    48M kind of disappointed in 2-years' gym progress. Maybe I need some help

    @nowhereman Ditch refined carbs and sugar- I had the same type of build/stored fat all in my belly after a decade of focusing on work and neglecting diet and exercise. Went to unprocessed diet with zero grain products- I did keto at first but reintroduced sweet potato and squash for carbs as...

    Anyone here bulking in their late 30's/40's? How did it go?

    @needheaven My weight wouldn't increase when I was running 35-40 miles a week in spite of having consecutive months of eating 4000-4500 calories a day. Now that I chopped the running to a fraction of what I had been doing im gaining weight just fine. Pretty sure the level of cardio was keeping...

    Anyone here bulking in their late 30's/40's? How did it go?

    @hudson61 I watch Dr Mike, good stuff. I'm very habitual with my diet and also cook/prepare 100% of my food which is good for being able to make incremental changes- I also notice my weight is incredibly consistent- I typically am within +/- 0.1lbs every morning, never really see multiple lb...

    I need help deciding if this workout should only be done once a week or if I lack a high fitness levellevel

    @swan617 Is your nutrition up to snuff? Would recommend a good whey protein shake w/5g creatine immediately following workouts to help recovery and also make sure your protein intake is high (at least .7g/lb of bodyweight but even 1g per lb is a great target). Make sure magnesium/zinc/vitamin...
