I'm now 53 and 90% recovered from achilles tendon surgery On June 1.
I used to compete from 1978 to 1993 in aprox 40 contests in those 15 yrs , mostly as a Lt Hvy ( 195 ish at 5' 9"). I am considering getting on stage again by next summer ( 10 months). I currently weigh 250 lbs at aprox 19% body fat but have 20" arms. I figure I need to LOSE a good 40 lbs at this point.
My diet has been pretty crappy and I have been diagnosed with osteo arthritis in my right shoulder and sacrum/lowback. I use androgel, prescribed by my doc to keep my testoserone levels in the ideal range. I won't use any steroids , HGH or slin for personal reasons , so don't suggest it.
I have access to excellent gyms and a decent career as a physics teacher. My personal life is going quite well , and I'm getting married (again) this fall. I would welcome any suggestions or unique ideas to help my training and diet.
Not sure how this thread will fly on here, but what the hell?

Isn't this sort of a broad question?? If you want to compete next year than compete...you've done the diet and training before. Competing in over 40 contests means you should know your body pretty well by now.
My advice...just fucking do it and quit humming and hawwing and looking for reassurance.

Pretty much this!

My advice, bodybuilding lifestyle and prepping for a contest suck. Plus, you've got an injury and arhtritis. You're 53 years old. Jog, bike, do some light weight lifting, and enjoy your life. You're getting married, start taking regular vacations and enjoy yourself. Seriously, to be competitive at your age would be a lot of work, and you're really not going to get much out of it.
-
Drop a few weight classes, compete every once and a while for fun. And stop worrying about this stuff.
-
its fina and all being natural, but,lol, dont compete as a natty, youll experience embarassment and humiliation
LOL, maybe that was why I quit back in 1995, haha.
Nah, I did just fine as a Lt Hvy on little or no drugs in regional shows
-

This is just stupid.
If you want to compete natty Howard than do it. After 40 shows I'm sure you've come onto stage in all different types of shape.
After the age of 50 people just respect the fact you got on stage no matter what shape you come in.
-

You and Twaddle's post are right on.
At this point the only that makes sense is to drop wt, do cardio and compete under 200 lbs in a local show for my own satisfaction.
That makes me motivated and feels "right" thanks.
It would be silly and frustrating to get "too serious" with my arthritis and overall wholesome lifestyle.
-
My only advice is don't get married. ;D

Most of the regional shows I did good in were when I followed that basic cal diet plan and did 4 x a 75 min HIT workout each week.
When I get all "serious" and complicate things I burn out and don't do jack shit.

Hemochromatosis Symptoms
Probably the greatest difficulty in diagnosing early hemochromatosis is that it is non-specific and symptoms are vague. Many sufferers are often diagnosed with the "flu" or "chronic fatigue syndrome". If the correct tests are not done sufferers may even be given iron tablets which further worsen their symptoms.
The earliest symptoms of hemochromatosis are fatigue and aching joints. Once iron has begun to accumulate in body tissues the liver may be affected. In the past it has not been uncommon for sufferers to be suspected or being secret drinkers when abnormal liver function tests are found.
As iron continues to accumulate the condition of the liver may worsen and other organs may be affected.
Other organs which may be involved include the skin, pancreas, ovaries, testes, heart, digestive system, thyroid and joints.
Annoying skin rashes, palpitations, impotence and diabetes may be a consequence of too much iron.
Many patients suffer from recurrent infections and may decide to take "immune boosters" which are metabolized by the liver. This can make their condition worse.
Patients with severe hemochromatosis may present with blood poisoning, heart failure, failure of the reproductive organs and severe arthritis where joint replacement is necessary. In the worst cases liver transplant may be necessary. Men over 55 years of age with severe hemochromatosis have 200 times the chance of developing liver cancer.

Clearly this tread is flying all over the place. Anyway, realistic goals are a positive thing which everyone should have. Without goals, one is usually going nowhere. Good luck with all you want to do in life. Obviously, you are persistent considering after three marriages, you are ready to try this again.

Hi Howard. When you hit the fifties you start worrying about old age. The so-called mid-life crisis is actually about fearing old age. One way to avoid feeling old is to look buff and fit. In addition
those contemplating marriage want to look good in the wedding photos so do something about excess weight, etc.
250 pounds isn't that big but if you used to compete at 195 you probably should keep your weight about 210 and no more than 220. You can then easily reduce 20 pounds to compete.
The problem about competing at your age is that things have changed a lot in the last 20 years. Competitors win who are usually ripped and that takes a lot to get into such lean condition.
When and if you do get lean you will have lost too much size to make it worthwhile. I recommend that you set yourself a goal and then take some photos to post here on Getbig. That is
sufficient incentive to look good. In the end, titles and trophies mean almost nothing. Having another go doesn't mean much, either. If you need to win a trophy to feel good then you are
never going to feel satisfied. Keep your arms big but don't let the waist get too big and you should be fine.
Beth seems like a nice woman. Good luck to both of you.

I'm now 53 and 90% recovered from achilles tendon surgery On June 1.
My personal life is going quite well , and I'm getting married (again) this fall.
I would welcome any suggestions or unique ideas to help my training and diet.
Not sure how this thread will fly on here, but what the hell?
Why get married again? I think i'd never marry again if i ever became single. Don't you know how that story ends, given your advanced age?
So far as 'the comeback' is concerned...shit, i don't even understand what the question is. Why not start training again, get back on the diet and see how close you can get to competition shape. If you'd live in my borough i'd partner up with you in the gym and what not. Do you have a training partner? That might put you on the fast track to getting in shape.

LOL, no offense here and I understand why anyone would rip me at this point.
1. I was looking for some insights in staying motivated t follow thru and NOT pack it in this time.
* think lowering my expectations and just doing the best I can to get on stage with the over 50 masters might just work.
I felt discouraged and set the bar too high in the past . The lower goal is keeping it fun and real.
That's different this time.
2. On another unrelated area, I have been married ad divorced 3 x. I'm optimistic this one might last for life now.
I don't quit or give up on things I believe in...like bodybuilding and marriage.
BOTH can be dysfunctional, but when they work, nothing is better.

Good reply and realistic goals to go for.
I'm going to get in shape for some get big pics and do a smaller contest in the over 50 class next summer.
I will suck down under 200 to 199 for the 1st time in many years.
Beth is a real doll.

being with Beth has made my life more relaxed and stable.
The wedding will be nice but low key and in the mountains.

God damn Osteo arthritis?! Shit just got real. No big deal the body is just deteriorating in areas that can't be regenerated or repaired! Epic mortality. Good luck with fixing the rest. I just recommend keeping the eye of the tiger. Without it your efforts become tiresome. With the eye of the tiger you have no preference in the world. You simply do everything you KNOW to do when you KNOW to do it everytime it comes up. Whatever IT might be! When you work with the universe, you harness the power of the universe at the same time. Just don't demand it do anymore that it told you it would. From here you may do anything howard. Eat protein and lift weights too.What else?! The question is the answer and you know well that it's as easy as doing it. There's no more need for anyone elses input. You work full time to make it the best it can be without an attachment to whether or not it's finished.

I was listening to Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber which got me hyped for the ol' gym.
Then reality hit me like a stinky, wet fart , right in the face :o
Fantasy mindset - I could lean out and be the Jay Cutler of the NPC masters division.
Reality check - I'm a chunky 53 yr old who hasn't competed since the yr before Clinton's re-election.
I have osteo arthritis in my right shoulder and sacrum/sacro ( low back).
My most fit years are now seen clearly in the rear view mirror. The poontang I can get is like me, older and smells musky.
On the good side , I can still get around without a walker and don't need to wear Depends. I still have most of the hair on my head, despite more nose and butt hair. I'm getting married again for the 4th time and my fiance' still likes to "do it" ( or at least pretends to).
I can stand naked in the gym locker room now with 1 foot up on the bench and say ;" Back in my day..."
Aaaaa screw it, I'm going to the gym but I might not lift. I can at least ride the exercise bike for 30 min while I watch some cable news show.
I can mutter and mumble abut how the country is going to hell while I ride. Then I can go sit in the hot tub and do my best to look like the creepy older guy , waiting to hit on some poor female.

On the good side , I can still get around without a walker and don't need to wear Depends. I still have most of the hair on my head, despite more nose and butt hair. I'm getting married again for the 4th time and my finance' still likes to "do it" ( or at least pretends to).
I can stand naked in the gym locker room now with 1 foot up on the bench and say ;" Back in my day..."
Aaaaa screw it, I'm going to the gym but I might not lift. I can at least ride the exercise bike for 30 min while I watch some cable news show.
I can mutter and mumble abut how the country is going to hell while I ride. Then I can go sit in the hot tub and do my best to look like the creepy older guy , waiting to hit on some poor female.
whats wrong with you, you dont have to lift heavy weights and just use some gh and you will look good and bang some 18 year olds.

I heard that Howard was looking to get back in shape and do another bodybuilding competition.
-
Now, he's just that 'guy' who corners you and tells you how he was in better shape than you at your age, and you look at him in all his delusion and fatness and just nod and walk away.

You just smile and nod knowingly until you see that little glimmer of hope in his eyes while slowly backing away towards the nearest escape route. But that is only the beginning isn't it? Because it is only at that point after escaping that you log into a site like getbig.com only to see his handle and thereby become forced to ingest a never ending sequence of regurgitated and interminable "butt" and "fart" jokes that seemingly have no connotation nor sliver of gaiety about them.

It's true...
Howard you need some of that drive and determination that your fellow age-bracket member "Wes" has. Take your vitamins and tren, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and get out there and win that plastic trophy man. Dozens on GetBig are counting on you to stick with this and be a man of your word posts. Do it, before Wes takes a pass at your gal and impresses her with his 10 pack and offers to take her for an early-bird special steak dinner.

Howard, back in the day....1971....I remember going to the Coogee Gym and looking forward to a good workout. I picked up the latest copy of Ironman with Casey Viator on the cover and Sergio Oliva inside. I thought to myself, 'what is the point?' No matter how hard I trained I was never going to get as big as those two giants. So that day I took a walk along the beach at Coogee and drove home without working out.
-
I was listening to Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber which got me hyped for the ol' gym.
Then reality hit me like a stinky, wet fart , right in the face :o
Fantasy mindset - I could lean out and be the Jay Cutler of the NPC masters division.
Reality check - I'm a chunky 53 yr old who hasn't competed since the yr before Clinton's re-election.

Howard, you are suffering from the mild depression that sets in when you realize that there is no point in getting big and strong anymore. Age has a way of doing that to you. So back off on the weights and enjoy life. One heavy workout a week will maintain your muscle mass. Life is too short to worry about things which dont matter in the grand scheme of things.

I will look like a veritable god at 57 years old...............body under construction as we speak,not farting in a hot tub waiting to grow old dead!

I'm sure Howard was funnyish about 8 years ago?

And Wes isn't waiting to grow old, old is waiting to grow Wes.

Lots of self-loathing in this thread.
Take a page from Michael Smiriglio's book. Buy a gun, and shoot your dick off. You don't need it anyway.

After 3-4 marriages, being a high school teacher, and seeing the guys you taught come back and be bigger than you'll ever be, I think it's high time he take up another hobby, like fishing, wood-work, painting (Bob Ross Style), drawing, law school, buy a Porsche, fix up an old car, learn to dance salsa or samba with the wife (women get in shape from that)...
Or sit on the couch and watch the Oprah Channel.

You're the same loser that posted the thread about wanting advice for getting in shape? So the people saying this is you M.O. were right. Look at you, you're pathetic. At your age and still acting like a 15yr old.
Get a grip you old coot.

Are you saying he should lift more and post a hell of a lot less?

I'm just glad I wasn't walking near a beach when that happens to me.
I might just keep walking out into the ocean.... :D

The estrogen is strong in this thread.
You might as well buy a teddy bear and curl up in the fetal position, farting yourself to sleep/death.

I stopped reading after Lady Gaga......

Jesus, Howard. You have more mindset changes than a menopausal prostitute. Grow a sack, lift some heavy weights and get that proper eating going. You know how to do this. Do it!

See? What happened to the renewed passion for bodybuilding? It's like ADDDDDD.. Except I know you're a physics teacher, and you can't get ANYWHERE in physics being scatterbrained- which is why I failed to get anywhere in physics. So I am confused. PS - was trying to motivate you, you big lug! Signing off in search of therapy and inner peace..

That must have broken your sweet old 68yr old heart Vince :'(

Fuck Howard....great pics from the past!
Thanks a bunch. I miss contest prep and being on stage despite what a pain in the stinkhole it can be hahaha.
I gotta hit the ol gym and do a chest ,tris and a routine.
How goes your training?

X 2 I am really impressed Howard. Those pics should be motivation enough for you to train your ass off and get back up onstage.

You looked fukin good Howard. Got to give credit where it's due.
I think you might just have shut a few fukers up who like to bust your balls.

I`ve known Howard from the www for ten years....no tension between us,he`s a good guy who used to have an awesome physique and he still loves bodybuilding.
But,for 10 of those 10 years he has posted this same type of thread a zillion times.
Shit or get off the pot Howie you can do it,you used to look fantastic,better than most amateur bodybuilders in your day.
Peace and good luck until the next time you post this same thread again ! :D
this! (and i truly like Howie!)

Well, I see no other option for you but to take the 333 route and post on GB 100 times a day. Get cracking man, it will give your life meaning.

Go Howie

Thanks and yeah I get some level of satisifaction by having some getbiggers seeing my old pics and realizing I walked the walk , NOT just talked the talk. Did just over 40 shows from 1978-1995.
-
this! (and i truly like Howie!)
Ya know Mike you are 100% right to point out my waffling over the past 10 plus yrs.
I last competed at a drug tested show in Texas in 1995.
In all modesty I got shredded and the most ripped look, I ever had on stage.
After the show, one judge told me , I looked like I was going to explode when I hit my most muscular pose.
To get like THAT,( without any drugs) I had to suffer thru some serious diet and contest prep.
Ok, this will sound odd, but right after the finals and looking at my trophy, I felt something "break" deep inside me.
No, nothing physical broke, it was something emotional or spritual or whatever?
After 17 yrs and over 40 shows, this last contest prep broke me. I knew ,deep inside, I couldn't suffer thru any more contest prep.
I simply wanted to train and ENJOY bodybuilding as a fun hobby.
Since that last show, I have judged , trained, attended shows and posted on various forums.
It has been fun, but sometimes I miss the feeling of being ripped on stage.
I start thinking of doing a contest, but I just can't bring myself to stay the course and quickly abort .
Now, at 53 and several years removed from that last show, I am at a different place.
I am nearly recovered from my achilles heel tendon surgery from last June and am training hard again.
Who knows what the future will hold for the Howardbeast.
Hey Big Mike, how's your training and life after Laura.??????? ???
-
Didn't read all of this crappy thread but I will say this. Bob Paris in his book Flawless, says "be as perfect as you can be." meaning don't compare yourself to others just achieve what you can and be at YOUR best. Your best is better than your worst or avg right?
-
Well, I see no other option for you but to take the 333 route and post on GB 100 times a day. Get cracking man, it will give your life meaning.
I'm already on it!

Contest prep sucks for me! The training becomes like a job and I feel like a pin cushion, but its a labor of love

It hurts when it first goes in, but we take it as a labor of love ;)
