Thanks, I’m feeling the leg workout today though. The person I was training with didn’t want to do glute kickbacks because they are “a girls machine” but let me tell you, I feel it in my glutes.

With my dieting, I have been eating more protein but haven’t focused on diet yet. Maybe in a couple weeks I will be ready to start focusing on that. My appetite has gone up and I am eating more. But not consuming anywhere near what I was when bodybuilding.

Supplement wise I started to take BCAA after training. But like with the diet, I am not focusing on supplements right now. That will come after I start to focus in my diet.

Overall: I feel great to be back in the gym. I am pleased so far with the strength gains. Since the New Years, the gym has been a bit busy. I can not complain about that though because I am just getting back into things also. I just didn’t wait till New Years to do it.

Stepped on the scale today, weighed 224. I am going back up in weight but find my gut is getting smaller. With the gains in strength I am also building muscle so I am good with going up in weight as long as my gut is getting smaller.

Good on you brother for having the balls to post up your starting pix!

You have a good group of supportive brothers here. I for one have traveled the road you are on. During my never ending divorce I was a drinking like a fish and completely gave up on proper diet.

I was 5'8" 215 and God only knows how high my BF was. This from being over 220 with around 10% BF in my late 30s. It can be done brother. I am older than you and I am is respectable shape again. Currently just under 190 mid cycle after cutting to 178. I would venture a guess at BF around 12-13% and holding some water weight due to the gear. Just today a stranger walked up to me in the gym obviously noticing I was a "older dude" and told me I looked great. Maybe he was gay but at least I look good to a gay dude...

Keep it up and keep yourself motivated by posting your progress brother. We love to see it!

Good liftin!

Thanks Dakota! I figured just post starting pic. I have a few bets with people that I can get back into decent shape by summer time. Luckily for me in the past I have cut body fat relatively easy. Not going for the body building size this time. But I will probably change my mind when I start looking better.

Dakota, remember a complement is a complement no matter who it is from!

Trained Legs today. Did squats for the first time in almost 4 years. I did not feed comfortable with my form which is why I didn’t go above 135lbs. So I was tweaking form while doing my sets. Just don’t want to get hurt. So for my other lifts I added extra sets than usual or did drop sets. Basically I played around with it and made it a fun and exhausting leg day.

Squat: 135x12, 135x10, 135x10
Hack squat: 90x12, 180x10, 270x10, 360x10
Leg Extensions:150x10, 180x10 / drop set 180x8 130x4)
Straight leg dead’s: 135x10, 185x8
Prone leg curl: 50x10 (2legs) 40x8 (1leg) x8 (2legs), 50x6 (1leg) x 6(2leg)
Calf raises: 230x12, 310x12, 330x10, 330x10
Glute Kickbacks: 50x10, 70x10

Stepped on the scale on my way out, came in at 214 which is 11lbs down from when I started.
