OK my turn - the O L D guy part of thread.
(so sorry) I have been lurking on this thread,
have not had the time to post . . .
I graduated school at 5'8" 125 lbs., was a wrestler
throughout high school. I too relate to being smaller
(mentioned elsewhere in thread) and disliked feeling
threatened. BUT I had big friends, rarely got picked-
on, with exception (8 years old) of **3 bullies holding
me down and cramming *dirt clods* in my mouth.
Personal healing moment there - speaking the petty
truths of youth, at one point feeling threatend . . .
I a l w a y s liked the way that exercise makes
you feel - always been somewhat of a hormone junky.
Lifetime Athlete, 46 years
old YOUNG
Mostly did cadio/endurance based training
H A R D core bicycle riding (until 35-36 years old)
started weight training at 19 and have done
ever since, biking stood in direct conflict with
attempts at bulking, tendancy to be hard-gainer.
Body fat tends to be below 10% 24/7, easily
done without red wine . . . certain carbs.
I did my first program at 35 years old.
I AM a proponent of training natural up to
genetic limits and t h e n consider hormones
as body declines its production. I have done
periodized Hgh since I turned 40 years old.
Averaged body weight (195) past 10 years
185 lbs. natural is easy for me to maintain
without AAS.
5' 8", 45" chest, 32" waist,
24" thighs, 16-17" arms,
Train my body parts oddly.
...I leave alot more time for recovery
than when when I was younger...
smaller parts heal quicker and
overall recovery IS multi-faceted
Arms and calfs 2x week.
Chest every 5th day
Back 6 to 7 days
Legs 7 to 9 days
shoulders incidentally trained...
s e l d o m do any cardio
particularly catabolic to me,
strips weight off of me . . .
My current program based on
my last cycle very effective - (intent)
improved shape, overall hardening.
kept vascular throughout.
