    Am I too Old for gains? Muscle and Strength?

    @audiologic 4 days at home, I have a rack, barbell, weights, plates, dumbbells, bands, pull up bar, cardio equipment… I do 1 day at the gym to improve form. As well one of my current goals is to learn muscle ups and my trainer has me doing drills to achieve that goal. Banded is where I’m at so...

    Am I too Old for gains? Muscle and Strength?

    @emyrs Thx for your input. I’m definitely going to increase protein. Seems like the general consensus here. I’m way under eating. I’m new to this fitness world and don’t know all the right ways to build my body and strength. I came off a couch in mid April 2022 at 240 lbs and have been working...

    How many pullups are enough in a workout

I’m pretty sure I’m hurt because of poor technique. I’m not an expert but I’m sure if you put up a video of your pull ups you would...

    Am I too Old for gains? Muscle and Strength?

    @beaud20 Thx for reading… and appreciate your time. Prior to August, I was “training” on my own for about 8-9 months. I have a certified trainer now that has created workouts for me. She’s great and one for the fittest people I’ve seen in person. I see her once a week on Fridays. Then the rest...

    Am I too Old for gains? Muscle and Strength?

    I'm 47, 5'10 tall, I weight 180 pounds and have a 20% fat percentage. I have been working out like 5-6 days a week for 1.5 years. I spend 70 mins on strength training 5 days a week and 20 mins cardio 6 days a week. For the amount of effort I put into my workouts I feel like my strength gains...
