    Turning 53 next month!!

    @laralynn I agree. 45 till now has been my best 7 years. I have been working out for one goal or another, I used to be a powerlifter, before a lifting injury, and now I am trying to be more fit. Anyway my point is, it is so much easier at 51, 52 in a month, to meet my diet goals and make my...

    Water consumption

    @womenprofession Technically the rule of thumb is half your body weight in pounds in ounces of water a day. Going over that by about 15 or 20% will help you burn more calories. But here's where it gets tricky. If you're like me and eat very little sodium, too much water is actually unhealthy...

    Gains possible over 50?

    @janeevans89 I agree. And that's me. At this point in my life. I enjoyed the competitive powerlifting part but when I rendered my right arm completely useless, it was a wake-up call that I didn't need to be able to pick up the ass end of a car anymore. I actually like being trim and cut and...

After covid I decided to get lean and cut, kept working out, lowered the weights about 25% and doubled my reps, got my diet in line, and now I'm about 205 to 210 lb and look and feel like the best...

    Going to whine a little…

Has made a difference for me

    Do I need to switch my routine up?

    @kimmyk401 All truths above. And I'm the same. At 51 I have a better body than most people half my age.

    Help selecting a weights program

    @atlantadad I agree. I stubbornly started out with bands when I was rehabbing my tricep repair and now it's a regular part my warm up.

    Menopause

    @cl4r3 Maybe, but you have to realize your body has also learned that routine. And without knowing your blood work, the decrease in your hormone levels have probably also put your body into panic survival mode. Like was always effective when I was training, I literally told them to go out and...

    Menopause

    @cl4r3 My information may seem weird but having trained many menopausal women years ago, and dating many menopausal women now, before you do anything drastic and start getting depressed, like the commenter I just read said get your blood work done. Normal tests like thyroid hormones such as...
