Re: over 40 club , male/ female discussion.

i have more energy than friends in my age bracket. i look better, am stronger, and over-all happier to tell the truth....but after i ripped my tricep tendon a few months ago i'm thinking i might have to approach this from a defferent angle now....we'll see. i constantly get my friends wanting nutrition and excersize advice (really, all ages) but its rare one sticks with it.

Re: over 40 club , male/ female discussion.

Hey Unclem, great to see you here bro! Ill be 48 this year. Been on Hrt for a little over a year. Been cycling on an off for quite some time. Always striving for more growth, but sometimes life gets in the way, and sometimes can't train as often as I would like.
But I'm still big enough to scare the shit out of daughters boyfriends! Lmao!

Re: over 40 club , male/ female discussion.

i dont do BB anymore but i can tell a difference in ability to recover after training as to when i was young. the high impact stuff i do now wrecks my joints and i have to baby them so they dont hurt so bad. i also have trouble keeping up with the young guys at the camp. oh and speed has defiantly decreased. still have power though

getting old sucks although i regularly have people tell me i look to be in my early to mid 30s!

Re: over 40 club , male/ female discussion.

I am nearing 44. I feel that I look pretty good for my age and noone ever guesses that I am in my 40's. I have encountered more injuries though, in my 40's. My body doesn't always feel so great but it doesn't shoe on the outside. I am definitely stronger physically, and mentally, than I was when I was in my 20's.

Re: over 40 club , male/ female discussion.

I simply do it for myself and how it makes me feel, when I see my friends and people I went to school with it makes me feel even better. So many don't take care of themselves at all and look like crap. It,s just something I enjoy and a lifestyle I have chosen to follow. I don't lift to be huge, just to stay fit and strong. I need a lot more warm up sets to keep from hurting my joints but that's no big deal. Hopefully it will improve my overall health as I continue to get older.

Working out. Its the fountain of youth.
I can tell if I am in shape or out of shape by how fast I can sprint. I have a field here where I go out and sprint, and if I feel like I am carrying a fridge on my back, then I know I have some work to do..LOL...When I am loose and fluid and strong, I feel like Usain Bolt when I am sprinting..LOL...You all know what I mean

Re: over 40 club , male/ female discussion.

I'll be 50 this year and I've already had 4 (3 left/1 right) knee repairs, one rotator cuff repair, bicep sprangs, and currently my other shoulder is injured, hoping that it's not another rotator cuff tear. Two months ago, I joined Team Mendy's PL team and don't have any intentions on quitting the weights anytime soon.

Re: over 40 club , male/ female discussion.

How do you all feel when you wake up in the morning?
I know a lot of people who say they are just aching, sore and can hardly move when they get up in the morning. Takes them a while to get moving. These are folks in their 30s and 40s. I suppose some of it could be due to occupational factors.

Re: over 40 club , male/ female discussion.

I turned 54 this past November. I am in the gym 6 days a week. I refuse to give up on my strength and size. Sure there are some aches and pains, but nothing I can't live with. It seems the same aches and pains have been around as long as I can remeber.
There are certain exercises I have givenn up, such as squats and heavy deadlifts, kind of hard to do when you have 2 disks that are pretty close to being shot. But I have found ways around them and keep trying to make gains.

Re: over 40 club , male/ female discussion.

It's doing wonders for me ! I also do Open Hand Kempo and Just started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Im still agile (probally better) and I look and feel better than I did twenty-something years ago. I workout/martial arts probally six time a week (gotta take a day off to fish or hike) because I can. I have energy and the strength to do all that, thanks to taking care of myself the best I can. Those words are true "At least I have my health and the balls to make a difference".
