55 years old here. I started barbell training 6 years ago as a complete novice lifter, and my only regret is to not have started it sooner. I gained 11 kg (25 lbs) bodyweight since then, i look muscular and athletic, in better shape than I've ever been. Numbers: DL 340 lbs x 5, SQ 295 lbs x 5, BP 200 lbs single ( my weakest lift), on 190 lbs body weight. It's been a few years that I'm in late intermediary / advanced range, but I'm still making slow progresses. If i had started at age 40 instead of 49 I'll probably be lifting more by now.

At 35, and training still pretty hard and sustaining a high degree of discipline and humility, I actually feel about the same as I did when I started lifting at 14. Except everything including physical and mental bandwidth is easy with the life hack of exercise, and now I see a massive amount of ROI on all my hard work with my health, joints, physique, bone density, injury prevention, muscle mass, blood profile, heart function, sleep, and stress levels.

Hell yeah, I love when you talk about your mother or other older women that are lifted way more than me that I do at 46 years old. I'm a 46-year-old menopause alcoholic woman but your videos motivate me to do better and I appreciate that I want to be where they are one day I want to do better. Thank you for making your videos. Sorry for any typos I've been planned all my life and you talk to text. My mother always told me one thing worse than alcoholic was a blind alcoholic that had to use type to text. She might be right. She was blind and died at 70 years old.

❤️ from a woman who started barbell training with her husband two years ago and is now 46 years old I hurt you and my husband. Take care

[sherrischwartz]

I was trying to say that I used talk-to-text and that last post still came out not right!

How was trying to say that I am blind and use talk to text.

Got a noticeable belly and chubby cheeks coach? Strength and cardio are on opposite ends of the fitness spectrum. The answer is in the middle.
