I had similar issues op and I increased good fats & vitamin D. Also when back to a slight calorie surplus from a deficit...if you are cutting increase your cals for awhile and make sure you...

Same except I started at 44 and my right shoulder has some impingement. Amazing what taking care of yourself will provide.

Repped.

Start by eliminating as much sugar & processed foods as possible. Minimize food that comes in a box or bag. High (quality) fat, low carb and moderate proteins.

Like mentioned above, read through...

This right here.

6 years ago I was 20lbs heavier and ate about anything including bad carbs/sugar and rarely ate eggs. Doc took lipids and told me chit has to change. Plus he said I had...

You can't make a bad decision here. Go Blue!!

Omlettes are the best. I saute kale, onion & red pepper in avocado oil. Add 3 eggs and some chia seeds. Put cracked pepper cheese and medium slasa inside.

Exactly this.

McCaffery is next man up and he is gonna be dazzling. Jimmy has his QB situation right where he wants it at this point.

I'm 50 and just started it 2 months ago. Just mix it in warm water and you'll be fine. I've had no issues...I take approx 5g a day.

Like above mentioned, you're over thinking it.

I would definitely change programs. Do a full body, upper/lower split or something that gives you more frequency and spreads the volumn throughout the week.

Just looking at that Monday...

Try to hang less on your fingers/finger tips from the bar. In other words, have the bar more centered in your palm and it will put less pressure on your elbows doing pulls/chins.

Interested in others thoughts on this as well. I just started using creatine a week ago in an effort to recover better but it's too early...I've read a lot about it and most has been positive. Would...

My gut is probably as big as yours. The difference is that I lift so it doesn't look as bad. Listen to the other guys in here, just lift and dial in your diet...you look fine.

Just to add another great option...get a hex (or trap) bar for deadlifts. I have a history of low back problems and have done trap bar DL's for the past 1 1/2 years and I have very little back...

Op, I may be able to relate a little. I am almost 50... 25 years ago I had a bad accident which left me with 3 herniated discs (2 in lower back, 1 in neck). Up until a few years ago, I had pain all...

Take a week or two and just do legs. I have a flaky shoulder and a few months ago I didn't do anything except legs (squats, lunges, etc) and some shoulder rehab exercises for a week or so and it...

Knock out the veggie oil...use alvacado oil for cooking and olive oil otherwise...I ate almost exactly like you and my LDL was elevated except instead of veggie oil, I had used coconut oil to cook...

It's not bad being both op. A little discipline does wonders.

On top of what was already said, focus your efforts on posterior chain, core, upper back and rear delts...all should assist in keeping your head high and shoulders back.

Op, I only started getting back at it when I was 44 after about a 12 year "layoff". I'm almost 50 and am stronger and look better than when I was 30 so let's not blame age here.

Dial in your diet....
