    I’m approaching 50, vegetarian, and am about 60 pounds overweight. I want to start a full body transformation what should I do?

    @woodgood And, let's be honest, no actor hired by a studio to get jacked for a part is getting there without PEDs, no matter what they say about it in public. So, don't use them as a measuring stick unless you want to get on the sauce yourself, which, no judgement, if that's what you want. Just...

    I’m approaching 50, vegetarian, and am about 60 pounds overweight. I want to start a full body transformation what should I do?

    @woodgood Don't skip leg day! People are always saying/commenting about women doing it to develop their backsides, but it's probably more important for men bcz it increases testosterone production, which is going to help you drop weight and build muscle faster. But with ~60 extra lbs, I'd opt...

    advice appreciated

    @dezmond You are doing 5-7 sets of 35 reps each set? Yes, you are wasting your time bcz it sounds like 30 lb kb is WAY too easy for you now. To make more gains, you need to find a way to increase the resistance or add different movements to target other muscles that you haven't yet trained. If...

    Getting back to the gym after 20 years..

    @racheldovah Like others said, go lower and slower for the first month or two or three. Muscle grows super fast compared to joint cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and bone density. IMHO, that's what leads to injuries. Maybe get a trainer for a month, and look and ask around for a good one who...

    Menopause

    @cl4r3 Estradiol protects SO much more of a woman's body and brain than it puts at risk for ANY type of cancer. Period. It is also essential to get on it as soon as you begin experiencing perimenopause symptoms because the longer you wait, the less effective it is. In fact, they won't put you on...

    Help selecting a weights program

    @selyan Other commentators have some great suggestions, but I would add that you might want to get your dad for Xmas some sessions with a personal trainer or Physical Therapist who specializes in working with older adults. A lot has to do with diet and hormones too. If he wants to get fitter and...

    Where I was at 58, where I am now at 62, it's been around 5 years (or close enough)

    @ricksterm Not only do you look and sound 1000x more heathy and well, you also look like you lost 20 years of aging!

    First day in 9 years

    @jnpaapaamoakoheneameyaw Hey, welcome back! Ya know, baby steps are still steps! My guess? Your muscle memory and cardio will snap back in a matter of weeks, not months, if you keep at it. I’m a huge fan of creatine now, based on this And this: Good luck!

    Menopause

    @cl4r3 58(f) here. Get thee to a progressive female clinical pharmacist, gyn, or endocrinologist who follows current trends and latest research to check your estradiol/progesterone/testosterone balance, and your T3 and T4 (both thyroid) levels. Women’s metabolism changes drastically in response...

    Need advice with lifting during weight loss

    @ricksterm First off, let me say that what you have accomplished is something 90% of normal weight people could never do. My sister lost over 100# about 5 years back, and the sheer will and determination it took her every day was mind-blowing. Except for pregnancies, I’ve been within 10-15 lbs...

    Where to start? Any advice please?

    @cutin I just posted this on another comment here: Upped my protein substantially on the daily. In fact, it’s really the main thing I’ve done diet-wise in my 50s that’s been hugely successful in terms of weight and muscle mass. I’ve always been a healthy eater and very aware of my caloric needs...

    What should I change now?

    @glenninindy LOL, I just bought a medium resist band at Dick's to add to my doorway pullup bar at home to practice more. (I know, it was overpriced, but I didn't want to wait for shipping and 1K choices) And finally able to add back lat pulldowns on a cable machine at gym...on my way!

    Menopause

    @paramedic848 LMAO! Well, you didn't fall far from that sub---from my observations, cats are often just as whiney and self-absorbed! But they are usually much cuter about it.

    Is my heart rate too high?

    @griswold To my knowledge to date, no real doctors actually post on Reddit. If you are super-concerned, check with an irl MD, but if you run like that and can hold a convo, breathe normally after a few minutes of rest, feel fine, endorphins kicking in, and you want to improve, keep on doing what...
