Retired and ready to kick ass. Perfect time in life to be a bad-ass.
35 years old
Currently:
1.5 body weight bench
2.5 BW Deadlift
2 BW Squat
20 min. 5K run
Goal:
2 BW Bench
3.25 BW Deadlift
3 BW Squat
18 min. 5K run
Most important obstacle is to stay injury free, currently at 22 fractures over life time. That equates to a whole lot of training interruptions. I think I’m more familiar with rehabbing my body then I am with training, which is ending as my life style choices are changing to put myself at less risk.
Fight well,

Hey everyone. This is only my second post, but been hangin’ around for awhile. I’m 43, 5’9" and 170. Don’t know my bodyfat, but am a size 8/10, if that helps.
That’s one of my questions…What’s the best way to measure. They have those breath test things at the gym, but I’m very sceptical.
My goals are…visible abs after 3 children, bench my weight, Im benching 100 now; improve my back (have had to lay flat on my back for days a couple of times a year). To combat this, I’ve started doing deadlifts just recently, and I’m in love!!! I already to DEEP squats too. Any input from ya’ll is greatly appreciated!
Oh yeah, forgot(Hah!). Lose another 15-20 lbs of fat. Funny how that slipped my mind.

5’7" and 235 lbs with visible abs? Jack, you are a beast. A big, mean, hairy beast. Actually I’m not sure about the hairy part or the mean part but it sounded good :0

Excuse a newbie for butting in on your vet site, but do you plan on doing this with bulking/cutting, repeat yr. after yr. and so on, or just a continuous plan of diet/lifting?
I have had a few goals. My first was to lose over 120 pounds in 6 months. Done. My second goal went hand in hand with the first to get to 11% BF. Done. My current goal is to now gain 30 pounds of lean muscle. 4 pounds away. Beyond that… To get to 210 and still be between 11% and 10% BF. I will get there by Sept or Oct.
Start 278 pounds at 38% and 6 feet tall.
Lowest 152 pounds at 11%
Current 178 pounds at 12%
Goal 210 pounds at 11%
I started all this in Oct 04
30
5’4"
160lbs
~15-16% bodyfat
Bench: ~235
Squat: ~280
Deadlift: ~335
My goal is to get bigger, stronger, leaner and look good naked!
I’m currently at my biggest and strongest but know I can go much further.
My ultimate goals I’ve recently set include:
Size: 165-170lbs at 10-12%
Bench: 240-250
Squat: 315
Deadlift: 350-375

It’s a process. Kind of a two steps forward, one step back approach.
There will be several buking and cutting cycles involved before I hit my ultimate goal.
