I'm terrible at motivating myself to work out and I'm really good at convincing myself to eat more. I don't want to be one of those guys who lets themselves go in their 30s. I have a desk job so i really need to change my lifestyle.
The whole "Proper weight" thing is bullshit.My doctor says my healthy weight should be 175. A few years ago i got down to 185 with nothing but running. I lost a lot of muscle mass in my arms and legs. I was ok but wasn’t happy how I looked without the muscle. I feel good and look beefy at 195/200.
I'm anti keto. What i need to do is stop eating pizza and burgers 4 days a week for lunch and start eating salads. I travel a lot for work and don't choose healthy options and i need to change that.You don't need to work out to get there or even mess with Keto. Just count your calories.

I could do that before I took a desk job (it's making me soft), but never would without knee wraps.
Do you have any advice for for old fucks who want to get back into squatting? Back when I was playing football, I was a parallel squat machine. Now my knees have seen better days. Didnt know if braces made much of a difference at all.Nice work man!
Do you squat at all or is leg press your primary leg workout?
Our gym got a belt squat machine about a year ago, so I replaced my back squats with that for a while. I've worked my way up to 410 lbs for sets of 5. I just recently started back squatting again, and my power out of the hole has increased significantly. 405 lb. back squats go up way easier now. I just have to get used to having the weight on my shoulders again.
I was also excited to see my deadlifts go up too. I had been sand-bagging deads for quite a while, and when I decided to man up and quit being a pussy, 495 is coming up surprisingly easy too.
FWIW, just turned 44 years old/315 body weight/6'0 tall.
6’, started at 234 towards mid April. Got down to 221 with Peloton and running then benched myself about 3 weeks ago after having a lot of knee discomfort. Had one of our physical therapists check it out and he said a very tender and aggravated medial meniscus :(
Been doing e stim and icing for a couple of weeks with some improvement and no active exercise. It’d get better then worse. I finally decided to buy new shoes thinking that may be attributing to it. On my third day of wearing my new shoes and already feeling a lot of relief. I’m hoping i may have solved the issue that was amplified by too much resistance on the bike. I’m used to wearing Asics and I went to a completely different shoe. I noticed my feet hurting after wearing them…then my shins…then my knees. But never clicked it was my shoes.
So going to rest a couple more weeks and hopefully get back to working out after I get back from vacation.
edit: I also lost weight due to giving up beer for 6 weeks and sticking to tequila and water. Next routine will include eating cleaner and giving up beer again.

Great job writing all that! I musta been almost hard to say all that without mentioning the name of the NEW FUCKING SHOES you ended up with!!
Man, I am FAR from an expert, so I feel a little awkward giving anyone gym advice. I will tell you what I would I would suggest, and I would love for anyone else to chime in and tell me I'm wrong:Do you have any advice for for old fucks who want to get back into squatting? Back when I was playing football, I was a parallel squat machine. Now my knees have seen better days. Didnt know if braces made much of a difference at all.
Ain't no way in hell you're 200lbs.Also, cheers/kudos to all the guys making the change and sticking with it. This is like the ‘I quit drinking’ thread. I’ve only ever been 200 pounds and I’m 5’8. I thought filling out a size 34 was fat so for the guys who could lose half my weight and still be called fat by someone you have my fucking support. That shit ain’t easy to deal with and it takes a FUCK TON of effort to keep it off and change your lifestyle.

I'm 170 and I'm taller and fatter than you
Running? WTF is that, injury class?
No it’s what cyclists did before they got too fat and hurt their knees so they needed a “low impact“ exercise.Running? WTF is that, injury class?

I'm about close to this category. I'm 6'2" and 275 lbs with a 36-38 waist. 3x shirts are tight across my Back/shoulders.Right now I'm a brick shithouse 260 lbs with a 36 inch waist. 6'3".
Agree, Squats and deadlifts are hard, but they strengthen your back and knees, leg presses are easier, hurt your back & knees.Careful with that, bro. Stresses me just watching that. If you go too low, you can hurt your lower back. I've also seen videos of people breaking shit when they lock out at the top.
If you need surgery on your gut due to excess fat and a boob job in your 40's, I feel bad for you to a degree.This thread is funny.
I still want to make it to 205 eventually, then maybe look into some vanity surgery to remove this lovely belly flap and skin tits I've developed. I'm a man in my mid 40s and I need a boob job, who would have ever thought?
