@rkenoke Fuck yeah. I’m old and chubby and if I can make half the gains you made I’ll be stoked. Nice work!

 

[rkenoke]

@moialiceme I was stoked at half the gains too tbh

 

[rkenoke]

Never thought I’d ever even get this far

 

[neld1]

@rkenoke Were you always a vegetarian? What sort of meals do you normally eat? I feel like I’d struggle to find meals more than I already do.

 

[rkenoke]

@neld1 Started being veg a couple months before I started. You find your meals and then you stick with it I guess? I eat eggs and toast, chickpea curry over rice, tofu and noodles, cashew sauce over root veg, salads and grilled tempeh, it’s not too crazy.

@rkenoke Respect man, really gives some hope for the older dudes (I am one)

 

[rkenoke]

@david321e Let’s get it

 

[mudmixer]

@rkenoke Hell yeah! I'm also pretty happy with my progress at 41.

@rkenoke Really nice job!

@rkenoke I'm also 38, 6'-3", and 170 lbs. I've been feeling weak, discouraged, and unmotivated lately even though I recently finished physical therapy to rehab my hips and glutes and am ready to charge forward again with my routine.

This was a very inspiring post for me so thank you for sharing your progress that someone our age can really escalate their physique without obsessive calorie and macro tracking. I need to start over and get back on my routine now... Thanks for the motivation and congrats on your accomplishment!

 

[rkenoke]

@camero Rigidity is death. All about taking a sustainable approach!

 

[rkenoke]

@camero You got this!

 

[koobeth]

@rkenoke I assume that’s a full body program?

How does your sets/reps/rest looking like?

I am currently conflicted on doing an upper/lower split 2x a week or a full body 3x week. Curious to hear about your thoughts

 

[rkenoke]

@koobeth Recommended routine. Total body 3x’s week. 3 super sets

 

[athenstojerusalem]

@rkenoke Super inspiring. What was your routine when you started?

 

[rkenoke]

@athenstojerusalem Check out my profile for my 6 month update

 

[rkenoke]

@athenstojerusalem BWF primer then the recommended routine after that

 

[courtneykre]

@rkenoke This is insane. I gotta screenshot this post. Good stuff.

 

[rkenoke]

@courtneykre The recommended routine is on the bwf sub about section! Way more informative
