Title: I have decided to get back in shape.
Post by: Pray_4_War on January 16, 2018, 04:41:26 PM
Just picked up a shit ton of frozen chicken breasts and George Foreman grill.  Potatoes, Broccoli, a little bit of fish.

It feels good, like the old days.  This is the simple life that I enjoy, regimented diet, no eating at restaurants, no fast food.  I don't know how I fell out of the lifestyle for so long.

I've been lifting all along but I look like a permabulker.  Now is the time to get lean and mean.  Has any of the rest of you old-timers tried to resuscitate you physique recently?

Is there anyone left on Getbig that still trains and eats like a bodybuilder?  Join Me!

I'm with ya. Approaching 50 years young. Looked at picture of what I used to look like and father time is a bastard. Along the way I helped him out with alcohol and too much food. Still are like I was training my ass off but veryittle training. Over the years I fell into the once in a while to keep strength. I quit alcohol last July and just doing that has been amazing on weight loss and energy. I biked all summer and got a trainer for the bike to use in home gym. Been lifting a lot more regular and slowly my strength is going up. Feels great. Been using the Nutri Bullet and eating much better quality foods. Quit caffeine  and am sleeping all night without tossing and turning. I still have a way to go but am excited for this summer to be in my best shape in 15 years.

I wish you and anyone else doing likewise the best.

www.soflete.com

They have workouts designed around your goals - strength / stamina / shooting (yes, combining athletic training with shooting / basic etc.............

It's 25 bucks a month.  The app lays out the workouts, you track them via the app, there's video instruction.......and it works.  

Not for the meek, though.  But it's totally worth a shot.  I've done their Phoenix and Chimera cycles.

Good to see the government is focused on the important things.  God forbid someone should want to put on a little lean muscle or smoke a joint in the privacy of their own home.  Phaggots.

Damn, that sounds a little too intense for me.  I'm planning to lean out slowly over time.

I like the shooting part though.

I work out like a dog but have zero discipline with eating and alcohol.  In my youth I could out work bad diet but now that's not happening. Over the holidays I gained 10lbs and I can barely close my pants. 5'8" 190 is just to heavy for this natural nearly 60 guy.

This week I'm determined to do cardio 6 days a week in addition to my lifting. I normally do cardio twice a week and if I'm lucky 3 days a week. My lifting is right where I want it now. I just have to lose fat. I was at a party two weeks ago and this 30 something girl said, " You look like you work out everyday." Made me feel good for a second but I feel like crap about how I can look when I'm on target. I guess guys seriously into the Iron game have high standards and I'm one of them.

Looking to clean up diet, and back off alcohol now, Ill be 52 soon, I never gained much weight, but I could use to drop a few lbs, and throw in a bit of cardio.
(And get off TRT, the sides on even a little test-e are killing me)...

Good luck w/ your goals...

What sides effects are you having with TRT?  Two of my friends go to the same doctor for their testosterone. They look like they are on recreational steroids. Bloated red faces. Looks like they are retaining water and their blood pressure is high. I wonder if this particular doc is giving high dosages?

 I went to two different doctors to get TRT and both were against it. One was an endocrinologist. One said it's no good for the heart because it changes the viscosity of the blood. The other said I would regret it when I have prostate problems like so many men get as they age. He said then it would I would be a flabby soft mess as they would have to cut off testosterone to slow the prostate growth.

A third doctor a urologist put me on Clomid. My natural testosterone spiked dramatically.  When his replacement urologist saw me he said clomid is used to increase fertility in men for the short term. It increases the risk of brain cancer. He said there were no long time use studies in men and I should get off it immediately. He also said low testosterone levels are in placed based on studies from the testosterone manufacturers. Just like cholesterol levels with statin manufacturers. He told me I'm muscular and have a good sex drive. He said my testosterone number is just a number.  He said he has seen men with high natural testosterone levels that by the looks of them weren't exactly manly built men. He also threw in that the best way to increase testosterone naturally is to get as lean as you can. He said high fat levels are a testosterone killer. Anyway this has been my experience seeking TRT. I know that many guys over 50 have their testosterone script.

Currently cutting on about 1800 cals.  Keeping protein much higher than normal around 200 g/day.  Carbs/low fat on 3 lifting days, low carb/high fat one day not lifting, on a 3 way split: legs, chest/tri/shoulders, back (incl deads)/bi/neck, off.  Abs light daily, cardio daily.  Lifts and stamina hanging in there.

I’ve gotten into running pretty seriously last couple years as the body has been too beat up for martial arts. I find it’s a lot easier to keep the weight off. I’ve always believed it’s a good idea to get lighter as you get older. Carrying extra weight around when your body is already slowing down makes you a lethargic fuck. If running is not your thing, you can always do the bicycle or some sort of elliptical whatever. The good thing about running other than the fitness benefits is that if you enter some races there’s lots of pussy at these events. Women usually make up the majority and They tend to be friendly. If I were 25 again I wouldn’t even hang out in bars. I go to sleep early and enter a 5K every weekend.

Good luck with the program.

100% agree.

The extra weight has zero benefit to the body.   Only those with bigorexia can't accept losing it.

If you are into fit women a 5 or a 10k has plenty of them.  Not the slugs that enter but the serious female runners. Saw 40 year old blonde running a 5K in a belly shirt with serious abs. She looked about 115 to 120lbs. Ran like a deer.

From what I’ve seen,  the hot ones run at about eight minute per mile pace. The real fast ones are usually the skinny drawn out types. The back of the pack is filled with fat broads.

You are a wise man and most people would be smart to follow your advise.

Unfortunately, my desire to get back into shape has nothing to do with health or getting laid, it's all about my ego and my warped perception ofwhat my body should look like.

If I were 20 or 25 again I'd do exactly what you outlined here but....

Proper TRT and im talking 100mg per week is therapeutic, donate blood 4 times a year to offset the negative blood effects and do cardio daily. Makes me laughs when hear guys think even 250mgs per week is TRT its not your kidding yourself . I still take a few months off as well each year just trying to get down a few kilos from the last in an attempt to get lighter as I get older. TRT negates this a bit as it stops you wasting.

I humbly disagree.  Train hard, keep protein high, and get to 10% on your own.  Don't rush and you're not going to lose muscle.  Your lifts will tell you that.  What you'll lose is size that you were optimistically telling yourself was muscle.

If you have decent sex drive and good health you shouldn't fuck with your nuts imo.  If hrt is genuinely warranted that's another matter.

I already feel leaner.  Ni66a I'm so hyped.  Leg day tomorrow.  Gotta stay motivated.

Brother, I've only been at this a few days and when I went out today I could already tell the ladies were looking at me like they want to suck my hog.

Eggs for breakfast today with oatmeal and a little peanut butter.  Chicken on the grill right now.  Yeah Buddy!

From what I’ve seen,  the hot ones run at about eight minute per mile pace. The real fast ones are usually the skinny drawn out types. The back of the pack is filled with fat broads.



There are many hot ones running 7 minute miles too. There are exceptions to the women who run faster but I agree some of them who are running 40 to 50 miles a week are too drawn out. Yes, there are a big group of fat ones entering these races too. 

I'm doing cardio every day now. I'm getting weak and have that exhausted feeling. Hopefully I will start to adapt. Unless you're on gear you're not going to be going for 5 mile runs and doing either heavy squats or deadlifts the day after.

I’ve gotten into running pretty seriously last couple years as the body has been too beat up for martial arts. I find it’s a lot easier to keep the weight off. I’ve always believed it’s a good idea to get lighter as you get older. Carrying extra weight around when your body is already slowing down makes you a lethargic fuck. If running is not your thing, you can always do the bicycle or some sort of elliptical whatever. The good thing about running other than the fitness benefits is that if you enter some races there’s lots of pussy at these events. Women usually make up the majority and They tend to be friendly. If I were 25 again I wouldn’t even hang out in bars. I go to sleep early and enter a 5K every weekend.

Good luck with the program.

No. Distance running isn’t popular among the ghetto types. Inner-city blacks specialize more in anaerobic type running which is useful in team sports like football and basketball, and, of course, for evading law enforcement. Moreover, races require an entry fee and, from what I’ve seen, they don’t accept EBT cards.

I ran a half marathon in upstate New York. There were about 800 runners. The only black guy I saw was collecting cans after the race.

That said, the elites of the sport are Kenyans and Ethiopians but they’re all about 5’5” and weigh 120 pounds.

The other said I would regret it when I have prostate problems like so many men get as they age. He said then it would I would be a flabby soft mess as they would have to cut off testosterone to slow the prostate growth.


That Doctor has no idea what he is taking about. Many studies have debunked that theory. Common sense itself debunks that as then it would be rampant among younger men and it isn't. It is generally after testosterone declines as we age that it happens. Most likely culprit at this time is estrogen.

Look up John Crisler, Mark Gordon for factual/up to date information on TRT.

The kitchens are like 7-11s with all they shit they have.  So I eat good at home then travel and eat like shit then get bloated as fuck from all of the carbs and salt. Then continue that vicious circle.  Hard resisting all the food around. Like working at the playboy mansion and not jerking off 10 times a day.

Hope you not getting your information from studies by the testosterone makers. Many studies concerning cholesterol were financed by the statin makers and the low test epidemic studies are sponsored by the test makers. Again just for clarity. When you have an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer the first thing they do is stop testosterone production whether innate or from outside sources. They don't give you an anti estrogen.

Nope, your doctors info is false on testosterone itself and its influence on the prostate. This is common knowledge at this point for those who specialize in that field. You can argue with Crisler all you want. Could care less what they do when the premise is false. As stated is there a rampant amount of young men with prostate cancer/issues? No, so there is something else that is the cause. Potentially estrogen/testosterone imbalance.
My doctor told me that a test level of 220 is fine because it fell within the range of 200-1000. He was right.....if I was 80. Don't take their word for gospel. Many do not stay up to date and some are simply set in their ways.

I guess if your dr is uninformed enough to do that then you wouldn't want to go on test. Pretty dumb to not be giving out an ai/monitoring estrogen levels. Either lower dose or administer ai.

We're going to do it gentlemen.  We are going to do what most people say can't be done.  Defy the inertia that comes with getting older.

I'm proud of both of you.  Keep going!!!

Not being a dick but it's been like a week so you understand that's water.  Come on, man.  No one loses 14,000 calories worth of fat in a week.  Delusion is the enemy here because it doesn't endure to the finish line.

Imo count macros and calculate overall calories with a target of losing .5-1lb per week.  If you're older or out of shape visit the doc before going balls out with the cardio.

Prostate growth takes a life time of growth. It effects a huge percentage of men as they age. An enlarged prostate does effect some younger steroid users. Steroid use is an illegal subculture. It does not exactly lend itself to subsidized studies of recreational users. Since you're a fan of steroids nothing can change your mind so you rationalize your use.

Here's a lesson on how bodybuilding drugs began. America dominated Olympic lifting. Out of no where the Soviets burst onto the scene in the late 50's and early 60's. Dr.John Bosley Ziegler was a lifter in the York Barbell gym in PA. Drinking with the coach of the Soviets he learned they were using huge amounts of straight testosterone. The Soviet coach told him he was losing athletes because they had trouble urinating because of enlarged prostates and they had to catheterize them self to urinate.  

Male sex steroids have two effects. One is an androgen or male sex characteristics and the other is anabolism. Too much use of straight testosterone was the contributor to the side effects of heart disease and prostate growth. Dr. Ziegler wanted to have a form of testosterone  that would put American Weightlifters in his gym back on top of the world standings in Weight lifting without the side effects. He developed the first anabolic steroid Dianabol. It had lower androgen effect with higher anabolic effects. His first use of it they used too low of a dose. When the Olympic lifters started too much of it they had liver problems. The soviets were winning the race to a better steroids than straight testosterone. After 1960 the American anabolic race was on. Anavar, Winstrol, Anadrol 50 and others soon followed.

On a side note he regretted developing anabolic steroids. He said athletes have now become drug addicts. He blamed his own heart disease on his own use of anabolic steroids.

I remember being in the gyms in the late 70's and early 80's. No one would mess with straight testosterone. Everyone felt it was too dangerous. I would hear some guys say the only ones who use it are power lifters. Now straight testosterone is huge again in the sub culture of drug use to get muscles for cosmetic purposes.

It feels good, like the old days.  This is the simple life that I enjoy, regimented diet, no eating at restaurants, no fast food.  I don't know how I fell out of the lifestyle for so long.

I've been lifting all along but I look like a permabulker.  Now is the time to get lean and mean.  Has any of the rest of you old-timers tried to resuscitate you physique recently?
