    Am I too Old for gains? Muscle and Strength?

    @congtycautruc Hi! Thx. General consensus is more protein. Not losing weight. Not gaining weight. I’ve been stable for 6+ months. At the lowest weight loss, which was around this time last year, I was down to 175lbs. I started doing less cardio and more strength and I’m sitting around 180-185...

    @fivemtnman Never been much of a drinker. I had a couple beers around my bday and new years before that.

    Am I too Old for gains? Muscle and Strength?

    @reformed1 Thx for this… Maybe I under sleep. I seem to fall asleep fast in the evening around 9-10PM. I usually start tossing and turning and ultimately wake up around 4-5 AM. I’m in the construction sector so early mornings are pretty normal. Physically I have changed for sure compared to...

    @lwbf95 Thx! I checked with my family dr and rheumatologist and they both said I’m ok to take Creatine and Protein. The rheumatologist did mention that he needed to know if was taking creatinine as tests would be skewed. Thx for your help. 🙏🏼

    Am I too Old for gains? Muscle and Strength?

    @xlaurax Wow! Thats amazing. I think I’m going to try that… weighing every single thing for a while. I’m analytical like that so it would be interesting to do. What kind of scale do you use?

    Am I too Old for gains? Muscle and Strength?

    @heartfullofchrist I have not increased my eating habits. I was super heavy and fat and I have been very nervous to eat more for fear of being overweight again.

    Am I too Old for gains? Muscle and Strength?

    @audiologic Thank you for this. I’m definitely not hitting that protein mark. 1 chicken breast a day plus whatever I get from other non-meat sources. Which is not a lot actually

    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

    @houstonreborn I think slow progression is a good path. Good technique is very important. Don’t pull with all arms. Antagonist muscles need just as much training. 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...

    How many pullups are enough in a workout

    @oar I’m going thru this problem right now. Not as a climber but in CrossFit and was working on increasing reps. I was doing weekly progressions on my pull days…. And was at 6-5-5-4–4-3-3. Now my left arm at the top of a pull up has so much pain I can hardly do 1. It’s been like that for 3...

    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...
