Hello, Any thoughts of getting back into bodybuilding after getting so sick I can sleep after 20 beers a day. Something between bodybuilding and power lifting with a 4 day split. And being 38 almost, hard to eat relying on one meal a day, snacking on sliced meat and three to four protein shakes...

Hello, I have been and avid lifter my whole life and recently hit the big 50. I noticed my chest soreness and over all soreness has intensified. Does anyone else around my age have this same issue? If so, what can I do to decrease this or does this stick with age. Thank you, Tom

Hi, I am new to the forum and glad to be apart of the community. I’m struggling with a current issue. I’ve been working (strength training) most of my life. However now at 45 I’ve racked up a number of injuries in the gym and which has caused me to slow down. I’ve always had a pretty big...

Hello everyone... I am 39yrs old and I have been going to the gym for the last 8 months now. But, last month, I couldn't go gym regularly and even my diet was not perfect either. Now, when I started doing the workout again seriously again, the issue I am facing is: 1 - I am feeling...

I'm an Asian, 35 yr old male. 177 cm tall (5 foot 10 inches). For the last 7-10 years I've had materially decreasing levels of energy, mood, drive and motivation. This has worsened over time. The strength and frequencies of my boners has decreased as well (no homo) To feel better, over the last...

Not sure if this is the best section but i'm 35 and there doesn't seem to be a beginner forum. I did my first weights session today in about 15 years after being pretty much sedentary all that time (I have started using a cross trainer for the past few weeks). I did bench press, shoulder press...

I've been diligent in my attempts to go to the gym, stick with a routine and have seen some progress. Mid Jan i weighed in at 133.4kg last week i was 126.3kg, didnt see any movement for the first month. Ive also had an ankle injury (torn ligament) and physio advised me not to work lower body so...

Mv_dF2Y5TBk Here is a short, simple, common sense but essential video for most beginners to watch, however rest, recovery and nutrition applies to all, even seasoned lifters. Like the good doctor says at the 33 second mark, Muscle doesn't grow while you are exercising, they actually grow...

I'm 36 and recently started going back to the gym every day after not going for the last 15 years, trying to get back in shape and to help my mental health, however old injures (torn rotator cuff on each shoulder and torn ligaments in my right wrist) feel like they're starting come back. I'm not...

I’m only posting this to keep the forum going and informing others what I’m doing. I don’t care what you do. The forum is dying, we’ve had two deaths this week, one was a great bodybuilding/athlete and no one made an RIP thread. Yet we get RIP threads of every fuking tv celeb. The other was...

Does anyone know any reliable, safe sites to get gear?

This is not something that just started happening. It's just that after nearly twenty years of being on these boards, I 'm just thinking to ask about it. So for some reason my chest has always been the muscle group that gets the most sore. I can do low or high volume, light or heavy routines....

If you saw my log press vid, that was yesterday. I also did squats and neck after the log. Today I had some srs DOMS. I did an arm workout almost 2 hours ago, biceps triceps and indirectly hit parts of pecs and shoulders. 3-working sets for a total of 129 reps HOLY ****. My arms fuking...

Hey, no pics for you, but I wanted to see if this seems like normal to people who have been training longer. I'm in my late 20s, it's up to you but I think I'm 'ok' looking and healthy, never trained extensively before. I have the lean physique, not trying to trim down. I started going to a new...

Hey I'm 35 years old and I use to be really fit, but I got into marine engineering and I let me body go a bit in order to get to a cush high paying job. Now that I've accomplished this task I want to get back into training. I work on rotation 75 days on 75 days off. On the boat I only have...

2022 was an ego adjustment for me, as I needed to just start over and own all my weights. I only squatted 200 or over about a 1/2 dozen times in 2022 and I’ve only squatted 200 in one session so far in 2023. I never even dead lifted 405 once in 2022 or in 2023, which were routine singles for...
