    Gains possible over 50?

    @janeevans89 I'm 57m and I lift 4 days a week.

I'm making good gains. I started...

    Over 50 Trying for the perfect weekly schedule. All runners and lifters Give me your best

    @jordqwa If you want to build muscle the best, do your cardio on non-lifting days, or at least after lifting by a few hours.

    Need advice with lifting during weight loss

    @ricksterm Outstanding work! If you hit a plateau there is nothing wrong with sitting at maintenance for a while. Find a lifting program that fits and stick with it. I'm definitely not a nutrition/diet expert, but from what I've seen this is a natural part of the process. If it were me I would...

    51m never been active. With no activity during covid I’m needing guidance. Need to try and turn it around

    @steffi If you can, just start walking. That sounds simplistic, but you start by starting.
