 5 and am...

Granted there were a lot of threads started by one poster in particular that contained a massive amount of crap but I didn't think there were so many. My guess is the OV35 medical staff thought it was time to address the elephant in the room and now all that is left in the main section (1.5...

I'm looking for some people with experience in the Harrisburg Pennsylvania area. I currently am a member of PA Fitness in Hummelstown/Hershey area. So it would be nice if I could find somebody or even a couple people in that gym that could show me what I should be doing. Or what I'm doing wrong. I...

I’m not totally sure where to post this but I’m looking for any suggestions. Gonna bare my soul a bit here. I’m frustrated in my fitness goals, feel like giving up, but I keep trying. A little about me. Im a 6 foot, 265 pound 42 male. Father of 3 boys. Happily married, but not without its...

I’m a 35f about 65” and 200#. I need to get back in shape and get healthy. I used to drink this awesome tasting protein powder by Biorhythm Whole Gains. The mango flavor tasted like kool aid. I need help finding something satiating. I can’t have chocolate flavored powders or anything with caffeine....

Hey all, I’ve been debating joining a forum and asking for help for a while now. I have done a ton of research on this topic but wanted to hear from some of you who might be in my situation. I am almost 43 and have been training naturally since I was 14. I am 6ft tall and my weight ranged from...

The title explains it all - I am a heavy smoker. Keep on quitting and starting. I still don't accept I am a smoker for life. I really want to quit, but it's so damn hard. Plus when I quit I feel I will get fat. Damn it! Any stories here? Thanks!

Long story short, over 3 months starting end of last year I put on about 7kg or so in 3 months eating junk. Although, it looked like just about all that extra weight went to the hips and stomach - gross. Stopped eating all that junk and hit the gym 4 days a week and now I've lost all that 7kg....

How realistic is it to expect to keep breaking PRs that you posted when you were in 20s?

Some think I'm a joke, but do this and report back, if you got guts. This hits areas different than a dumbell. First time doing this and just getting feel. When I was finished I loaded up the weight and cleaned with two arms, pressed with one arm. And look at that peak coming in on those...

Fellas, here’s how I just out trained bad nutrition- Squats- 97pounds x 112 reps in one set. Legs were pumped, lungs were pumped, mid section was hard as rock! Don’t forget Mr. Chuckles I posted a vid of a heavier 60 rep squat over the weekend. I then did zercher full squats with 135...

Hey, it's Mighty Mouse checking in with a new full ROM Floor Press I discovered! How does one do a full ROM Floor press you ask? Well check it out, it's hard to see, but the bar is touching my chest and my elbows just about touching the floor, this is also kinda a decline floor press- ...
