Forum: Over 35 Workout Journals

I figured I would start a journal since I kicked off a fresh new 12 week lifting cycle yesterday. Not really sure what my goals are, just maintaining current mass and getting stronger. Maybe drop some BF. Keep in mind, I am also a home gym guy with dumbbells that only go up to 60 pounds (in case...

I'm almost 54. After years of attempts to be cool or look good or fit in with the crowd I found some transformation videos on youtube and got hooked. Now starting to get about transformation more methodically. In my youth I did some rowing. I quite liked it. The trainer dumped me after a...

Hey all - new to this forum, but I've been around the bodybuilding/powerlifting forums for many years. The main one I post at seems to be closing down so I'll be posting my lastest workouts here for my reference and historical purposes. Age: 38 Height: 6'2" Weight: ~250lbs BF: There's...

After 13 months, I’m moving away from the fierce 5 program and starting Candito’s linear program (strength / hypertrophy) as a transition to a true intermediate routine (which will probably, but not definitely, be the Candito 6-week). I figured that this is as good a time as any to start a new log,...

I used to post on here, but life got in the way and training and posting fell by the wayside. Started a business, had my first baby, and had to get a host of endocrine issues all sorted within the same year. Not to mention 2 concussions last year in a 3 months span from a couple accidents, so...

grouchyjarhead here. Long story short, thought I reset my password, sure didn't, and can't recover my account as it's on an old email address. Whatever. Here's my new one. I'll try to catch up as I can to those who I used to follow/help out. Over the weekend, I completed the GORUCK Tough and...

Well, Kaz says I should start my own workout journal thread. I tried to object since my lifts aren’t that heavy, but when Kaz says to do something, resistance is futile. I'm going to reserve a couple of posts at the beginning, since it will take a while to introduce myself, and then start...

recently had gastric sleeve surgery. In feb of this year i was almost 400lbs. surgery was august 12th, was 367 that day. it's been 6 weeks since surgery and I'm down to 325. last week i did a few small burnout sessions, 15-20 mins in the gym just to test the waters. this week i've started back...

My record keeping sucks and wanted to have an easy access place to keep track of my deadlift log. So basically just updating this once a week. 3/2/1 is a modified Wendler 5/3/1 that Mike Robertson came up with. So instead of week 1 being 65% x 5, 75% x 5 and 85% x 5, it would be 65% x 3, 75%x3 and...

Lets see how long I keep this going. This is simple no nonsense strength training but its not something you'll see very often, no belts, no wraps/straps. I've been training one day a week for the last 1.5 years. Saturday 3/30/19 I've been starting with dead lifts for over 6 months, time...

Hello. Back in August (for anyone who didn't see my thread in the main forum) I had hernia surgery. The tear in the left abdominal wall was pretty big, and there were actually two additional hernias. I looked up hernias after my surgery when I found out I had so much going on in the muscle...

So I decided to start a journal here to track my strength training progress and some other statistics. I keep a detailed workbook offline, but thought it a decent idea to put something here in case I need some feedback or just for reference (if only for myself). I plan to keep track of the...

Well I'm finally taking the plunge and starting an online workout journal here. I originally posted this in the "regular" journal area but realized I really should put it here in the Over 35 area, so I deleted that one and am creating a new journal here. I am 40 years old 6'1" tall and 228 lbs. I...
