And what is the rest of the world doing to help Ukraine? As I drive to the depleted grocery store, avoiding pot holes along the way, I wonder why we can’t help with issues here at home…violence and decay everywhere.
Im 56. Somewhere, somebody is unfolding themselves out of bed, limping to the medicine cabinet and throwing down pill after pill. Lord willing, Ill never…
Im carb loading, protein saturating and going to lift some HEAVY IRON in the garage.
Rage against age my friends.
I am going to push my 56 year old body through physical conditioning that my 20-30 year old self would have crumpled and quit over. I am willing to pay the price just to feel free from the confines of my chair.
It’s not about weight loss. It’s FREEDOM.
I dont know who needs to hear this but at age 56, I probably train harder and smarter than at 26. Stop believing the nonsense that youre old. Stop acting old. Start training HARD.
Me: Follows fitness/bodybuilding account
Them: posts, boasts, brags
Me: attempts friendly conversation about posted topic
Them: ignores questions, continues self love and narcissistic posts, only interested in sales to support roid habit.
Me: Unfollow
Give something back!
Rage against age! 55 years and I’m not going to quit training hard. These are my 3 way shoulder finishers designed to hit all three heads of the deltoids.

One of the most manipulative moments in history:
Jussie Smollet framing MAGA.
If that didn’t wake you up
Nothing will.
They want us divided.
This is what my arms look like after 44 years of natural drug free training. Have a little pump here after 9 sets bis, 9 sets tris. 256 lbs at the moment. The arms should look pretty good when I get to about 235 lbs. I’m in no rush.
In the 80s, early 90s, Folks at the gym got to know each other, spotted each other, went out to eat after, played volleyball and wiffle ball, touch football, had cookouts, weddings, offered jobs….nobody was on a phone, ever.
In both photos I am eating as much as I want. Photo on left- a year ago- appetite out of control- always hungry and in pain. On right- no inflammation and no hunger.
I post a video of me training in my home gym. I haven’t had to pay a gym membership since the 90s as Ive added great equipment over the years. Ive got roughly 1000 pounds in iron. I have lifted for 44 years.
Dude says my shoes are trash. Lesson there.
All the years of Natural lifting and heres another FLEX FRIDAY in my 50s. I train 3-4 times a week and eat all the protein I can get. It’s something to do right?
@DaveEDanna
DD, each day that you are not gaining is a win. I’m sorry that you are the target of internet bullying and harassment as you take this journey to a new you. One day at a time, battle the old demons and win man.
I know you have inspired many other people who are struggling. 👍

I’m 58. Started bodybuilding 45 years ago. I’m not going to agree with you on this because I routinely get more than 300 G protein a day and have for decades.
Please stop asking me “How much did you lose?”
Allow me to tell you instead what I have gained.
I changed my diet to be about 50% protein and keep carbs very low, under 5% of cals.
Standing up for 30 min was a challenge, now Im running for that long. I GAINED FREEDOM.
Serious question…
Reflecting on the last two days…
How many people in their 50s can bench 300 plus and also run 3 miles? Im not bragging, Im saying its not even that far fetched to think MOST could achieve it!
We need to push each other more.
@GigaBasedDad
No such thing as an atheist. What they really are is angry with God…anti theism….its hard to admit but we all know DNA didn’t happen by chance.
I lift weights/train, because it’s FUN and enjoyable.
I love it.
Being stronger, bigger, looking better…all just side effects of the training.
It’s both an art and a science.
For years I had to ice my knees after standing to coach.
I ran for a full hour non stop yesterday and did not ice and Im 100% pain free. No medications, no anti inflammatory pills- the “secret?”- protein, fat, very low carbs and plenty of water. Its been LIFE CHANGING!
Shrinking face…fountain of youth
50% protein, very low carbs (under 30g daily) *THIS CONTROLS INFLAMMATION!
5 meals a day spaced 3-4 hrs apart
running 30 -60 min as often as I can
training with weights for size and strength
Just set a LIFETIME best of running non stop 60
Min. Not easy at 269 lbs and 56 but not all that big of a deal either! A few videos from today’s run. See comments
10 weeks ago I couldn’t run for 5 minutes. Today I did 5 miles in 55
Min. I’ve definitely improved by leaps and bounds. My goal is to
Hit 6 miles in an hour.
The bulk in progress. 275 now. 20” arms. Lifetime natty.
always a bit bloated up on Mondays …but what a great training session. Going to scale back the cals this week and see how It goes. Should be around 3200-3300 most days.
If I’m not following YOU, and you aren’t posting porn or material not suitable for scrolling in my family room, please let me know And I’ll follow back. Some folks I can’t follow because I often scroll with kids around.
Well it finally happened. I’ve built up enough followers to earn a few trolls and haters. For everyone out there who stands for and believes in being kind to others, you know eventually you have to reduce the toxicity. Blocked function activated.
This is what Mass training can do in your late 50s. You may not like it but natural training (drug free) can still result in good size and strength. Being shredded is ok but size and strength means more later in life in my opinion. It’s far more useful.
@jennystojkovic
I’ve been eating 2 plus pounds a day or so for decades.
most bodybuilders and powerlifters do. I think we are all going to be ok. Stop your nonsense intended to push plant based frankenstein foods and bug based fillers. It’s increasingly obvious- BUYING “science” is a problem.
Age 57. Just hit a Lifetime best 240 lbs on seated press. I’m going to try 245 in a couple of minutes and film from a different angle to show full range of motion. I knew this was going to happen. This is a very successful bulk mode. Rage against age.
Taking the time to weigh food and pay attention to calories has resulted in yet another lost pound. This puts me at 32 lbs lost in 7 weeks. Im still getting 1 gram protein per lb body weight to protect muscle. Today will be another 🏆 win.
I’m not arguing with Craig on this however, it’s undisputed that ENJOYING your training is the number 1 most important consideration for actually sticking with it. 45 years in the gym for me. It’s fun to me.
Fun is NOT be the goal of exercise. The vast majority do not consistently train because they've feen fed this bullshit message that working out is a form of entertainment. No matter how many ways they try to package it, exercise is hard fu*

Same
People want to legalize marijuana:
Football is a great developer of character, discipline, toughness, team and selflessness.
So selfish to deny any boy of this great game and brotherhood.
