Welcome and thanks for following along if you chose to do so. I think most who frequent the journals know me so I'll just jump to the now and future and forget the past; Goals -Compete in April 2018 in NYS with the crew at 198. Push/pull only (more on that below) -Lift targets 500lb double...

I am back to journal here to keep track of my workouts. I have started a new program and I need a place to really keep up with my numbers. Here is the workout for anyone interested. https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-best-damn-workout-plan-for-natural-lifters It is basically a...

Howdy Folks, I've been on this forum for a few months now over in the Power Lifting Forum and finally realized today, after some looking around, that I am in fact, "old". That is why I am relocating my journal over to this area. To be honest, powerlifting/strongman was probably not the best...

So here I sit. Literally just turned 50 and contemplating trying to get stage ready for a physique competition. Sounds like lunacy especially now I'm actually writing down the words. I'm in reasonable ok shape for an average guy. I know I'm nowhere near big enough just for starters. Don't even...

Hi OV35ers, I turned 35 yesterday so I'm going to run a log over here too as I can now be in your epic secret club that is OV35. I have a log in the female journal section and post a lot over there. I go by Ham, Hammie, or my personal favorite Hammy Hammy Hobbes. :p I'm a female powerlifter...

Hello all, I am new to this forum and will be throwing my past year's collection of journal entries onto here for my own reference & historical purposes. Age: 35 (36 in 3 weeks) Height/weight: 5'10", 210bs. bf%: good enough to see abs & serratus, quad heads, and separation everywhere, but...

My first journal entry, will try to keep it current I am in week 2 of my first attempt at 531 Catch-up Body weight 190 Thurdsay Dec 1

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...

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...

This will be a log for documenting my way back to 1derland. I started at 320lbs back in 2014 and lost 150lbs within 15 months. I then moved up to about 200lbs and stayed there for a couple years. Throughout 2017 and 2018 I slipped a bit ... well, I slipped quite a bit :D ... and now I...

Used to lift seriously for years, stopped for about 5 years just due to life. Back at it since Oct 2014. Goals are just to get as big and as strong as I can for right now, I also enjoy rucking too so I might try one of them there GORUCKs here sometime in the future. I'm 5'8" and pushing around 200#...

An avid body builder into my mid 30s, I tore my shoulder, broke my leg, lost my hair & gained a beer gut. Now 45, 6'2" & 208lb, I'm going to lose 35lb of fat then gain 25lb of muscle... again!

Hi guys / girls. My names Adam. 38 years old, 6ft 2in, 203 pounds & according to online bf calculators 19.5%. I have been working out for around 20 years on & off & have been in decent shape on occasions, but never less than approx 13ish bf%. Last year I was diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome...

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...

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...

On Tuesday I'm getting a bone spur cut out of my knee which will hopefully help with the nagging knee pain I've been having for years and the really bad PTF I've had manifest in the last couple of months. I'll post what I can do as a way of trying to stay motivated during yet another recovery...

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...

Hello O35ers, I joined this bodybuilding forum a while back and have reached a stage where I need to start holding myself to a higher level of accountability. This thread will be updated 1x a week and I should have, at least, 4 lifting sessions and (eventually) some cardio, once I move and have...
