I vote you don’t have a choice. Join in ya old man.

Jesus. How can I resist?! Ok. But don't laugh. My physique has regressed materially over the past six month from stress-induced Cortisol flooding my body and from not hitting the weights regularly. I have been eating reasonably well and am not fat (quite yet), so that's my ignominious starting point!

Thread 'Contest Log: Spring 2025 Transformation'

Apr 7, 2025

So I'm getting into this a little late, but will still have the full 12 weeks to get back to where I want to be. Poppy, Neuro and DirtNasty--thanks for the encouragement as always.

Background: I'm a retired lawyer who now builds BMW race and performance engines for a living. I have lifted seriously off and on since I was a YMCA Mens Fitness Center attendant in 1982, but got serious about it in 2020 as a result of this board and the terrific trio I identified above along with a number of others. But after my firm unceremoniously kicked me to the street this past Summer after 30+ years...

A lifetime of backpacking and playing in the mountains built the legs- not a weight room.

So your saying I should do
That instead because my legs look like shit. I’ll be honest I’m a pussy and just can’t get myself to do higher reps on leg movements I’m a powelifter through and through

With the numbers you pull and squat… we’d need to load a house on your back in a pack.

Stats-
47 y/o, currently 186#, 5’ 6” and 3/4.
Maybe 25 years of cumulative training experience.

Goal is to increase 10-15# of muscle mass over 8 weeks in 2 blocks then transition to max strength and power for 4-6 weeks in 2 blocks. Progressive overload of 5-10% weekly with recovery weeks every 4th week dropping load and or volume.

CHALLENGES

Traditional hypertrophy training bores the fuck outta me. 4 sets of 8-10 reps blah blah… But it works so gotta suck it up. I much prefer throwing heavy things and flipping tires around.

Eating enough. As I get older crushing huge meals is hard...

Dealing with gastric issues, combination of diarrhea and major bloating. Coach and I have decided to pull the plug on this growth phase and go into a 2 week mini cut since I’m struggling to put food down and 3+ lbs down from yesterday. Log will continue as usual, goal is to put on quality tissue, this is just hiccup.

 

[WillyCorbet]

Stomach issues are the fucking worst. Sorry to hear it bro.

Plus side… the smaller we are the cheaper tattooing is???? Naw… fuck that logic.

Thanks @TG ....you quiet mofo....

Yessir the more the merrier. Just juggling the thought of brake, rotor, caliper work or this. 3 months of THIS would be cheaper. I have 10 days to see what's krackin. I was only asking because all I see is your thread. Granted competitors can start whenever..... Two tears in a bucket......

WELL EITHER WAY... It didn't matter I got fucked. Got two front struts and one wheel bearing replaced. Next project was the brakes as described above. Well, my front tires are about fucked and I need a new alignment. SO, now I have to get that done first because yes, the tires are that bad. Which I love because that's me pushing it on the brakes, prolonging shit . Was told alignment should be fine and honestly the car was not pulling and the steering wheel was still in the correct position so I had no way of telling until it was too late. SO there will be no gym for the next, I presume, 2 weeks. Bumming a ride to Walmart now for food. All in all this is my second set of tires and second alignment in a year. 400 tire job turned into a grand. Don't get me started on MY American brothers and sisters and those who ACTUALLY take pride in their work. All in all I'm in good spirits. Shit sucks plain and simple. I AM EXCITED to see your guy's progress through the next couple of months. Following everyone...,..
