I am 47 years old. I have been out of it for about 10 years, but just got back into the swing of things. I’ve been going straight for 2 years. Back in my prime I wrestled and lifted a lot. I figured, I don’t want to be 50 years old and out of shape.
My current bodyweight: 185 lbs
Height: 5’6 (short!!!)
Current lifts
Bench: 295 lbs
Dead: 411 lbs
Squat: 430 lbs
I’ve always been strong. I have done some steroids when I was younger, and since have regretted it, but I am not sure if that matters anymore since it has been about twenty years since I’ve juiced.
My chest has definitely shrunk over the years, and want it to get bigger again.
My diet is pretty good and I do about 200 grams of protein a day.
You’re in decent shape for your age. Looks like you’ve made good progress in the last 6 months.
What are you goals, other than not being fat and outta shape at 50? Do you ahve a bodyfat % goal, weight goal, strength goal, etC?[/quote]
Thanks! I actually don’t know my bodyfat percentage. Does anybody know the best way to measure it?
I would like to get my weight down to about 165 as it was twenty years ago, but I’m not too sure how possible that is. I mean, losing weight is just not like it used to be.
You know, lifting wise, I really don’t have any goals. Being the age that I am I really don’t want to hurt the ol’ joints.
My biggest goal is to look good, have a ton of sculpted muscle, etc. (I want to be able to attract young twenty year old hotties! lol!)
Thanks for the input. My speedo collection is my pride and joy. I get a few laughs every now and then, but they are just jealous of my stuff! LOL!
Your navel is not to sexy to female specimens to the eye. You have muscular lumps, but you must, in all expenses reduce your fat percentage and reveal it to be stone statue quality.

C’mon guys! How about a little constructive criticism? My belly button? Whatever, that’s nothing new. Earth to T-Nation: Can’t change that! Hold up a shoe for bodyfat percentage? Are you really that dumb or am I just being poked fun at?
I would appreciate some ADVICE, not junior high humor.
