'dedication' is for those who hold the belief that extra effort will be the difference between you and everyone else.

'experience' is knowing 'dedication' doesn't matter.

It's not the food it's the time. I sometimes think about stopping to get more time in my day.

As a lifetime now middle aged natty, I'm really looking at diminishing returns now for the effort I put in and think about other things i could be doing instead, or spending more time on instead.

But I'm happier with my health and my appearance than when I'm not lifting, so I guess I'll keep going for the foreseeable future.

Don't you mean you are happier with your health and appearance when you are lifting?

Personally, I recently decided that it is good to adapt workouts and diet to one's age. I used to want to be big. Being big takes a lot of hard work, sometimes it means using steroids, supplements and eating like a maniac. These things eventually take a toll on our bodies. My current mind set is to be slim, fit and relatively fat free. To achieve this, I'm scaling back my workout routine, eating less and in general doing things in moderation.

Not at the moment. But I'm fine with that. My peak was when I was 29 years old, worked out 6 days a week at a ghetto gym and weighed 225 lbs. That's how I remember it. I was probably just fat.  ::)

Being jacked at 70 years of age is vastly different from being young and being jacked. I have no delusions about that.

I remember once I slacked off bodybuilding, I still trained but not much just every now and then and I was partying a lot with drugs and alcohol and eating shitty food, after doing this for a bit one day I looked in the mirror and saw this fat piece of shit staring back at me.
I freaked out cut off the party friends and bitches for a bit and went hardcore into the gym to get back my shape, now I just party 3 or 4 times monthly and I dont stay out later than 2am, I will never go down that road again.

At least I have the excuse of being old. What is your excuse? Mental retardation or insanity as a result of getting syphilis from several of those street prostitutes you supposedly frequent.

Compared to you, I am hardly fat.

I "quit" on July 3rd.  

It's good to take breaks for joint and connective tissue healing, especially after you hit 40 (currently 48).

I did not gain weight per se, but I definitely exchanged muscle for fat over the past several months.  Eating normally for the most part, 2-3 meals/day.  I actually save money because I'm not as hungry and don't need to eat as much when off.

Ready to go back next week.  First day will be leg day, not chest/back day -lol

For me, the trick is to eat much smaller meals. Also, I am definitely an ectomorph. When I don't workout, I always lose weight and some fat. Aside from a little extra skin, my current waist measurement is almost the same as when I was in my twenties. I'm hoping that this inch or so of skin will tighten up some. It's hard to tell what will happen at my age.

I will train until I can't anymore. The iron stabilizes me. The iron is always there, ready to go. It never complains. Through good times and bad, there is iron. I enjoy lifting too much to ever give it up.

I use to be a good runner when I was young. After college track I stopped most of my running and all I cared about was getting big in my small frame. During most of my 40's I looked really good completely natural. I could never be good enough to compete but vainly I state I used to get complements on my build all the time.

Now at 55 I feel my joints are giving out after decades of power bodybuilding. I have returned to running and I have lost so much muscle running for distance but I feel healthy both physically and mentally. It's hard as you age to deal with diminishing physical ability. I was a sprinter but when I ran with distance guys I could string together 5 something miles pace in my 20's. Now on rare days when I can run 7 something minute pace it feels like I'm almost sprinting. Instead of loading the bar for my deadlifts 405lbs I now do my reps with in the low 300lbs range. Aging stinks. I know there are so many old geezers juicing but it will bite them and then their real physique will be an embarrassment.  At least they can pull out a picture from their wallet like all ex juicers do.

Sometimes I wish I was never involved in bodybuilding. It is a sport based on drugs. No drugs would equal no sport of bodybuilding. I ask myself if I would have been better off if I just would have combined body weight exercise and cardio like running. It would have been healthy and hopefully would have preserved my joints. Have you ever met a guy who trained from their teens to their 50's without having a major joint issue? It's really rare.

I heard you are trying to quit drinking remember the only way to break a habit is to replace is with something else, get a gym membership and start lifting some hardcore iron.

Urbemann, I look at the physiques of real athletes like wrestlers, MMA, sprinters, Olympic weightlifters and others and no one has the bloated steroid bodybuilding look. Bodybuilding is a drug cosmetic temporary look. I would rather look like an athlete. I think bodybuilders have a warped perception of what a good build looks like.

X2.....but I still can't help training heavy and wanting to get really back into it .....then when I get a good 5-6 week run, something gets injured and it becomes a mental letdown....you think 'what fcking now!'.....since my mid 30s it's been roller coaster.....17 years of training comes home to roost.

qft

This is what I try and tell people who are in love with the bloated waddling drug abuser look. The athletes you mentioned hold more ideal physiques to me than most "bodybuilders." And if they happen to also train like a bodybuilder as well as the conventional way according to their respective sport, even better. THAT is ideal. Show and go.
