@pdbcm I'd suggest doing a DEXA scan. This will allow you to track progress much more effectively than using the scale. Also, it's just been a month. I find that when I shift to a new style of training, I often gain/maintain weight for some time before it starts to drop. Lastly, I'm not a...

@srutz Same. I actually had this for a while, and then I lost it. That's the frustrating part: you can to a certain level and assume you'll build from there only to try later and not even be where you once were.

@mydonspace I'm 50 and qualified for the quarterfinals. I am very athletic and especially good at calisthenics, conditioning, and pure strength. I can't get double unders consistently. I got up to 13 unbroken in 24.2, but did mostly double unders as single reps. I am have regressed since...

@asdfbill75 You’re right that this is tough. Given your conditioning is already very good, given your mile time, if you are serious about reaching higher standards you should prioritize strength, like 531 or 5x5 or Tactical Barbell Operator. Do heavy barbell work 3x a week prioritizing...

@asdfbill75 I’m 50 and well ahead of you on the lifts and similar on the running. I made the QFs this year, but complete in the 50-54 age group. I didn’t come close to making the semis. You’re no where close to advancing out of the open at your age. But, you could get there. You need to...
