    48M kind of disappointed in 2-years' gym progress. Maybe I need some help

    @nowhereman I've found it pretty easy to maintain. I started off just thinking 'whatever I'd normally eat of this - just eat 15-20% less.' 'Leave some for the leftover gods' is what my wife called it. Do that with everything (meals, snacks, etc.) Pretty soon you realize you're full sooner than...

    48M kind of disappointed in 2-years' gym progress. Maybe I need some help

    Suggestions to replace squats

    @tim10001 I don't do them either. Issues with an ankle injury that never fully healed and two knee surgeries all on the same side - I just don't want to risk going through all that again. Leg presses, hack squats, hip thrusts, etc. Basically anything with more controlled motion - and bending...

    What does your warm up look like?

    @mikedelmar Agree completely on listening to your body. I do whole body workouts 3x week. Some days I'll push certain parts more than others. But if I'm not feeling it (or if I'm inching too close to 'failure' for my liking) I back off for sure. I pushed too hard about 5 years ago and...
