    4 years of hard work

    @silsophi Get a better wardrobe and hit those upper traps. Only thing I can see causing you to look “untrained” in street clothes.

    Tired of getting injured

    @wally1648 Sounds good and none of it was meant as an attack or criticism. FWIW, agree with commenters that bracing is the most likely thing worth exploring. Hope you’ll stay mindful that, as you’ve aged, squats just might not be optimal with your individual spine regardless of how good they...

    Tired of getting injured

    @cornflakes60 Bulgarian Split Squats. It was a joke but, apparently, from the downvotes there are a few folks over-sensitive to questioning the orthodoxy of BB bench, deadlifts and squats. The sensible take (for an over 30 fitness sub) is if you keep getting injured doing one of the holy 3...

    Tired of getting injured

    @wally1648 I can’t believe what some people will put their bodies through to avoid BSS.

    How could I possibly eat less and exercise a sh*t ton more, and actually gain weight??

    @lucymarie I question the 1,500 calories based on her self reported gender, weight and exercising daily for 90 minutes. We don’t know her height but even if she’s only 5’ and only doing the exercise routine she described 4-5 days a week that 1,500 daily calories would put her in, roughly, a...

    When did the machine start breaking down and how did you power through?

    @grace_mercy Late 30s when I realized it all had come much easier before. Keep in mind that around 50 we all start getting the gift of Sarcopenia and then, if you aren’t proactive, you will begin to feel it even more. Mid 50s now. Yes, you will have to dig deeper. Yes, you’ll have to be smarter...

    Lifting around severe shoulder weakness

    @timothyburt I’d suggest focusing on weight loss to start. Shedding 30 pounds, even at your size, will make a noticeable difference in your mood, energy and reduce joint inflammation. It’s just too niche to suggest how you work around your condition for most of us. I’d talk to a PT and also try...

    How could I possibly eat less and exercise a sh*t ton more, and actually gain weight??

    @youngwolf You aren’t the exception to the Laws of Thermodynamics. That said, as someone already pointed out, your daily weight fluctuates a great deal. Eat more salty foods or just began creatine? Your body is going to add water weight. IMO, the best way to track your progress and not drive...

    Where are my elk hunters?

    @eloise Not an elk hunter but climb CO 14ers for fun. Have summited 25 unique peaks over the past 19 months. If you are trying to get in shape for this coming season then know this: with that leg press it’s very unlikely it’s leg strength that will hold you back. It’s having some decent cardio...
